Advanced Environmental Controller

Rotem's ‍Platinum Plus and Junior Poultry House Controllers ‍are a modular system which manages all aspects of a poultry house: climate, temperature, feed, weighing and ventilation. Designed for operations requiring a large number of relays, the Platinum provides a plug-and-play solution for growers wanting to invest minimal time in programming thecontroller. Alternatively, growers wanting to configure the controller to fit exactly their particular installation can set every detail.

Platinum Plus and Junior Controllers feature Rotem’s ‍Precision Ventilation technology, an innovative technology that has revolutionized poultry house ventilation worldwide. Precision Ventilation features Dynamic Cruise Control, which automatically adjusts the ventilation system according to the changes in temperature, humidity and static pressure. The system takes into considerationthe wind chill factor, fan air capacity, minimum required ventilation according to bird weight, and the temperature differential between the two ends of the house. In doing so the Platinum provides:

• Optimal target temperature, humidity and CO2

• Optimal air conditioning; reduced humidity & ammonia levels

• Reduced heating & ventilation costs

User Friendly

Using a Platinum Plus/Junior is simple.The units feature a large LCD graphic display, and on-screen help and graphs. A Windows-based software package can be installed on any PC, enabling remote monitoring and control over the unit.
