System Description
The AirPaddle system is installed beneath the bird area, directly above the manure belt. It is accessible and effective, providing a straightforward solution for manure drying.

Operational Mechanism
The system employs a new paddle design that generates necessary air movement for drying in an energy-efficient way. Two traction cables rotate paddles made from flexible plastic strips, oscillating 1.5 times per second. This movement, combined with the flexibility of the strips, creates a consistent airflow across the manure belt, ensuring thorough drying. Air is drawn in from the aisle and trough area, facilitating even drying across the belt's surface.
