Dairypower - Automatic Hydraulic Yard Scraper Systems
Dairypower is the foremost European designer and manufacturer of Automatic Hydraulic Yard Scraper Systems. Our patented scraper system has many unique features that make it the safest and most trouble free system in the world. The Dairypower scraper system is hydraulically operated, which means fewer moveable parts and considerably less risk of breakdowns. Also see the Dairypower Hydraulic Rope Scraper System which incorporates a hydraulic motor and winch unit to clean barn alley ways. Click on the images below to enlarge.
- Low power consumption
- Easy-to-use control panel
- Animal friendly
- All scraper equipment is hot dipped galvanized for maximum life expectancy
- No electronic components in contact with slurry
- Requires very low maintenance
The system is operated by a low noise hydraulic power unit connected to a hydraulic cylinder for each passage. One power unit can operate up to 6 passages. The hydraulic cylinder is connected to a Rail/Track that moves back and forth, moving the scraper in steps along the passageway. The scraper moves in steps at low speed, as the scraper stops for a few seconds during the return stroke of the cylinder. The animals are not stressed, and they can easily move away or step over it. The system is operated by a very simple user friendly control box. Each scraper has its own timer and switch. It can be programmed to run individually or as one sequence. One sensor monitors the movement of the rams for a complete system. It has a safety feature which automatically switches off a scraper where an animal becomes immobilized and will not affect the other scrapers on the system. Also the scraper can be programmed to park in any position which the farmer chooses.
The Dairypower Scraper System is the only hydraulic scraper manufactured that can operate in extreme conditions such as the very cold conditions experienced in countries like Russia and Iceland to the very hot conditions experienced in countries like Israel and the U.S.A. Our unfaltering commitment to on-going research and development has seen the Hydraulic System successfully installed for cattle, sheep, pig and poultry houses. The system has also been installed in sewage treatment plants, abattoirs as well as other industrial projects. Dairypower has a patented spring loaded rail cleaning device which can cater for any extreme hot or frozen conditions. This has been the greatest breakthrough in hydraulic scrapers as all other manufacturers experience great difficulty in dry conditions.
The Dairypower scraper system is controlled by a very simple user friendly electronic control box. Each scraper has its own timer and switch for flexibility and individual customisation. Passages can be programmed to run individually or as one sequence. It has a safety feature which automatically switches off a scraper where a cow becomes immobilized and will not affect the other scrapers on the system. One sensor monitors the movement of the cylinders for a complete system.
Dairypower produce two Ram Box options, a Standard External Ram Box or a patented Internal Ram which avoids any pre-installation work. The cylinders are specially designed for manure removal in barns. The cylinders are powder painted and the hard chromed piston rod is made of special steel. Both options can be installed to push or pull the scraper blade.
Dairypower has developed and patented an Internal Ram System. The cylinder is installed on the existing passage floor and is protected by a stainless steel Casing which the Rail runs on. All electrical parts are installed overhead away from the manure. This system avoids any pre-installation work.
There is a range of Dairypower scraper blades to suit all types of passageways:
- Standard Straight Blade Heavy Duty Scraper
- Universal Scraper (The Blades are hinged so the Scraper can clean both flat and sloping floors, with the manure running inwards
- Double Blade Scraper (for very long passageways)
- Delta ‘V’ Scraper Blade (for passages with large difference in width)
- Pig Scraper (special low scraper to allow pigs to walk over)
- Slat Scraper (special locked blades, with outer rubber cleaning wings)
- Silage Scraper (scraper pushes silage to head-feed and closes on return journey to allow tractor access)
