Reflect-O-Ray: Everything Heating
Air temperature isn’t barn temperature. A barn is floors, walls, cages, and the ceiling. When all of those sit close in temperature, the room stays dry and easy to run. Air-first (convection)…

The Science of Infrared Heating in Poultry Barns
A deep scientific overview of radiant physics, mass activation, and the engineering principles behind next-generation low-intensity infrared systems.
Let the Sunshine In
For generations, poultry producers have struggled with the same challenges: keeping chicks warm, maintaining a stable environment, controlling humidity, and preventing disease outbreaks. While traditional heating methods attempt to solve these issues,…
Precision Physics
In a large shop, true efficiency begins when the walls, doors, and structure are held in temperature equilibrium — preventing freeze-ups, helping wash bays dry quickly, and reducing burner runtime.
Half the Gas, Same Barn
In 2010, River Road Colony’s hog barn ran on Co-Ray-Vac and burned 4,096 in natural gas. After switching to Reflect-O-Ray, the same barn — under virtually identical winter conditions — cost ,844 to heat. A 52.89% fuel cost reduction, holding everything else constant.
