Upon popular demand, renowned leader in high-quality industrial washdown equipment, SuperKlean has designed a new dairy nozzle that supports sustainable dairy practices and helps maintain optimal udder health

To ensure the health and wellbeing of dairy cows, pre-treatment of dairy cow’s teats and udder, as well as special post treatments are a mandatory requirement. These treatments are carried out to affirm that cows are free from mastitis and other infections. Moreover, with outbreaks of Avian Flu spreading across several regions, the need for a teat and udder ‘touchless’ teat spraying system has become more apparent.

SuperKlean has been providing world-class industrial nozzles to some of the largest food, beverage and pharmaceutical companies for more than 34 years. Recently, the company came up with a new precision dairy nozzle that has gained widespread popularity among dairymen.

SuperKlean’s new dairy nozzle features, a 90 degree applicator, high-precision stainless steel construction and replaceable spray tip, with a special hook for hanging and fast retrieval. Spare parts are available to extend the life of this nozzle, with immediate delivery. The nozzle is available in either dark blue or red options for pre- and post-dip applications, ensuring safe and easy identification and application of each dip type.

SuperKlean’s special-built teat-spraying applicator wand helps reduce pathogen spread through a combination of easy, targeted cleaning and a faster, less-wasteful chemical spraying solution. Its stainless steel build ensures durability, with the ability to withstand thousands of daily sprays and wear while consistently delivering high-quality performance.

Giordano unveiled the HatchCargoSystem – ProLife (HCS ProLife) — a gamechanger in the early feeding phase of day-old-chicken — at last month's Eurotier Exhibition that took place in Hannover, Germany

The HCS ProLife is a unique sy stem that provides day-old chicken with fresh drinking water and feed inside the hatchery and during road transport. In addition to these internal drinking gutters, the trays are also equipped with feeding gutters, with both drinking and eating being positioned on either sides of the tray, providing maximum access to chicks.

Customers who wish to hatch the day-old-chicken will be provided with a smart tray that can be placed alternately between the crates and offers enough space for 74 hatching eggs. Having a unique framework, these trays allow the day-old-chicks to easily find their way onto the underlying crate immediately after hatching, where they have direct access to fresh drinking water and feed. The tray design allows the fresh drinking water to overflow from the above crate to the one below the tray, all the while ensuring a calm flow down and zero splashing.

Extensive testing which has been carried out on the system has shown that the water quality remains within all current standards, right down up to and including the last crate. The system can be used in all existing incubators with very minor adjustments, allowing customer expectations to be met, while also keeping law and legistlations costs low.
