The Alfco Rope Slurry Scraper cleans cubicle and feed passages with the utmost efficiency, safely, quietly and economically. It can be operated manually or automatically at pre-programmed intervals.

Key Feature

The system can clean feed passages of various widths and lengths – up to 120 metres. It is operated using two winches mounted at one end of the cubicle house. The winches operate alternatively using a high quality and animal friendly dynema rope which moves the floating scraper blades to deliver excellent cleaning and hygiene results.

Key Benefits

Easy operation:
Easily programmed using the control panel, with user-friendly keypad. The system has three power settings (Motor start-up, normal running power and cow down protection).

Animal safety:
If an animal is detected by the sensors to be lying in the passage, the scraper will reverse and stop, waiting for one minute before reactivating. If it detects an animal lying on the next attempt, it will reverse and shut down, remaining stationary until restarted manually by the operator.

Long-life:
Constructed using galvanised steel, stainless steel, acetal pulley and dynema rope for low maintenance, high durability and long life. On start-up, the invertor gives the motor 30 seconds to power up to maximum speed before work begins, maximising the life of the gearbox and rope.
