Products >> Hydraulic 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.

Scraper systems have traditionally been chain, wire or rope operated. The Dairypower scraper system is hydraulically operated, which means fewer moveable parts and considerably less risk of breakdowns. Furthermore, compared to a drive system with chain, wire or rope operation with corner pulleys, the maintenance cost for a hydraulic operated system is considerably less.

Safe operation and simple functions

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.

Dairypower Scraper System

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 ongoing research and development has seen the Hydraulic System successfully installed for cattle, sheep, pig and poultry houses and sewage treatment plants. 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.

Powerpack Features

The Hydraulic Powerpack is designed for a long and trouble free life with low noise level. The Hydraulic Pump is protected by a suction and return filtration system, helping to extend the lifetime of all components. The smooth change over valve means easy operation and gentle turns that do not disturb the animals. Adjustable hydraulic pressure makes it possible to optimize each plant to actual conditions. The oil level is visible and the
level is monitored by a float switch.

Standard External Ram Box

This ram box consists of cushioned cylinder, a 24V DC Solenoid, a Magnetic Park Switch, a Glanded Junction Box and a Galvanized Checker Plate Cover.

Dimensions: 60 x 30 x 10 cm Cylinder: 45 x 25 x 500 mm

The Dairypower Lifting Slat was introduced to remove all slurry, long straw and silage from passageways. The scraper lifts the slat doors and discharges the slurry directly into the slurry tank. The scraper then returns and the slat doors automatically close.

The advantage of this system is that there are no obstacles for cows or tractors in the passageway.
