Basic Info
A reliable system for automatically cleaning manure from gutters in livestock houses(especially pig and cattle barns).By operating on a timed,automatic schedule,it scrapes manure and urine to an external collection pit,significantly reducing manual labor,maintaining dry and hygienic housing conditions,and improving the overall breeding environment.
Customer reviews
Erik Jensen · Production Manager
Our two TMR mixer wagons have operated continuously for over 3000 hours. Their weighing systems have maintained remarkable accuracy, showing minimal deviation from the nutritional targets set by our lab analysis. The wear rate of the abrasion-resistant steel blades when processing large volumes of hay has been lower than expected, which directly supports consistent feed mixing and herd health.
Dr. Anna Müller · Resident Veterinarian
A significant asset for our field veterinary visits. The aluminum alloy frame is sturdy yet lightweight. The adjustable chest and belly straps securely restrain sheep of various sizes, greatly reducing risks for both handlers and animals.
Camilla Rossi · Environmental Control Engineer
After installing 32 of your tunnel fans throughout our finishing barns, the pigs' respiratory rates dropped significantly during summer. I'm most impressed with the motors' IP55 rating—after two years in a high-humidity, high-ammonia environment, there has been no corrosion or insulation failure, and the energy consumption data perfectly matches the technical manual specifications.
Product Description
Product Features:
The core features are automation and high reliability.The system is driven by a motor that pulls the scraper blade back and forth within the manure gutter via a wire rope or chain.A microcomputer controller can be programmed for multiple automatic cleaning cycles per day,enabling unattended operation.The scraper blade design effectively removes viscous manure while minimizing wear on the gutter floor.Limit switches ensure automatic stop and reversal at both ends,preventing overload.Some advanced models feature overload protection,automatically stopping and alarming upon encountering an obstruction.

Product Specifications:
The system operates on a standard 380V three-phase(or 220V single-phase)power supply.The reducer has a high gear ratio and high output torque to ensure it can push heavy manure loads.The blade edge is often fitted with a wear-resistant rubber strip for enhanced sealing and durability.Installation requires a concrete manure gutter with a level floor and a slight slope.The wire rope diameter is typically no less than 6mm with high tensile strength.The system is designed for common gutter dimensions of 0.8-1.2 meters wide and 0.3-0.5 meters deep.

Product Application:
Primarily used in enclosed or semi-enclosed large-scale pig farms(fattening/pregnancy pens),dairy farms(confined barns),and for manure removal under step-cage systems in layer/breeder hen houses.It is the first critical component in building a"solid-liquid separation"manure handling system.Its stable operation is essential for reducing concentrations of harmful gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide inside the house,lowering the incidence of respiratory diseases in livestock,and is crucial for subsequent manure resource utilization(e.g.,composting,biogas fermentation).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q:How effective is installing an automatic manure scraper in improving the barn environment?
A:Highly effective. It enables automatic manure removal multiple times daily, keeping floors dry. This can reduce ammonia concentration in the barn by 30%-50%, significantly improving air quality and reducing animal respiratory diseases.
Q:How often do the wire rope and scraper blade typically need replacement?
A:Service life depends on usage frequency and maintenance. High-quality wire ropes can last 2-3 years under normal use. HDPE scraper blades are more wear-resistant, typically requiring replacement every 3-5 years. Regular inspection for tension and wear is key.
Q:Can system failure cause gutter blockage? How is this prevented?
A:The system is designed with travel limit switches and overload protection,which automatically stops and alarms upon encountering an obstruction,preventing damage and blockage.Regularly clearing debris from the tracks and maintaining proper lubrication for the motor reducer is essential.
Q:Is the system suitable for retrofitting older pig barns?
A:Yes. However, it's crucial to ensure the manure gutter dimensions (width, depth, slope) meet the equipment's requirements, and the gutter walls are smooth and sturdy. A professional installation team will conduct a site assessment and provide a retrofit plan.
Q:What is the maximum gutter length a single scraper system can control?
A:The maximum effective stroke for a single system is typically no more than 150 meters. For longer distances, installing segmented systems with multiple independent drive units is recommended to ensure pulling force and operational reliability.
Q:Besides pig farms, can it be used in other livestock operations?
A:Yes. It is widely used for alley cleaning in dairy cow barns and longitudinal gutter cleaning in layer houses, among other scenarios. It is fundamental equipment for automated manure collection in large-scale livestock farms.
