amacs ventilation A healthy house climate is a prerequisite for optimum performance amacs determines the ventilation require ments in your house with state-of-the-art technology. All standard ventilation systems – from negative pressure (side, tunnel, CombiTunnel ventilation) to balanced pressure and natural ventilation – can be controlled. amacs controls and monitors the following climate elements: fresh air exhaust air heating (in the rearing house) mixers for manure belts air cooling control cabinets emergency openings alarms CombiTunnel ventilation – the ideal ventilation system in case of...

amacs feeding Need-based supply of feed to the birds The need-based supply of feed adapted to the age of the birds and to the laying performance is a decisive factor for saving feed costs. amacs controls and monitors the entire feed management. When connected to the UniScale silo scale, amacs records all feed deliveries as well as feed consumption. Even at the same time! Feed management includes: silo weighing delivery control batch feed weighers dispensing of feed additives, e.g. calcium chain feeding feed carts Recording of the feed consumption by means of silo weighing with UniScale amacs...

amacs water supply and light control Meeting the water demand and controlling the light program with great precision Optimum water supply is very important for a high laying performance. amacs allows you to: onitor the water fill level in each line; m up automatic rinsing programs (start set according to time, water temperature or manually); create water counter groups; up water programs. set Using electronic water counters, amacs records the water consumption in ml/day and hen, overall and in l/hour. Insufficient water supply is immedi ately communicated. A red icon indicates the location where...

amacs Digital EggFlow Control of the daily egg collection process with the highest efficiency and best egg quality The patented control system Digital EggFlow is available as a stand-alone solution or as an amacs module. The system controls the longitudinal egg belt speed based on the total number of eggs coming from the different houses. This makes it possible to utilise the connected graders and packers optimally. Often, graders and packers are not utilised to their full capacity. Possible reasons include: – aiting times at the start of collection; w – ome houses are started manually; s – he...

With amacs Digital EggFlow, graders are utilised at optimum capacity. This saves time and significantly increases efficiency.

Control of manure drying systems outside of the house The amacs module for manure drying tunnels allows you to control the manure dryers OptiSec and OptiPlate. The specially developed control is very reliable and operates very safely. amacs controls and monitors the following elements: to 20 manure removal groups; up to 20 manure cross belts; up individual assignment of the manure cross belts to manure removal groups; variable belt speed depending on the amount of manure; individual belt speed monitoring by means of sensors in each tier; partial manure removal based on a percentage; fully automatic...

Control of the manure drying process on the manure belts inside the house amacs ensures good and uniform manure drying and thus reduces NH3 emissions in the house. On the basis of the outside temperature, the manure drying temperature and humidity levels, amacs controls air mixers as well as automatic filters, if applicable. Use of an air mixer at the gable in a cage house Permanent straight running of the manure belts during manure removal with AMBA During manure removal, the automatic manure belt adjustment system AMBA ensures that the manure belts run perfectly straight (option). This new...
