High Pressure Radiant Gas Brooders
SHP17B Brooders
REDUCES FUEL CONSUMPTION
Space-Ray high pressure radiant
brooders save fuel by delivering radiant
warmth directly to the ground level where
its 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.
Our Angle Is On Performance & Quality
❑ Unique round design efficiently spreads more fuel
saving radiant heat over a broad circular area.
❑ Stainless steel canopy adds extra strength –
especially helpful if brooders are to be relocated.
❑ Ideal replacement for other types of high pressure brooders.
❑ Orifice Holder is easy to clean and wash down.
❑ No electricity is required.
❑ Stainless steel burner system modulates from low burn
to high burn as needed for increased fuel efficiency.
❑ Two orifice system with unique pressure adjustment
capability can maintain clean combustion at both
input levels.
❑ No air filter needed. Brooder features a unique double
gas burner system that combusts dust and carbon to
help prevent buildup. (For extremely harsh environments,
an air filter is available as an accessory.)
❑ Both propane and natural gas models available.

SHP17B Air Filter, Thermostat 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.
Thermostat Options
Space-Ray's SHP Series is
available with two thermostat
options. The Individual
Thermostat Control provides
easy and convenient ambient
temperature control.

The Remote Individual
Thermostat Control features
a remote sensor that can be
lowered to floor level for more
precise reading of the
temperature at liter level.
Air Filter Option
Made from stainless steel to resist
corrosive and extremely dirty
environments. Need two per burner.

Hose Kit Accessory For New Or Existing Installations
Space-Ray offers two hose kits for the SHP17B. One for new installations that includes the 6’ hose, adaptors and quick connect fittings, and one for retrofit
(existing) installations that includes just the hose and adaptors.
Modulating 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%.
Economical High/Low Control Panels Reduce Fuel Consumption
Non Electric
Modulating Control Panel
The SHP17B modulating control panel
requires no electricity for operation. It
automatically controls the output level
of the brooder based on the thermostat’s requirements.
High/Low With Integral Digital Thermostat
High/Low With Remote Thermostat
Space-Ray’s unique High/Low control panels have proven to provide up to 20%* lower fuel
consumption by automatically adjusting the brooder’s output from maximum heat output to the
minimum heat output in just seconds. Two models are available: one with an integral digital
thermostat, and one with a separate thermostat that can be remotely mounted.
