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)…

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.
Underfloor Heating: The Uncomfortable Truth
Heated slabs make intuitive sense in small residential spaces. In large shops and barns, they turn the wrong surface into the primary heat source, which leads to slow response, cold structure, condensation, and long runtimes.

Ventilation in Poultry Facilities
Conventional heating methods, such as hot water or unit heaters, often present challenges in maintaining proper ventilation during colder months. The inherent warmth and heat distribution of Reflect-O-Ray’s infrared radiant tube heating system overcome these challenges. The technology allows for more air circulation, providing a controlled environment that fosters optimal conditions for poultry well-being.
Radiant Heating vs Underfloor Systems
At the core of infrared heating is the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and the atoms within objects. When objects are exposed to infrared influence, the photons, or particles of light, interact with the atoms at a subatomic level. This interaction initiates a fascinating dance at the molecular level.
As the photons collide with the atoms, they transfer energy, causing the atoms to vibrate and spin more rapidly. This heightened motion at the subatomic level is what we perceive as an increase in temperature. It’s a microscopic ballet where energy is exchanged, and the result is the generation of heat.
