Ventilation
Agricultural and livestock facilities generate huge amounts of heat, moisture, ammonia and airborne pathogens.
Without a constant, engineered air exchange, animals suffer heat stress that can cut fertility by more than two-thirds and depress milk yield, while crops face fungal outbreaks and slowed growth.
Efficient ventilation fans for agriculture and livestock remove stale, saturated air and pull in fresh, oxygen-rich air—protecting animal welfare, crop quality and, ultimately, profit margins.
Discover our ventilation fans for agriculture & livestock
Ventilation systems for livestock and agriculture are one of the flagships of Termotecnica Pericoli. The need for air exchange is a necessity in spaces intended for animals and in greenhouses.
From the very beginning, starting with the design of the first fan prototypes, our focus has always been to produce cutting-edge, technically and commercially advanced machinery. In the HVAC industry, technological progress is constantly evolving.
Our long experience in the construction of ventilation systems has led us to acquire skills and to test new production techniques to offer adequate solutions to customer needs. We aim to achieve optimal mechanical ventilation that combines efficiency and operational quality with particular attention to environmental impact.
We offer a wide range of axial fans for big environments. These are capable of satisfying all needs in agriculture and livestock, ensuring excellent performances both for greenhouses and industrial farming. In particular, our range of ventilation systems for livestock and agriculture offers:
- exhaust fans;
- air circulation fans or destratifiers
Exhaust fans
Exhaust fans are machines for maintaining an adequate atmosphere in greenhouses or livestocks. These are large fans that suck the air in order to ensure the right level of humidity and temperature.
They allow expelling air saturated with humidity, ammonia, gas and heat, and let in fresh, clean air.
Termotecnica Pericoli’s exhaust ventilation systems for livestock and agriculture are able to guarantee high air flow and efficiency.
They are designed to meet the needs of customers and of the various fields of application: cone fans, direct drive exhaust fans, galvanized steel or stainless steel body fans for particularly aggressive locations.
Whether it is tunnel ventilation, cross ventilation or a mixed system, whether you are looking for a windchill effect or the prevention of heat stress, Termotecnica Pericoli exhaust fans offer excellent and certified Made in Italy performances.
Agricultural air circulation fans
Air Circulation fans are designed to move large quantities of air at low pressure in order to have an homogeneous temperature inside greenhouses.
Termotecnica Pericoli produces large size circulation fans capable of cooling and moving the air for optimal dairy cattle ventilation during sultry periods, in order to manage critical temperature-humidity index (THI) or to control humidity and condensation levels in greenhouses. But, we also produce direct driven fans that require less maintenance as well as small cylindrical circulators with a destratification function.
All our ventilation systems for agriculture have been tested in our PERILab laboratory and are BessLab certified.
VENTILATION FANS IN AGRICULTURE AND LIVESTOCKS - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What’s the difference between exhaust fans and circulation fans?
Exhaust fans exchange indoor and outdoor air, controlling temperature, humidity and gases. Circulation fans move existing air inside to equalise climate and eliminate dead zones.
How many agricultural ventilation fans do I need?
Calculate the required air changes per hour (ACH) for your species/crop, then select fan models whose combined certified airflow meets that target at the expected static pressure.
Are livestock ventilation fans noisy?
Our direct-drive designs run below 65 dB at rated speed—well under EU occupational noise limits—while large-diameter blades allow high airflow at lower RPM.
Can I integrate fans with evaporative cooling or heaters?
Yes. Fans enhance pad or mist cooling in summer and destratify warm air from heaters in winter, delivering all-season efficiency.
Do fans reduce disease spread?
Higher airflow dilutes airborne pathogens and lowers relative humidity, inhibiting bacteria, mould and virus survival
