Generators
Backup Generators for Intensive Livestock Operations
Production-Critical Infrastructure
Backup generators in livestock facilities are life-support systems for ventilation and climate control.
FarmPower designs, supplies and installs generator systems engineered for the realities of intensive livestock production.
Configuration & Engine Platforms
We supply generators in:
- Open set configurations
- Weatherproof canopy systems
- Containerised enclosures
Selection is based on environmental conditions, noise requirements and site layout.
Engine platforms include:
- Cummins
- Perkins
- Volvo
- Detroit
- Doosan
Automatic Redundancy & Failover
Dual generator systems can be configured so that if one unit fails, the secondary generator starts automatically.
Systems are integrated with:
- Automatic transfer switches
- Load prioritisation logic
- Alarm notification systems
This ensures critical ventilation remains operational.
Engineered for Worst-Case Scenarios
Our engineering team assesses:
- Base operational load
- Peak ventilation load
- Motor starting currents
- Seasonal variation
- Ambient temperature derating
Generators are sized for extreme heat events when ventilation and cooling operate continuously.
Generator Features
All FarmPower-supplied generators include:
- Remote start capability
- Water jacket heater
- Battery charger
- Alarm contacts
- Oil pressure monitoring
- Water temperature monitoring
- Fuel level monitoring
- High ambient temperature rating
Commissioning verifies stable changeover and load performance.
