SHEEP JETTING SERVICE

Spray race jetter

After careful evaluation of the systems on the market we have bought what we think is the best. THE ELECTRODIP.

Main Objectives

•To spray sheep with sufficient pressure to penetrate any length of wool, with a wash being applied to the skin and not only the outer wool.

•To spray intensively in the vital areas i.e. along the head, neck and back and around the brisket, stomach and tail, with streams running down the sides of the animal on the skin.

•To spray the sheep easily, quickly, efficiently and economically

Operation

When a sheep enters the race it activates an electronic sensor which starts the spray. Each animal is treated individually which ensures an exact application of wash to each animal. If the spray pressure falls the exit gate is automatically locked to ensure that no animal passes through the race without being adequately sprayed. Small lambs on their mothers will activate the sensor.
