Ceiling Inlets for Breeders

Chore-Time’s Attic Inlets direct the incoming air along the ceiling of the poultry house for better mixing and to prevent downdrafts on birds.

More Air Flow

In tests, the total amount of air moved through a poultry house with attic inlets averaged 10-30% higher per day than houses with sidewall inlets only.
The higher ventilation rate typical in houses with Chore-Time’s attic inlets leads to:
- Lower house humidity levels
- Drier litter
- Lower ammonia concentrations
During the earliest stages of minimum ventilation, gravity-operated attic inlets open automatically when fans run. This dramatically reduces winch operation since sidewall inlets start operating later.

Higher Ventilation Rates During Cold Weather

With Chore-Time’s attic inlets, growers can maintain higher ventilation rates during cold weather without sacrificing house temperature or wasting fuel. Additionally, birds are provided with a better mix of air.

Fuel Savings

Fuel savings associated with the use of attic inlets may vary from 5 to 35% depending on house management, house construction and climate.

360° Airflow Insulated TopJet Attic Inlet

360° design delivers tempered air all around the inlet during the early stages of minimum ventilation.
Fully insulated to minimize heat loss and sweating, especially in cold environments. Soft rubber edge gives a tight seal when unit is closed.
Counterweighted inlet has an adjustable weight that lets user determine at what static pressure the inlet will open. Can also be locked shut without using blades.
Operate manually or connect multiple inlets to a cable that is connected to Chore-Time’s LINEAR-LIFT™ Winch and CHORE‑TRONICS® 3 Control.
- The control signals the winch when desired static pressure has been reached and the inlets open.
- When fans shut off, the inlets immediately close and the winch pulls them tight.
Removable bottom lid for easy cleaning and installation.

Gravity-Operated TopJet Attic Inlet

Supplements house sidewall inlets to provide an automatic supply of tempered air during the early stages of minimum ventilation, without a winch.
The inlets mix warm tempered air from the attic with house air along the ceiling — better for birds and more energy-efficient than bringing in cold, untempered air through sidewall inlets.
Remote Closure Kit allows gravity operation in the “open” position or units may be locked in the “closed” position.
To lock or unlock units in groups, connect multiple inlets to a cable that is connected to Chore-Time’s LINEAR-LIFT™ Winch and CHORE-TRONICS® 3 Control.
Simple assembly requires no tools; simply snap three sides together, insert bottom channel and snap fourth side in place to complete inlet. Remote closure kit requires only a drill and simple hand tools.
