TPI Air Inlet 145-VFG - Please note the connection kit & Vermin Mesh are not included FAQs

What is the main purpose of a TPI air inlet in a poultry house?

A TPI air inlet is designed to control and distribute fresh air evenly throughout the poultry house. It ensures proper ventilation by mixing incoming fresh air with warm inside air, reducing temperature fluctuations, moisture build-up, and ammonia levels. This creates a healthier, more productive environment for the birds.

Why is the TPI 145VFG such a popular model in the UK poultry industry?

The TPI 145VFG is a best-seller because of its durability, reliability, and excellent air control performance. Its aerodynamic design ensures consistent air throw and mixing, even at low ventilation rates, making it ideal for the UK’s variable climate. It’s also made from high-quality UV-stabilised materials, ensuring long service life and minimal maintenance.

How do TPI air inlets improve bird performance and welfare?

Proper ventilation through TPI inlets maintains a stable temperature and air quality, preventing cold drafts and reducing stress on the birds. This leads to better feed conversion, growth rates, and overall welfare.
A well-ventilated house also reduces disease risk by controlling humidity CO₂ and ammonia levels. When fully open the inlets force air to bird level to help in hot weather.

Can TPI air inlets help reduce energy costs in poultry houses?

Yes. By ensuring efficient airflow and reducing the need for excessive fan use, TPI inlets help maintain the desired climate with less energy input. Their precise control reduces heat loss during winter and improves cooling efficiency in summer, contributing to lower overall operating costs.

Are TPI 145VFG inlets easy to install and maintain?

Absolutely. The TPI 145VFG is designed for quick installation with a simple mounting system and lightweight construction. It requires minimal maintenance, thanks to its robust materials and smooth surfaces that prevent dust build-up. Regular inspection and cleaning are usually all that’s needed to keep performance at its best.
