ALFCO Hydraulic scrapers
The Alfco Slurry Scraper will scrape cubicle and feed passages of various widths. Up to six passages can be operated on one powerpack and control panel.
One Rambox is installed at the end of each passage and a double acting ram moves the central draw bar back and forth. The scraper is fitted with a mechanism that moves it forward with each stroke. At the end of the track the scraper automatically reverses to its parking position, where a switch turns off the hydraulic oil supply. Power Unit
- Â Special Heavy Duty hydraulic pump with high efficiency low noise level
- Custom Made hydraulic oil filter, to reduce any dirt in the oil and to increase the life of the hydraulic system
- Soft turning changeover valve gives smooth operation with no disturbance to the cows
- Easy adjustable turning pressure for individual plant control
Control Panel
- Â Manual or fully automatic operation
-  Manual operation – Each Passage can be started manually and when the scraper completes its cycle it returns to the home position and parks.
- Automatic operation – Each passage will start automatically at preselected intervals using a 24hr clock and when the scraper completes its cycle it returns to the home position and parks.

ALFCO Rope Scraper
Safe, quiet and economical scraper system designed to clean efficiently cubicle and feed passages of various widths and lengths
The system operates using two winches mounted at one end of the cubicle house The winches operate alternatively using a high quality dynema rope to move the scraper blades up and down the passages. Can clean up to 120 metres.
Control Panel
- Can be easily programmed using our user-friendly keypad.
- Works manually or can be set to come on automatically at present intervals.
- If it detects an animal lying on the passage it will reverse and stop. It will then go forward again after 1 min.
- If it detects an animal again it will reverse and shut down until it is manually restarted
- Three power settings (1. For Motor start up, 2. Normal running power, 3. Cow down protection)
- By using the invertor, we have maximum control over our scrapers. This allows the motor 30 seconds to reach its maximum speed on start-up resulting in reduced wear on the gearbox and rope.

Drive Winches

- The sensors detect a marker placed in the rope for accurate parking.
- This is backed up with a counter that counts the number of revolutions on the winch drum.
- Programmed to gradually slow down when parking at the end of the cleaning cycle resulting in no catapult action to injure or frighten animals.
- Three motor and gearbox options depending on length of passages.
