ALKE: Gas brooders and infrared heating for poultry houses
Products
Gas brooders5
Global 5ALKE's best-known gas brooder: a spherical stainless-steel burner under a round reflector sends about 95% of the heat straight down onto the chicks. A second, small burner inside burns off dust, so it works without an air filter (filters are optional for very dusty houses).More 
Global 10The larger Global brooder, with the same spherical burner and round reflector, for wider brooding areas. Like the Global 5 it comes with pilot ignition or fully automatic electronic ignition run by the house controller.More 
Megasun 12-EiA robust canopy brooder with a wide heated area and little maintenance in dusty houses. Electronic ignition shuts the gas off completely if the flame is not detected, and in a power cut it can still be lit by hand.More 
AP 2 F / FTA stainless-steel radiant brooder with a cylindrical burner housing, the AP model made for poultry. It has a stainless dust filter and a safety device with thermocouple as standard; the FT versions add their own thermostat.More 
Ceramic 41 / 61 / 81ALKE's classic gas brooders with ceramic burner tiles, a design that has proved durable and reliable over many years. The number gives the size; F versions run on/off, FT and FTi have their own thermostat.More Space heaters3
AK-HLGas-fired infrared tube heaters with two-stage firing for poultry houses, for when ventilation is kept to a minimum and efficiency matters most. The two-stage technology is patented by ALKE.More 
Air Force 75A gas-fired air heater of robust build, easy to run; the doors lift off for maintenance. Electronic ignition, a high-limit safety thermostat and air-flow supervision come as standard.More 
Agrolec 45RALKE's electric infrared heater for farms. The shaped aluminium reflector spreads the heat evenly over the floor, with no hot spot right under the heater.More Gas control2
AlkeThermGas control panels that set the gas supply to the brooders: high or low through a solenoid valve, from a central control or with a mechanical or digital thermostat (MK1, TH, MK1-TH, MK1-HP11).More 
GPCA gas pressure regulator with pressure gauge and a modulating 0–10 V servomotor, so the house controller can turn the heat up or down smoothly; it also has a manual override.More Details and pictures from the manufacturer: alke.nl
The company
ALKE was founded in July 1974 in the Netherlands by Mr van Alphen and Mr Keurhorst; the name joins the first letters of their two surnames. It develops and builds gas-fired infrared heaters for agriculture and industry in its own factory in Scherpenzeel and, since 2004, also in Romania. More than 1.6 million ALKE heaters work in over 90 countries; the best known is the Global brooder.
