Our System
Sonas Automation and Reporting (SonAR) is the award winning system of pathogen suppression equipment, designed from within and for the benefit of poultry agriculture.
Sonas Automation and Reporting (SonAR) is the award winning system of pathogen suppression equipment, designed from within and for the benefit of poultry agriculture.
Sonas Developments Ltd and the SonAR products apply principles and technology often found in more high-tech industries, bringing their proven benefits to agriculture. We design and build on an equipment core from the world’s leading component manufacturers to manage the precise concentration of chemical sanitiser present in a space.
To retrofit into an existing hatchery, we package our equipment in a remote plant room. This unit is custom built to 20ft container dimensions, allowing for shipping and lifting using standard vehicles.
The unit houses a centralised chemical store and the main proportion of our equipment.
Every space to be managed (individual hatcher etc) has dedicated components and a separate fluid control circuit. Any issue with one circuit cannot impact another. We use the market leading components in every application, such as Grundfos digital dosing pumps and Johnson Controls building automation hardware.
Case Study – Grundfos Pumps
The choice of materials for fluid delivery is of paramount importance in chemical handling. Although our system will detect even the smallest leak or blockage and stop dosing, we take every precaution to prevent accidental fluid discharge. We use highly specialised seamless pipe with no joints along the length of the run, to reduce the possibility of failure. We sheath this pipe with an unbroken outer layer of mechanical protection, incorporating an air gap to retain any possible discharge.
Specialist pipe and fittings are provided by EM-Technik, the world’s leading manufacturer of chemical resistant fluoropolymer connectors and fittings.
We design the components that interact with your space specifically for each task. Our gas analysers are unique to Sonas and certified to give accurate results in our application.
Biocide is presented through a system of ultrasonic vaporisers, also unique to Sonas. We do not spray liquid or introduce additional heat into your process.
When used in a hatcher, there is no need to cover our unobtrusive injectors while cleaning between hatches.
“It’s absolutely amazing. Implementing Sonas for me has been a no-brainer!”
The equipment used to suppress pathogens in poultry agriculture has been given an upgrade, with Grundfos pumps at the heart of the improvements.
Where specialist components are required, Sonas uses pipe and fittings provided by EM-Technik, the world’s leading manufacturer of chemical resistant fluoropolymer connectors and fittings.
