SKOV DA 1200 Wall Inlet

Controlled Fresh-Air Distribution for Poultry and Livestock Barns

The SKOV DA 1200 Wall Inlet is a durable agricultural ventilation inlet designed to introduce fresh air into poultry and livestock buildings while supporting consistent indoor climate conditions.

Designed for installation in concrete and brick walls, the DA 1200 directs incoming outside air toward the ceiling, allowing it to mix with existing indoor air before reaching the animals. This helps reduce uncomfortable drafts at animal level and supports more uniform air distribution throughout the barn.

With insulated inlet flaps, tight-closing construction and coordinated pull-rod operation, the SKOV DA 1200 Wall Inlet provides reliable fresh-air control during both minimum and higher ventilation requirements.

Suitable for natural, LPV and Combi-Tunnel ventilation systems, the DA 1200 offers a flexible solution for new agricultural construction and compatible livestock ventilation upgrades.

Key Features & Benefits

• Controlled Fresh-Air Distribution: Directs incoming air toward the ceiling, allowing outside air to mix with indoor air before reaching livestock.
• Uniform Barn Climate: Supports consistent air distribution throughout the building, helping reduce localized drafts and uneven environmental conditions.
• Effective Minimum Ventilation: Designed to maintain controlled airflow even when ventilation demand is low.
• Tight-Closing Inlet Flap: Helps prevent unwanted drafts and uncontrolled air infiltration when the inlet is closed.
• Fully Insulated Construction: Helps minimize condensation and ice formation during colder operating conditions.
• Coordinated Pull-Rod Operation: Multiple inlets can be adjusted together to maintain consistent opening positions along the ventilation system.
• Advanced Inlet Control: Includes an adjustment mechanism designed to support accurate inlet regulation under changing ventilation requirements.
• Durable Thermoplastic Construction: Manufactured from high-impact, UV-stabilized thermoplastic designed for long service life.
• 100% Recyclable Material: Uses recyclable thermoplastic construction.
• Easy-to-Clean Design: Smooth, open surfaces simplify cleaning and can withstand appropriate high-pressure washing.
• Flexible Wall Installation: Designed for direct installation in brick or concrete walls and compatible prefabricated wall elements.
• Multiple Wall-Thickness Options: Available in configurations suitable for wall thicknesses ranging from 20 cm to 35 cm.
• Optional Air Direction Baffles: Help adjust incoming airflow patterns, particularly during colder weather or in wider livestock buildings.
• Optional Light Traps and Inlet Covers: Allow ventilation installations to address daylight control and exposure to rain or snow.
• Optional Screens and Mesh: Available accessories help reduce the entry of flies, birds and other unwanted pests.
• Low-Maintenance Operation: Designed for durable operation with minimal routine mechanical maintenance.

How the SKOV DA 1200 Wall Inlet Works

The SKOV DA 1200 Wall Inlet is installed in the exterior wall of a poultry or livestock building as part of a properly designed ventilation system.

Step 1 — Fresh Air Enters Through the Wall

Outside air enters through the inlet as the insulated flap opens.

Step 2 — Air Is Directed Toward the Ceiling

The inlet directs incoming air upward, allowing it to travel along the ceiling rather than flowing directly onto the animals.

Step 3 — Incoming Air Mixes with Indoor Air

The fresh air mixes with the existing barn air before moving into the occupied area.

Step 4 — Inlet Openings Adjust

A pull-rod mechanism regulates the inlet openings, allowing multiple units to maintain coordinated positions.

Step 5 — Ventilation Responds to Changing Conditions

When integrated with compatible ventilation controls and exhaust equipment, the inlets help maintain the airflow required for the building’s climate-management strategy.

During warmer conditions, higher air velocities can also contribute to a cooling effect for livestock.

Uniform Air Distribution for Livestock Comfort

Consistent air distribution is important in poultry and livestock buildings.

Poorly directed incoming air can create localized drafts, uneven temperatures and inconsistent conditions throughout a facility.

The SKOV DA 1200 Wall Inlet is designed to direct incoming air toward the ceiling, where it mixes with the existing air before reaching the animals.

This approach supports more uniform indoor conditions, particularly during minimum ventilation when outside air may be significantly colder than the barn air.
