Pressure Cleaners

Meier-Brakenberg has been farming pigs for generations. We know exactly how much time it takes to clean and disinfect stables efficiently and thoroughly when your equipment does not suffice your needs at a 100 %. We started developing our own constructions because the equipment which had been available on the market at that time did not meet our requirements. As a result of these considerations we can now present first-class high-pressure cleaners - true specialists for agriculture and subcontractors - and other highly professional equipment for industry and municipal technology.

Animal Scales

To consequently optimize your livestock breeding it is indispensable to carry out check weighing which leads to important findings to increase revenues. Animal weighing machines of Meier-Brakenberg provide you with exact data on weight increases and allow effective control of animals and performance. You will always be informed about the optimum sales weight and therefore the ideal date of sale. We have developed mobile and stationary multi-purpose scales for precise weighing of moving animals. Our product range includes mobile scales for individual animals, stationary low-floor scales and special constructions such as the large size bull weighing machine at Hamburg harbour, a special construction with selection gate which is used at Hamburg harbour to weigh bulls for export.

Animal welfare

When animals feel good, earnings grow. What can we do to offer long-lasting activities to animals kept indoors? The solution is our Porky's Fun Box. It is an attractive toy and provides well dosed roughage feed at the same time. Our nibbling pipe keeps animals busy with organic materials in a sustainable and inexpensive way. It replaces plastic toys by wooden slats. Our scrubbing wall has been specially developed for animal welfare and is already in use at many farms where measures in accordance with the Initiative Tierwohl are implemented.

Cooling of stables. Efficient cooling improves performance.

Animals feel most comfortable inside cool stables.

Also animals have an individual comfort temperature level and that is one target to be achieved. Exemplarily, it became apparent with dairy cattle that the animals breathe calmer, eat more and prolong rumination what increases milk yields significantly

With pigs a good sty climate avoids loss of performance. High dust binding exerts positive influence on the respiratory organs. Vitality of pigs improves as well as their utilization of feed. Moreover, a species-appropriate climate helps to reduce aggressions.

The principle of spray cooling.

Spray cooling stands for atomization of water by using nozzles at high or low pressure. The water mist evaporates immediately. It withdraws thermal power from the air and cools it down. This cooling effect allows the reduction of ventilation rates, thus saving energy.

Three cooling systems that suit all needs.

Low-pressure cooling systems for pigs are based on our stationary soaking unit. When installing the combined soaking and cooling nozzles the existing pipe system becomes a cooling system. Fine water mist is sprayed into the air at a pressure of 3.5 to 6 bar. Doing so you can achieve temperature reductions of several degrees Celsius. Alternatively it is possible to install a separate cooling nozzle branch.

Low-pressure cooling for dairy cattle is based on a system of PVC pipes, cooling nozzles and a cooling automat which is very easy to install. A PVC pipe must be installed on top of the walkway. Installation of atomizing nozzles is planned in a way to moisten only walkways and to keep resting areas dry. Each unit is customized and perfectly tailored to the local conditions of each stable.

In contrast to our low-pressure cooling unit (3.5 to 6 bar) our high-pressure cooling system for pigsties and poultry houses operates with 70 bar and can also be used for humidification purposes. During heating periods and after entry of young animals the system is used to increase air humidity. During fattening periods the units serves dust binding purposes.
