Middleman

The Ultimate in Even Heat

The center fired burner of the Middleman tube heater provides even heat across the entire length of the heater, the most even heat of all of our radiant tube heaters. Based on past performance and success, many turkey farmers in both Canada and the USA name the Middleman as their first choice for heating their turkey growing operations.

The Center Fired Burner Provides Even Heat

The Middleman tube heater provides the most even heat of all of our radiant tube heaters. The center fired dual burner ensures that heat is transmitted evenly and efficiently across the entire length of the heater, providing greater overall comfort. 

The center fired burner reduces the temperature variance down the length of the emitter tubes, allowing the Middleman to excel in areas with low ceilings, and in spot heating applications. In these areas, several smaller end fired radiant tube heaters would otherwise be used to ensure even heat distribution. The Middleman can more efficiently cover these areas with evenly distributed heat, reducing the number total units required, and resulting in decreased installation costs.

Applications for Middleman heaters include heating in manufacturing plants, warehouses, commercial spaces, greenhouses and poultry brooding. Anywhere where even heat distribution and comfort is your goal, the Middleman is the ultimate choice.

Proven Agricultural Success

Middleman heaters are highly successful in turkey brooding, where even heat distribution is important to the health and well being of the birds. The Middleman’s precise and even radiation result in larger, less stressed, healthier birds with the added benefit of reduced fuel and feed costs.

Based on past performance and success, many turkey farmers in both Canada and the USA name the Middleman as their first choice for heating their turkey growing operations.

The Burner

  • Burners from 90,000 to 120,000 BTUH, in lengths from 22′ to 62′.
  • The center fired burner reduces temperature variance from end to end, providing even heat distribution
  • Straight runs, U models, and custom configurations available with the use of 90 and 180 degree elbow kits.
  • Natural gas and propane fired models built to order with no field conversions required.
  • Reliable electronic hot surface ignition.
  • Built with 100% North American made electronic controls.
  • Continuous combustion monitoring with three ignition trials before 100% safety lockout.
  • Totally enclosed blower motor with internal thermal overload protection. Blower motor is externally mounted for ease of accessibility and to simplify intake air connection (4″ combustion air intake duct adapter comes standard).
  • Dual air proving switches monitor combustion air and exhaust airflow for safety.
  • Flame observation port to visually observe combustion.
  • Factory ready to accept either 24V or 120V controls.

The Radiant Tube

  • Emitter tubes are 4″ diameter, 16 gauge North American steel.
  • Primary combustion tube made of high temperature, high emissivity specialty alloy.
  • Secondary tubes constructed of 16 gauge carbon steel for high emissivity.
  • Swedged tube for ease of installation – no couplers or clamps required at joints.
  • Emitter tubes provided with a 20 year burnout guarantee.

The Reflectors

  • Highly efficient, wide angled aluminum reflectors – engineered to reflect maximum radiant energy over the largest effective area possible.
  • Highly polished material to provide the absolute best in reflectivity.
  • Steel hangers with suspension points for both flat and angle mounting of reflectors.
  • Side reflectors and arena reflectors available.
