Strong - agile - indefatigable: for perfect stall hygiene
The SRone and SRone+ moves noiselessly between the animals without causing any agitation. Quite the opposite, the cows take to it right from the start. Flat and compact, the SRone moves smoothly under gates and carries out its work without supervision. The safety switch is particularly animal-friendly; as soon as the pushing is exceeded, it stops forward movement and starts an obstacle-avoidance manoeuvre.
The SRone and SRone+ reliably ensures good barn hygiene by provision of automatic cleaning of the splattered floor. And when it comes to the bottom line, healthy animals produce more milk at less cost!
The popular SRone with lateral guidance can clean up to 8,000 square meters slatted floor per day, making it the optimum solution for efficiently cleaning out smaller barns with simple, standard walkways and few obstacles. For larger barns with up to 12,000 square meters of slatted flooring to clean each day, or if you wish to design more challenging, personalized route plans, the programmable SRone+ with multifunctional control technology is the ideal choice for reliable, intelligent hygiene management.
