Imetec Manure Loading System - Application Effects on Different Farms

The Imetec manure removal machine's original 450mm-wide modular loading system is a core technology developed by Tai'an Imetec Machinery to address manure removal challenges on various farms. Equipped with three interchangeable modules (shovel, ice breaker, and brush), combined with flexible shovels and durable transport chains, it is suitable for large dairy farms, beef farms, sheep farms, piggeries, and small family farms. It can effectively handle any type of manure: dry and hard, sticky, frozen, and fine, meeting the basic needs of efficient manure removal, floor protection, and labor savings. Its stable operation and outstanding application results have made it the preferred equipment for manure removal on various pastures.

Large dairy farms are one of the primary applications for the Imetec loading system, whose primary purpose is to handle semi-dry manure with bedding (60%-70% moisture content). This type of manure is mixed with bedding such as sawdust and straw, making it difficult to clean and easily damaging the barn floor. The flexible paddles of the Imetec loading system adhere precisely to the floor, do not scratch expensive rubber mats, and do not leave marks on cement floors, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and hoof diseases in cattle. In winter, temperatures in the pastures of northern China are extremely low, and manure easily freezes. By switching to the ice-breaker module, frozen manure can be easily broken up at temperatures as low as -15°C, ensuring uninterrupted manure removal. Test results show that on a dairy farm with 1,000 cows, one person,

The operator of a 4WD D-Series model equipped with this loading system can complete the entire manure removal job in 2 hours, reducing the ammonia concentration in the barn by 40%, effectively reducing the incidence of respiratory diseases and claw diseases in cattle, and indirectly increasing milk production by 2%-5%. It is recommended to combine with the ice breaker/shovel module and stainless steel hopper to further improve corrosion resistance and operating efficiency.

Beef farm manure is typically hard and thick (40%-50% moisture content), reaching a layer thickness of 5-10 cm and containing a large amount of feed residue. This places high demands on the capacity and durability of the loading system. The Imetec loading system boasts high capacity and utilizes high-strength, high-strength, mine-grade chains that are wear-resistant and durable, meeting the demands of intensive operation with 3-4 shifts per day. It eliminates jamming and residue during operation, completely eliminating the problem of incomplete transportation of traditional manure removal equipment. One C-Series model with all-wheel drive equipped with this loading system can replace five workers, significantly reducing labor costs and increasing manure removal efficiency, shortening the incidence of beef hoof disease by 60% and reducing the growing period by 3-5 days, bringing significant economic benefits to the farm. Recommended for combination with the blade module for adaptation to the efficient transport of dry and solid manure.

Large sheep farm barns are typically low and narrow, with a height of ≤2.2 m and an aisle width of only 1.8-2.0 m. Furthermore, sheep manure is fine and dry (30%-40% moisture content), highly dispersible, and difficult to collect. The Imetec A-Series low-profile side-loading machine has a passage height of only 1.9 m and can rotate 360° on the spot, easily maneuvering through narrow barn aisles without taking up unnecessary space. The loading system is equipped with a brush module that accurately collects fine sheep manure with a collection efficiency of 99%, preventing blockage of slatted floors. At the same time, the noise level during operation is ≤75 dB, which does not interfere with sheep activity, reducing stress in sheep and preventing weight gain reduction caused by stress. On a sheep farm with 2,000 sheep, one person can complete the entire manure removal job in 1.5 hours, significantly exceeding manual removal efficiency. It is recommended to combine it with a brush module and a reverse view system for increased safety and ease of operation.
