Chick Transportation Solutions

Valeo provides 4 customised innovative climate control systems to establish reliable temperature control and a supply of fresh air inside the load body.

Highlights

Customer benefits

  • 12 years experience in chick truck construction
  • First line run with driver and vehicle
  • Incorporated high capacity climate units manage the boxes’ internal temperatures.
  • Intake air is controlled to provide the correct oxygen levels.
  • Equipment inside the chick transportation load body is quickly and easily cleaned and disinfected.
  • Specifically designed to meet the stringent hygienic requirements of the modern hatchery.
  • Live telematic system to be installed in trucks as an option

1. RETURN AIR CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM

  • Most technically advanced automated system with air filtration and full temperature control
  • Complete Transfrig diesel refrigeration unit installed
  • Specially designed filtration system to clean the air before returning back into the load body
  • Specific air cycle system to provide best temperature and air flow control within the load body - independent of vehicle movement
  • Recommended use for the transportation of smaller quantities of parent and grandparent stock

2. DUMP AIR CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM

  • Advanced automated system with full temperature control
  • Complete Transfrig diesel refrigeration unit installed
  • A climate control system ensures to set ideal temperature using a specific refrigeration unit for cooling and diesel heaters for heating
  • Specifically placed and tailormade ducting ensures supply of even air flow throughout the truck body
  • Stale, heated air is extracted via roof mounted fans and “dumped” back into the atmosphere
  • Easy to clean and disinfect
  • Recommended to carry normal broiler and layer chicks

3. FORCE AIR CONTROL SYSTEM

  • Semi-automated, low-cost system with low running cost
  • Front opening with specially designed air intake louvre
  • Floor fans disperse the air throughout the load space by means of specifically placed ducting
  • Easy flow of air reduces the stress of the chicks in transit
  • Roof mounted fans pull stale, heated air back into the environment.
  • Installed heaters for warming and water chillers for cooling ensure relatively controlled climate conditions

4. FORCE AIR SYSTEM

  • Most cost-effective system with no on the road running costs
  • A front louvre allows air to be drawn into a self pressurised chamber while the vehicle is moving and then throughout the load body
  • System relies entirely on ducting, extractor fans and air pressure from the moving vehicle
  • Recommended to transport less stock as body heat and temperature within the load body can’t be controlled as effectively
