Scrapers and Automatic Chain Tensioner
With this chain manure system we offer to you strong and flexible Heavy Duty scrapers
Straight blades
Straight blades offer a simply efficient scraper to clean away all types of manure and bedding. Depending on the kind of scraper, blades can cover alley widths from 1.2 to 5.2 meters. Blades are adaptable to the type of barn flooring: concrete, rubber, slatted or slopped floors. They are made of steel or plastic – plastic blades are designed to run better on rubber flooring. Besides cow-comfort features, they also take into consideration your needs and conveniently fold into a narrow shape, for example to let a tractor pass by in the alley.
V blades
This blade design is ideal for large volumes of manure, especially with straw bedding. The V formation gathers the manure cleanly and keeps pushing big loads forward, without spilling any back into the clean alley. Available with changeable blades: urethan blades with rubber mats, metal blades with concreate or Hardox-metal blades to tough condititions.
Chain tensioner
The optional automatic tightener system maintains a constant chain tension. As the chain elongates, the preumatic cylinders maintain a constant pressure throughout the stroke length.
