Robotic Scraper for non slatted floor in Cubicle shed.

Hi,

Does anyone know if these exist? We have a channel runs across the centre of the building, currently scraping with tractor.

How long is your building?

I was told by these
www.dpnutrition.co.uk/product.php?product=23 that the Joz will do a 70' run without slats.

Do you not want to install rope or chain scrapers?

eulb the building is 220 so with channel across the centre would make it 110.

Fergieman getting scrapers to pull to the center of the building is not ideal, that will mean there stuck in the central walkway or at the entrance/exit.

I would say there is a market for a heavier built robot scraper,something that could travel 150' or so,it wouldn't matter if it had its own engine to power it.

Probably too much for a robotic scraper to handle. Rope scrapers might be the way to go. If set up right there would only be a pulley at the shed exit, so not really much in the way.

With two scraper units on the one rope they could go every hour and one would be scraping (outside of shed to middle) while the other is reversing (middle of shed to outside).

Not sure who makes them but I'v seen some with nylon type ropes and the farmer says they are unbreakable with the forklift bucket.

all the slurry needs to go out of the middle though to get into lagoon, cant go out of either end.

That's why you'd need 2 blades, one coming from the top of shed to the middle and one coming bottom of shed to middle. Both on the same rope. They'd only run half the length of the shed and one would be reversing while the other is scraping.

That means there would be a scraper in the central cross passage all the time, how do you bed the cubicles with ag dispenser?
