StepGuardian is an automated hoof dipping system that improves herd hoof health while saving time, labor and chemical costs.
Hoof treatment is improved through automated cycles that allow for timely and effective solutions while reducing chemical waste through precise dosing.
The system also reduces employee exposure to chemicals.
ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE
Programmable
The newly upgraded PLC is now much easier to use and see. It incorporates a large touch screen for improved visibility. It has inputs for external control functions. The menu guidance is simple and has a help function. The display also shows clear status information.
Stainless steel bathtub
Durable and sturdy design. The total length of the tub is 2.8 m (9 ft). This is the minimum required to achieve two hoof beats.
Patented flow, filling and discharge
BouMatic utilizes uniform flow and filling with a minimum of noise, foam and bubbles. This reduces "startle" for the cow and reduces discomfort for the cow when passing. Cow comfort is the most important thing.
Separate mixing chamber
Having a separate mixing chamber is safer for farm employees, as they can mix hands-free. It also means that mixing is consistent and uniform, with better dosage control.
Simple
There can be a single controller for up to 4 hoof baths. Installation is simple and programming is also uncomplicated.
SmartDairy or Stand Alone
The StepGuardian can be used independently or can be integrated with SmartDairy for additional data.
