The Dairypower Smart Manure Aeration System was introduced into the Irish market in 1998. Since the aeration system was developed, Dairypower have worked with many research farms including the Dairy Campus, a test farm and scientific research centre in the Netherlands.

The patented rotary valve keeps manure in a homogeneous pumpable state that is always ready to spread.

In 2010 Dairypower extended the scraper range and developed the unique Rope/Cable Scraper System. This system can clean passages up to 200 metres in length using Dairypower’s patented Double-Winch system, eliminating the need for running two independent winch units on installation.
