Farmers milking the advantages of Verderflex Peristaltic Pumps
02/11/2012 Verderflex
Friday, 2 November 2012The hoofcount footbath counts the cows through the bath and refreshes the water and chemical after a preset number of cows.
The optimum for most baths is between 150 - 200 cows. After this point the concentration of faeces and chemical within the water seriously deteriorates the effectiveness of the footbath.
Each cycle of the hoofcount from emptying to refilling takes up to 3 minutes with a pumped water supply, enabling the smooth flow of cow traffic.
Chemical is dosed via the M1500 peristaltic pumps and a further blast of water mixes the chemical thoroughly.
