The LELY JUNO feed pusher: benefits from constant feed availability with less labour.
Frequent feeding results in an increased feed intake and higher milk production. In addition, frequent feeding has a positive effect on the cow's health. However, labour is often a limiting factor and that is why feed pushing is often limited to three times a day. The Lely Juno feedpusher offers you the ultimate solution.
Based on the proven technique of the Lely Discovery mobile barn cleaner, the Lely Juno drives automatically over the feeding alley by following the feeding fence. It pushes the feed towards the fence as often as required without disturbing the cows. The Lely Juno feed pusher will save you a lot of valuable time and give you the flexibility and freedom to devote your energy to other tasks, knowing all the time that your cows are being taken care of in the best way possible.
How does it work?
The Lely Juno is driven by two wheels and supported by a third wheel. The built-in ultrasound sensor ensures that the feed pusher follows the feeding fence at pre-determined distances. The farmer programmes these distances using the E-link, starting at a wide distance to the fence and gradually approaching.
A rotatable surface, at the lower part of the Lely Juno, pushes the feed towards the feeding fence while the vehicle moves in a straight line along the feeding alley.
The main frame of the unit is formed by a heavy concrete block that gives the feed pusher the required mass to push the forage over the set distance.
The Lely Juno features an inductive device sensor, which ensures the unit follows the pre-programmed routes accurately.
A special feature has been designed on the feed pusher; the collision detector. This ensures the feed pusher stops immediately if it encounters an obstacle.
The Lely Juno is suitable for all level and paved feeding alleys, can follow different types of feeding fences and is able to push feed piles as high as 75 cm.
