Hygiene is paramount in the world of dairy farming. Clean barn floors not only contribute to the well-being of cows but also ensure optimal milk production. Enter the Lely Discovery 120 Collector, a manure robot designed to transform the way barns are cleaned.
Unlike traditional methods that involve scraping manure around the barn, the Lely Discovery 120 Collector takes a different approach. This innovative machine collects manure rather than spreading it, resulting in a cleaner floor and happier cows. No longer do cows have to contend with standing in manure up to their dew claws, thanks to this advanced technology.
Lely, a pioneer in robotic solutions for dairy farming, has developed the Discovery 120 Collector to meet the growing demand for optimum hygiene in cow housing. Equipped with robot technology, this mobile barn cleaner offers flexibility and thoroughness, ensuring that barn floors are kept impeccably clean. This not only enhances cow comfort but also promotes optimal hygiene standards.
The Discovery 120 Collector operates by collecting manure and releasing it above a dumping location. Utilizing water to thin the manure and a vacuum pump to collect the slurry in a manure tank, this machine efficiently tackles the task at hand. Water is sprayed from both the front and back of the unit, with front spraying aiding in better manure intake and rear spraying ensuring a wet floor for improved grip. The water is stored independently in two water bags within the manure tank, allowing for efficient utilization of space as the tank fills up.
What sets the Lely Discovery 120 Collector apart is its intelligent navigation system. Equipped with built-in sensors, this robot navigates autonomously without the need for cables or external devices. This ensures seamless operation and precise cleaning performance.
The Lely Discovery 120 Collector is set to revolutionize barn cleaning practices. Initially available in Benelux, France, Germany, and Switzerland from January 2017, this cutting-edge device will later be rolled out to other countries. With its innovative design and advanced features, the Discovery 120 Collector promises to elevate hygiene standards in dairy farming and enhance the well-being of cows worldwide.
