Nursery Heat Pad - 3' x 6'

Stanfield Nursery Piglet Heating Pad: Safe, Efficient, and Durable Heating Solution

The Stanfield Nursery Piglet Heating Pad provides a safe and uniform heat source tailored to the needs of growing pigs. Unlike overhead heat bulbs, which warm the air inefficiently and pose fire risks, this heating pad delivers warmth directly to the animals, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency. Designed to promote healthier and faster growth, it is the most economical and reliable choice for nursery environments.

Key Features and Benefits

• Uniform Heating: Evenly distributes heat across the entire surface, maintaining a consistent temperature 20-25°F (11-14°C) above ambient air temperature at full power.
• Energy Efficiency: Uses only 9.36 kWh per day, reducing energy costs while providing ample warmth for up to 36 piglets.
• Durable Construction: Made from flame-resistant, fiberglass-reinforced composite material that is water-tight, easy to clean, and blocks chilling drafts.
• Safe for Animals: Double-insulated heating elements are fully sealed, ensuring safety and durability. The treaded surface offers secure footing for piglets.
• Large Capacity: With a size of 6 ft. x 3 ft. (1.83 x 0.91 m), the pad accommodates up to 36 piglets, making it ideal for high-capacity nursery setups.
• Easy Installation: Includes predrilled holes and predimpled locators for secure anchoring. Smart-Fasteners are available for slotted floors, while concrete installations can use expansion bushings and screws.

Frequently Asked Questions

What surface temperature should I expect from a Stanfield Heat Mat?

In a nursery barn maintained at 70-75°F (22-24°C), the surface of the heat pad will be 90-95°F (32-35°C) at full power. Allow about one hour after power is applied to measure surface temperatures accurately. The mats are self-regulating based on ambient air temperature.

How do I know if the temperature is right for my animals?

Observe animal behavior. If pigs avoid the pad, it may be too cold. If they lay around the edges or defecate on it, it might be too warm. Adjust the barn temperature or heat mat controls as needed.

Can I use bedding or other materials on the heat mat?

Coverings are not recommended. The mats are designed for direct contact with animals, eliminating the need for bedding and its associated maintenance costs.

Do the heat mats have an internal thermostat?

No, they are designed to provide a consistent heat rise above ambient temperatures. Use Osborne Heat Pad Controls for reliable and economical temperature management.

Should I anchor the heat mats?

Anchoring improves safety and longevity. Fasten the mats using predrilled holes or dimpled locators. Apply caulking around the edges to prevent moisture buildup.
