At the upcoming 2023 World Pork Expo held June 7-9 in Des Moines, Iowa, Automated Production (AP) will launch its new 24-inch Commander fan.

AP is a brand within AGCO Grain & Protein, a key business unit of AGCO. The company has five umbrella brands: Cimbria, GSI, AP, Cumberland, and Tecno—providing complete solutions in the markets they serve.

Visit booth V181 to talk with AP ventilation experts about how this new addition to the Commander fan line provides producers with improved efficiency and a better bottom line.

The new 24-inch option gives end users complete control over their swine barn ventilation needs. The fan features precise variable speed control for optimal airflow and efficiency, so producers can provide improved ventilation and, in some cases, fewer fans. In addition, electrical consumption costs decrease due to the use of a permanent magnet synchronous motor AC motor.

The 24-inch Commander fan can be controlled by any 0-10 volt output or hooked up to the EDGE or Expert controllers provided by AP. This fan completes AP’s Commander fan line, with the 24-inch, 36-inch, and 54-inch sizes now available.

World Pork Expo attendees will have the opportunity to run a payback analysis with one of the AP ventilation experts to fully understand the efficiency benefits of the Commander fan lineup.
