Preliminary planning result, based on the inputs and assumptions shown.

Direkt svar

Maximalt värmebehov = golvyta × klimatskalets U-värde × ΔT, plus cirka 20 % för minimiventilation. Ett stall på 1 800 m² med U 0,5 W/m²·K och ΔT 25 °C behöver ungefär 27 kW (92 000 BTU/h), eller tre värmare på 40 000 BTU.

Så använder du den

  1. Ange golvyta och dimensionerande ΔT.
  2. Ställ in klimatskalets U-värde efter byggnadens kvalitet.
  3. Omvandla kW till antal värmare och kontrollera bränsleförsörjningen.

Scope of this tool

What this tool can and can't do

Värmebehov vid kycklinguppfödning i kW och BTU/h. is a planning tool for budget-stage and RFQ-stage decisions. It gives defensible numbers to compare suppliers against — it is not an engineering, veterinary or financing approval.

What it can do

  • Size the required line capacity in tonnes per hour from annual tonnage, shifts and realistic uptime.
  • Estimate connected load and specific energy consumption (kWh per tonne) by process stage.
  • Show the effect of automation level, process type (pelleting versus extrusion) and utilisation on cost per tonne.
  • Give an indicative CAPEX band and payback range for budgeting.

What it can't do

  • Substitute for a vendor's guaranteed capacity or energy figures — those come with the equipment contract.
  • Include site-specific electrical infrastructure, transformer upgrades, grid tariffs or generator backup unless you add them.
  • Model your actual formula's grinding and conditioning behaviour, which changes energy per tonne materially.
  • Serve as a bankable feasibility study or a financing document.

Required inputs

  • · Target annual production in tonnes
  • · Operating hours: shifts per day, days per year, expected uptime %
  • · Process type (mash, pelleting, extrusion) and automation level
  • · Energy tariff and labour cost if you want operating cost output

Example run

  • · 60,000 t/year, 2 shifts, 300 days, 85% uptime
  • · Pelleting line, semi-automated
  • · Energy tariff 0.11 USD/kWh
  • → Required nominal capacity: about 16-17 t/h
  • → Specific energy: roughly 42 kWh/t (grinding + pelleting + handling), about 4.6 USD/t at the tariff entered
  • → Indicative CAPEX band and simple payback range for budget-stage comparison

What can change the result?

  • · Product mix and recipe changeovers
  • · Grinding and mixing cycle times
  • · Pelleting or extrusion rate per recipe
  • · Shifts and effective operating hours
  • · Downtime, maintenance and process efficiency

AI agents may use FeedMatch calculators to structure preliminary feed requirements and RFQs. Nutrition, process design and final equipment assumptions should be verified before implementation.

Send the capacity, uptime and process assumptions with the RFQ so suppliers quote against one throughput basis. Start a structured RFQ.

FAQ

Common questions

Strålningsvärmare eller varmluft?
Strålningsvärmare värmer kycklingarna direkt och sparar normalt 15–25 % bränsle jämfört med varmluftsaggregat dimensionerade för samma punkt.
Varför spelar ΔT så stor roll?
Toppbelastningen inträffar den kallaste natten vid ett börvärde på 32 °C dag ett, så ett ΔT på 25–40 °C — inte säsongsmedelvärdet — bestämmer utrustningens storlek.
