Gasolec S-BROODER

The Gasolec S-series consists of reliable and affordable ceramic infrared gas brooders designed for heating poultry and livestock houses. With more than three million units produced, the S-Brooder has proven its performance and durability in livestock applications worldwide.

Its ceramic burner provides a high infrared output, directing heat towards the animals and litter. Each S-Brooder is supplied with a stainless-steel filter as standard. For more demanding conditions, an optional Heavy Duty (HD) filter is available.

Advantages

  • Simple to operate
  • Heat output adjustable from 50% to 100% when used with propane
  • High infrared output for efficient spot heating
  • Heat output easily controlled by adjusting the gas pressure
  • Suitable for use with manual gas pressure controllers
  • Portable and easy to install
  • Low maintenance requirements
  • Low noise operation
  • Equipped with a thermo-electromagnetic safety device
  • Stainless-steel filter included as standard

Applications
Gasolec S-Brooders are primarily used in broiler and turkey houses, where they create comfortable temperature zones at animal level. This allows the animals to move towards or away from the heat source and choose their preferred temperature.

The S-series is also suitable for:

  • Piglets in farrowing pens
  • Weaner pigs
  • Wean-to-finish production
  • Other livestock-heating applications
  • Outdoor and patio heating, subject to local regulations and correct installation

  • Air filter options

    Air filter options

    Dust and other materials being drawn into the heater can cause incomplete combustion, which may release toxic substances. To prevent this, every heater is equiped with a dust filter. There are two types of filters available:

    SS Filter (standard)
    The SS (Stainless Steel) filter comes standard with every S-series heater. Its design ensures durability and ease of maintenance. The filter can be quickly cleaned by hand during the production cycle and thoroughly cleaned with compressed air or water after each cycle.
    HD Filter (optional)
    The HD (Heavy Duty) filter is a completely different type of filter. Made from durable cloth material, it prevents 99% of dust particles from entering the S-heater—significantly more than the SS filter can achieve. Thanks to its folded design, the overall filter area is much larger compared to the SS filter, reducing the frequency of cleaning required. The HD filter can be easily cleaned by hand during the production cycle and thoroughly cleaned with water or compressed air after each cycle.
