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.
Reflect-O-Ray Infrared Radiant Heating vs. Underfloor / Unit Heaters
Discover why Reflect-O-Ray is the smart choice for heating your shop, offering rapid response, energy efficiency, and even heat compared to other systems.
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.

The Crucial Role of Dry Floors in Poultry Facilities
Maintaining dry floors in poultry facilities is not a housekeeping detail. It is a core biological and environmental requirement that directly affects bird health, airflow quality, pathogen control, and long-term production outcomes.
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.
Bring the Sun into Your Barn: Harnessing the Power of Infrared
The magic of infrared radiant heating unfolds through the principle of molecular resonance. As objects, including your cherished animals, absorb mid-infrared influence, their molecules respond with a dance of vibrations, generating comforting warmth. This molecular symphony, shared by the sun and Reflect-O-Ray® heaters, forms the heart of their ability to create a desirable indoor haven for animals and livestock.
