10.4. Extensive maintenance in
poultry sheds
WARNING! Air heaters that are used in poultry sheds
must be cleaned and inspected after every clean-out,
before disinfection and the spreading of sawdust on the
floor.
CAUTION! The heat exchanger can be cleaned with a
pressure washer. Do not use a pressure washer to clean
parts that contain electronics, such as the electric motor
or the machine cover.
1. Use compressed air or a soft brush to clean the
remaining parts from the air heater. Focus on the
following parts:
a. The inside and outside of the body.
b. The fan blades and motor.
c. The temperature sensor.
2. Remove all dust from the motor. Accumulated
dust acts as insulation and can cause the motor to
overheat.
3. Use a brush to remove any baked on dust.
4. Clean the burner unit (see §10.2.).
5. Switch on the air heater and let it heat for a while.
This burns off any remaining dust particles.
6. Stop the heating process.
7. Cover the air heater when it is fully cooled off. This
protects it from dirt or dust.
8. Make sure the air heater is electrically isolated.
9. Disinfect the poultry shed and spread the sawdust.
10. Remove the cover from the air heater. The heater is
ready to be used.
