The Original Radiant Gas Brooder
Space-Ray designed the original radiant gas brooder for use in Europe over 40 years ago. Our emphasis was then, as it is today, on quality and fuel efficient performance. Performance you can rely on. When it comes to products reliability and fuel efficient operation, Space-Ray Radiant Gas Brooders have withstood the test of time.
Unique 60° Emitter Angle Puts More Radiant Heat Into Primary Brood Area
No other radiant gas brooder can provide more radiant heat to the floor of your poultry house than Space-Ray. Our specially designed 60° emitter angle, combined with our deep dish canopy, produces an optimum heat pattern in the primary brood area. This large radiant heat pattern means that fewer brooders are required in each house resulting in fuel savings.
Fully Insulated, Enclosed Emitter Assembly for Durability & Efficiency
Space-Ray's stainless steel emitter assembly is fully insulated and enclosed so the insulation will not crumble or distort in the tough operating conditions normally found in poultry houses. This exclusive design not only provides durability but also prevents heat loss back through the emitter than can occur over time. This results in higher radiant output and continued energy efficiency that translates into annual fuel savings.
DSI Model Can Save Up To 5.8 Gallons Of Propane Per Day
The Space-Ray DSI brooder saves fuel that would normally be used for the pilot. Fuel that's currently used 24 hours a day, even when there is no call for heat. In fact, a broiler house with 14 brooders can use over 5.8 gallons of fuel each 24 hour period for just the pilot.

DSI Model Can Save Up To 4.2 Gallons Of Propane Per Day
The Space-Ray DSI brooder saves fuel that would normally be used for the pilot. Fuel that's currently used 24 hours a day, even when there is no call for heat. In fact, a broiler house with 14 brooders can use over 4.2 gallons of fuel each 24 hour period for just the pilot.
Patented WindBuster™ Pilot
The WindBuster Pilot System not only enhances flame stability put provides dependable ignition for virtual trouble-free operation, even with speeds up to 7 mph (11.2 km)
Space Ray SHP17B High Pressure Brooders

Reduces Fuel Consumption
Space-Ray high pressure radiant brooders save fuel by delivering radiant warmth directly to the ground level where it's needed most. Heating the ground level before the air saves fuel.
Ideal Replacement For High Pressure Brooders
The SHP17 is a perfect replacement for other high pressure brooders – in most cases individual units can be replaced without added costs.
SHP17B Air Filter And Control Panel Options
Space-Ray's SHP17B High Pressure Radiant Gas Brooder is ideal for farrowing and poultry operations. The SHP17B's circular design allows the heat to be efficiently spread across a wide circular area.
Air Filter Option
In reasonably clean operating environments, an air filter is unnecessary because of the SHP17B's unique double gas burner system that combusts dust and carbon to help prevent buildup. Space-Ray offers the air filter option shown here for use in harsh agricultural environments.
Modulating or High/Low Controllers
Space-Ray's SHP17B, when combined with either one of Space-Ray's economical High/Low control panels, can provide one of the highest fuel efficiencies of any brooder on the market today – dramatically increasing profits by reducing your cost of operation by up to 20%.
Hose Kit Accessory For New or Existing Installations
Space-Ray offers two hose kits for the SHP17B. One for new installations that include the 6' hose, adaptors and quick connect fittings, and one for retrofit (existing) installations that include just the hose and adaptors.

The Original Radiant Gas Tube Heater
At Space-Ray we designed the original unitized radiant tube heater over 40 years ago. Now, we have designed a radiant tube heater specifically for the poultry industry. Our emphasis was then, as it is today, on quality and fuel efficient performance. Performance you can rely on. When it comes to product reliability and fuel efficient operation, Space-Ray equipment has withstood the test of time.
Powerful And Fuel Efficient Radiant Heat
Space-Ray Radiant Gas Tube Heaters operate using the same principle ad the sun. Before heating the air, radiant warmth is delivered directly to the birds and litter area where it's needed most. This warmth at floor level helps to dry out the litter area and keep ammonia levels lower. It will also create a thermal reservoir in the litter area, trapping and recycling the heat to save fuel. The self-enclosed draft inducer pulls products of combustion through the combustion chamber, providing a more even tube temperature, increasing efficiency and safety. The draft inducer motor is totally enclosed, sealed and permanently lubricated for long life.
Available With The New Operational Cold Air Stopper™
Space-Ray's innovative Cold Air Stopper™ stops cold or hot air from entering the poultry house when the heaters are not in operation. This unique, patent-pending damper system inserts on the inlet side of the fresh air duct system.
When the heater's draft inducer starts, the Cold Air Stopper™ automatically opens to allow the introduction of fresh air for combustion. When the heater turns off, the Cold Air Stopper closed to prevent frigid air from being pulled into the poultry house, increasing the system's efficiency. The system can also stop sweating problems that can often plague tube heater control boxes. This condensation can not only drop onto the bird letter below, but reduce the life of the heating system. During summer, when the heaters are not in operation, the system can also prevent hot air from entering through the heater from outside.
Poultry Tube Heater Accessories
These accessories are included with every Space-Ray tube heater as standard equipment. Pictured above are S hooks, exhaust hood, flexible gas connector, manual shut-off valve and fresh air intake. Also included but not shown the wire hangars and end reflectors.

When it comes to product reliability and fuel efficient operation, Space-Ray equipment has withstood the test of time. Space-Ray's new PCA/PCS push-through series tube heater with its patent pending Tube Integrity Safety System, TISS™, provides you real options to meet the needs of your specific application.
Powerful And Fuel Efficient Radiant Heat
Space-Ray Radiant Gas Tube Heaters operate using the same principle as the sun. Before heating the air, radiant warmth is delivered directly to the birds and litter area where it's needed most. This warmth at floor level helps to dry out the litter area keeping ammonia levels lower. It also creates a thermal reservoir in litter area, trapping and recycling the heat to save fuel.
Introducing TISS™ - Tube Integrity Safety Shut-Off System
Space-Ray's patent pending innovative safety feature for positive pressure radiant tube heaters is called the "Tube Integrity Safety System" (TISS™).
In the unlikely event of a tube failure, TISS™ has been designed to automatically shut off the heater. The revolutionary TISS™ uses a simple principle to place an electrically insulated aluminum wire in tension above the reflector. Low voltage is then continuously passed along the wire in line with the gas control circuit. If heat levels increase due to heat exchanger failure, the wire melts and the safety circuit is broken, breaking the 24 volt circuit and shutting down the heater. You may never know it is there, but it provides peace of mind.
