For those looking to maintain a consistent temperature with minimal effort, Alke offers thermostatically controlled gas brooders.

The pilot light keeps the burner operating with minimal gas usage when the desired temperature is reached, providing both efficiency and cost savings.

• The Global 10 is suitable for up to 2000 chicks and should be hung 180 cm – 200 cm from the ground.
• The Alke AP2; can be hung 125cm from the ground. It is the most affordable thermostatic gas brooder that we have available.

Why choose Global over other brands?

Superior Material Quality:
Global heaters are constructed from stainless steel, unlike many competitors who use aluminium. Stainless steel is more durable, resistant to rust, and better suited for the harsh conditions often found in rearing environments.

Easy Maintenance:
The venturi, a crucial component of the gas brooder, can be easily removed for cleaning. This feature not only extends the life of the brooder but also ensures that it operates at peak efficiency, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Ceramic Gas Brooders

Ceramic brooders are a classic design that has proven to be both sustainable and reliable over the years. The ceramic components are crafted in-house at Alke’s factory in Holland, ensuring consistent quality and performance.

Manual Temperature Control:
Unlike the thermostatic models, ceramic brooders are manually controlled via the gas regulator. This allows for a more hands-on approach to temperature management, which can be ideal in certain rearing environments.

Size Options:
The Type 41 Ceramic Brooder is suitable for up to 400 birds, while the Type 81 can accommodate up to 800 birds. These heaters are especially well-suited for smaller brooder sheds or operations with fewer birds.

Cost Considerations:
While ceramic brooders are generally less expensive upfront, they may end up costing more in terms of time and operational efficiency. The manual control requires more attention and adjustment, which can increase labor costs and reduce overall efficiency.
