Hog Slat Announces Launch of AirStorm Pro™ with Omni-EC™ Direct Drive Technology

NEWTON GROVE, NC – January 14, 2026 – Hog Slat announces the launch of its AirStorm Pro™ Fan line, engineered to deliver consistent airflow in the demanding environments of modern swine production. Powered by the innovative Omni-EC™ direct drive motor, AirStorm Pro™ combines advanced motor technology with premium components to deliver powerful airflow, exceptional reliability, and precise control when it matters most.

For decades, the swine industry has depended on traditional induction motors that slow down under heat, wind resistance, or fluctuating loads – often reducing airflow during critical moments. AirStorm Pro™ eliminates this compromise. Its Omni‑EC™ motor continuously monitors speed and thermal conditions in real time, automatically adjusting torque to maintain target RPM across a wide operating range.

“Better airflow means more consistent temperatures, reduced stress, and better pig performance,” said Ross Thompson, Hog Slat Ventilation Director. “ECM motors give us the ability to fine‑tune ventilation like never before—delivering the optimal amount of airflow, exactly when it’s needed.”

Producers can adopt Omni‑EC™ technology without replacing their entire ventilation system. Retrofit kits make upgrading straightforward and cost-effective, bringing advanced motor control and reliability to existing fan housings.

In an industry where reliability is essential, AirStorm Pro™ sets a new standard in ventilation engineering—providing producers with the stability and control required to maintain productive, healthy barn environments.
