Dairy Solutions
Tunnel Plus experts are here to design the ideal climate for your facilities no matter the weather. Our ventilation system solutions are designed for year-round climate control that will keep your cows comfortable through the weather extremes from -30°F to 110°F. We focus on great air quality and heat stress mitigation for all stages of dairy production.

Ventilation Solutions
Tunnel Plus 4-Season Ventilation & Cooling will maximize efficiency and cow comfort resulting in areas such as improved reproduction rates, increased milk production, maintain higher milk components, decreased lameness, to name a few. All of these (and more) save you money and increase overall herd health.
Power Ventilation Barns
Tunnel Plus engineers the ideal climate for cross and tunnel ventilation barns, which provides better air quality for your cows. Keeping our 4-season ventilation and cooling in mind, these powered ventilation systems will keep your barn tempered all year round.
What sets the Tunnel Plus system apart?
- It can be used in tie-stall, freestall, and robotic barns. We can confidently custom design a system for any style dairy barn, big or small.
- Air exchange system
- Our diverse ventilation technology automatically adjusts to match the ideal climate desired through the hot and cold outdoor weather.
- Efficient use of exhaust fans are designed specifically to maximize fresh air in the barn, unlike older methods that used the exhaust fans to try to create airspeed throughout the barn. This old method causes high airspeeds in open areas such as the feed lane and alleyways and not at the cow level.
- Airspeed and heat stress mitigation
- High-speed fans paired with our water system are used to combat heat stress in the microclimate where the cows lay or in the feed lane while she is eating.
- Fans are focused on the stall area as well as the feed lane. Tunnel Plus provides solutions for all barn types and ceiling heights. We have a solution to fit your needs.
- With newer technology, our variable speed, high-velocity fans promote air movement directly on the cows to reduce heat stress and push fresh air down at the cow level.
- Heat stress cannot be completely reduced solely by airspeed, which is why our system pairs water with high velocity to get the greatest cooling effect.
- Stall focused air and cooling system
- Tunnel Plus fans and water are used to combat the heat stress that builds up in a cow's core body, whether she’s laying in a stall or standing in the feed alley.
- Cooling is far more than just blowing some air on the cows – Science has proven that the higher the airspeed, the more aggressive the use of water can be used to achieve proper evaporative cooling levels.
- With newer technology, variable speed, high-velocity air movement on the cows is taking evaporative cooling for cows to the next level.
Natural Ventilation Barns
The Tunnel Plus over-the-stall cooling system combined with natural ventilation boosts milk production, increases conception rates, and reduces heat stress losses.
What sets the Tunnel Plus system apart?
- Our stall cooling solution of fans and water are used to combat heat stress in the stall’s microenvironment as well as when she is standing in the feed alley
- High-speed fans paired with our water system are used to combat heat stress in the microclimate where the cows lay or in the feed lane while she is eating.
- Fans are focused on the stall area as well as the feed lane. Tunnel Plus provides solutions for all barn types and ceiling heights. We have a solution to fit your needs.
- With newer technology, our variable speed, high-velocity fans promote air movement directly on the cows to reduce heat stress and push fresh air down at the cow level.
- Heat stress cannot be completely reduced solely by airspeed, which is why our system pairs water with high velocity to get the greatest cooling effect.
Tunnel Plus cooling results in:
- A lower and more consistent core body temperature
- Longer, more restful lie-down times
- Less crowding
- Lower somatic cell counts
- Higher milk production
- Higher conception rates
- Less hoof issues due to standing longer for temperature regulating
Be the most consistent and efficient with each cow and she will thank you!
