The FlyPit is a robot that automatically distributes different types of bedding into your barn (cubicles or straw area). Regular bedding provides a dry area to lie and improves hygiene in the pens.
The health of the animals can be improved by customising the requirements for every animal in each pen. The only work required is to fill the port with round or square bales, which are then automatically chopped using a patented chopping system and straw screen.
The straw is fed to the Flypit 2in1 on a conveyor belt, or directly from the port, and it starts its circuit. It spreads fresh straw several times a day, reducing the amount of straw needed by up to 50% while improving the hygiene of the pens. The FlyPit can also be used for different type of bedding, such as seperated slurry, fermentation residues, wood chips , etc.
No need to clean the ports prior to filling. a scraper floor transports the feed to the cutter machine and then to the shuttle eco. Old feed is emptied out first.
By it’s own concept, the flypit reduces the spreading of dust. In option you can add an extraction dust system.

Frequently Asked Questions
FlyPit
1️⃣ General Questions
1.What is the FlyPit?
FlyPit is an automated bedding robot designed to distribute litter in cubicles or bedded areas of your building. It improves animal hygiene and comfort by keeping bedding clean, dry, and evenly spread, promoting hoof health and reducing animal stress.
2.How does the FlyPit work?
FlyPit is fed with bulk or baled bedding. Its shredding and sifting system automatically distributes bedding along the programmed path, in uniform quantities according to herd needs. The farmer can set priority areas and distribution frequencies.
3.What types of bedding can be used?
FlyPit can use different suitable beddings such as straw, wood chips, separated manure residues, or other granular materials. It maximizes animal comfort while optimizing material usage.
4.What are the main benefits of FlyPit?
• Reduced labor needed for bedding distribution.
• Optimized consumption and material savings up to 50%.
• Even distribution across all cubicles.
• Improved hygiene and animal comfort.
2️⃣ Performance and Results
5.Does FlyPit improve animal comfort and hygiene?
Yes, by keeping resting surfaces clean and dry, FlyPit limits bacterial growth and moisture, promoting hoof health, reducing infections, and providing a more comfortable environment for animals.
6.Can the amount of bedding distributed be programmed?
Yes, FlyPit allows precise adjustment of bedding per cycle. This adapts volume according to cubicle type, herd size, and occupancy density, optimizing comfort and material usage.
7.How does FlyPit reduce bedding consumption?
Through precise shredding and sifting, bedding is evenly and efficiently distributed. This reduces material use while ensuring cubicle comfort and cleanliness.
8.Does FlyPit reduce manual labor?
Yes, the robot automates most bedding distribution tasks, freeing the farmer’s time and reducing the strain of repetitive manual work.
9.Does FlyPit support animal health and cubicle durability?
