I nvesting in a system that will effectively disinfect wheels and footwear will be cost effective long term by helping to prevent disease in pig , poultry , cattle / dairy farms and many other facilities .
“ For any farmer looking for an easy way to improve biosecurity , the ‘ Agriwash ’ systems have many features to benefit any environment ” Says Ian Jolly , Managing Director for Agriwash “ Whether looking for a robust station for effectively disinfecting boots around the farm or are looking to ensure any vehicles entering the farm are appropriately biosecure .”
Vehicles visiting farms are high biosecurity risks due to their nature of driving from farm to farm where the disease status of the previous farm is often unknown .
The Rhino Agriwash ® Defender is an automatically activated drive-through vehicle disinfecting system which can be inset into the ground or have above ground installation .
The Defender activates automatically upon a vehicle passing the entry sensor . It benefits from strategically positioned nozzles on four vertical spray bars positioned at the corners of the unit and horizontal spray bars located in the platform base . These ensure effective coverage of the vehicles ’ tyres , wheels , wheel arches and under carriage . The pump delivers up to three bar pressure at the nozzle , ensuring consistent coverage regardless of weather conditions or the remote nature of the location . The spray cycle is adjustable to suit the needs of an individual site . Overspray is minimised by virtue of the heavy duty PVC side screens that can be easily removed if relocating the system .
The waste water collects in the shallow wash platform which is fitted with an overflow port which can then be emptied .
The advanced dosing unit supplied with the Rhino Agriwash ® Defender has been selected for its long-term accuracy and consistency with adjustable dosing of commonly used disinfectants .
The Agriwash boot cleaning and disinfectant unit is a must for any working farm by reducing distribution of harmful materials to livestock housing though foot traffic .
The unit provides three fixed brushes and one removable hand brush with water and disinfectant connections , integrated hand grips and a sump for collection and disposal of water waste making it effortless and low maintenance while giving a thorough sterilisation .
