Product Overview The Fabric Air Duct for Livestock Ventilation is a textile-based air distribution solution designed for controlled fresh-air delivery in commercial livestock buildings. It can be used in pig houses, poultry houses, cattle barns, calf facilities, and other agricultural buildings where air needs to be distributed across a defined animal zone.

The system is engineered according to the building layout, ventilation capacity, installation height, livestock density, and required airflow pattern. Fresh or conditioned air is introduced into the fabric duct by a supply fan and distributed through strategically positioned openings along the duct.

Compared with conventional rigid ductwork, fabric air ducts offer lightweight construction, flexible installation, and customizable air distribution. Diameter, length, outlet pattern, fabric specification, connection method, and suspension arrangement can be designed according to project requirements.
Key Features
  • Lightweight textile construction for livestock air distribution.
  • Designed for distributed fresh-air supply along the required building zone.
  • Engineered outlet patterns for controlled airflow direction and distribution.
  • Suitable for positive-pressure fresh-air and conditioned-air systems.
  • Flexible installation for steel structure and other livestock building constructions.
  • Customized outlet size, spacing, direction, and quantity.
  • Washable fabric options available according to application requirements.
  • Detachable sections can simplify cleaning, storage, and replacement.
  • Can be integrated with supply fans, filters, heaters, cooling equipment, and climate-control systems.
  • Suitable for new livestock construction and ventilation retrofit projects.
  • Customizable according to local climate and farm conditions.
Structural Components A typical fabric air duct system consists of:
  • Engineered textile duct body.
  • Fan connection or air transition section.
  • Calibrated perforations, outlet holes, nozzles, or diffuser sections.
  • Cables, rails, straps, loops, or other suspension components.
  • End cap, end closure, or tensioning section.
  • Zippers, clamps, sleeves, or other detachable connection components according to design.
  • Optional internal support components where required.
  • Optional connections for filtration, heating, cooling, or other air-treatment equipment.
The exact construction is selected according to airflow, static pressure, building dimensions, hygiene requirements, and installation conditions.
Working Principle / Structural Principle A supply fan introduces fresh or conditioned air into the fabric duct. Positive pressure inside the duct maintains its operating shape and transports air along the duct length.

Air is discharged through engineered openings. The outlet size, spacing, position, and direction are selected according to the airflow calculation, static pressure, duct diameter, installation height, and livestock area.

A properly designed fabric duct can distribute air over a larger area than a single-point outlet. This allows the ventilation system to deliver fresh air more evenly while controlling air velocity in the animal zone.

  • Different outlet patterns for minimum, transitional, and higher ventilation stages.
  • Customized fan connection and transition geometry.
  • Suspension design matched to steel structure, concrete, timber, or other suitable building construction.
  • Single-line or multi-line duct arrangement.
  • Detachable sections for cleaning, storage, or seasonal operation.
  • Optional internal support or shape-retention components.
  • Integration with filtration, heating, cooling, and automatic climate-control systems.
Installation & Maintenance Before installation, confirm the fan connection, duct route, suspension points, outlet orientation, and installation height. For steel structure livestock buildings, the suspension system should be coordinated with roof purlins and other structural members.

The fabric duct should be installed without excessive twisting or sharp deformation. Suspension points should maintain the designed duct geometry. Fan-to-duct connections should be securely fixed and sealed.

Where washable fabric is specified, duct sections can be removed and cleaned according to the selected fabric and cleaning procedure. Regularly inspect fabric seams, outlet openings, connection points, suspension hardware, and end closures. Damaged components should be repaired or replaced as required.
Project Cases Fabric tube ventilation is used in livestock housing where fresh air needs to be distributed across an animal area. Positive-pressure tube systems are particularly suited to applications where a calculated and distributed fresh-air supply is required.

For commercial projects, the duct system should be designed together with the supply fan, building envelope, livestock capacity, installation height, air-treatment equipment, and required ventilation rate. The final duct diameter and outlet configuration are determined according to project-specific airflow requirements.
Product FAQ Q: What is a fabric air duct for livestock ventilation?
A: It is a textile air-distribution duct used to transport and distribute fresh or conditioned air throughout a livestock building through engineered outlet openings.

Q: Is it suitable for commercial pig houses?
A: Yes. The system can be engineered for farrowing, nursery, gestation, breeding, finishing, and other pig housing applications.

Q: Can it be used in poultry houses?
A: Yes, when the duct layout, outlet pattern, installation height, and airflow are designed for the specific poultry building.

Q: Can the duct diameter and length be customized?
A: Yes. Diameter, length, connection dimensions, outlet arrangement, fabric, and suspension method can be customized according to project requirements.

Q: Can the fabric duct be washable?
A: Yes. Washable fabric configurations can be specified where routine cleaning and hygiene are important. The cleaning procedure depends on the selected fabric.

Q: How are the outlet openings selected?
A: Outlet size, quantity, spacing, and direction are selected according to fan airflow, static pressure, duct dimensions, installation height, and the required air distribution pattern.

Q: Can the duct be connected to a filtered-air system?
A: Yes. It can be installed downstream of a suitable filtration and supply-air system when positive-pressure filtered ventilation is required.
