Cow cooling for extremely hot and arid climates.
"Keep the Cooling on the Cows!™

State Of The Art Cow Cooling
The PATENT PENDING - FlipFan® from Schaefer is the new state-of-the-art in cow cooling for extremely hot and arid climates. FlipFan™ consists of a series of high velocity, long-throw misting fans, mounted on connected horizontal trusses on the upwind side of the shade. Unlike fixed fan cooling systems, FlipFan adjusts for sun angle, wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity to keep the cooling on your cows and provide maximum cow cooling all day and night. Cooler cows eat more, produce more milk and have much higher reproductive rates.


Customizable Automatic Controls
FlipFan™'s automatic control system allows the dairyman to operate the cooling system to best meet his own efficiency and effectiveness objectives. FlipFan measures wind speed, wind direction, temperature and humidity and knows the sun angle from the time of day. The dairyman gets to choose the set-points for when the fans and the mist turn on or off. FlipFan automatically adjusts the direction of the fans to follow the shade, to adjust for wind speed and direction and to move the fans out of the way for scraping and cleaning. Should you decide to add major line soaking or curtains to your dairy, FlipFan™ can control those accessories too.


Reliable and Easy to Install and Maintain
FlipFan was designed to cool cows effectively and also for ease of installation and maintenance, and reliability of operation. FlipFan arrives from the factory pre-assembled and ready to install. Installation teams install truss hangers on one side of the shade, and then hang the pre-assembled trusses on the hangers. Water and electrical connections are fast and easy. The system is pre-programmed with standard inputs and set points. You can be cooling cows the same day.

FlipFan is highly reliable and easy to maintain. Its' simple design, rugged components, and factory assembly, wiring and plumbing are designed for years of hassle-free operation.


High Return on Investment
FlipFan will significantly increase your milk production and reproduction rates by keeping the cooling on your cows and keeping your cows cooler. FlipFan is considerably less expensive than other leading dairy cooling systems and costs only slightly more than a good fixed fan cooling system while providing a list of benefits that no other dairy cooling system can match. FlipFan has been called "the best cow cooling money can buy," and will deliver an high return on your investment.
