manure scraper blade Explanation: This seems to be part of the "scrape and haul" system. See the link for pictures. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 55 mins (2004-10-20 16:16:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Might also be \'edge\' instead of the whole blade.

The asker has declined this answer Comment: This is not quite what I meant. The Kotabrisskante is the edge of a slot in a hog slat panel or slotted panel and not part of manure moving equipment |
One more time ... Explanation: OK, I looked around. First, I would use manure for Kot. Dung is not used for animals in the USA at least. This abrisskante is puzzling. German is usually so precise. I could not see the things at your website. This link talks a bit about flooring. It says: Floors Dirt floors are acceptable in sunshades, open ("run-in") sheds, pens, or shelters where climate, animal use, and management intensity allow the base support to be firm, relatively dry, and easily cleaned. Surfaced floors in barns need to be relatively slip-resistant, not too abrasive to pig's feet, and resistant to wear, corrosion, moisture, and manure. Floors can be concrete, steel, or plastic. Concrete is usually preferred for larger pigs, but smaller pigs are normally housed on slatted steel or plastic flooring. An appropriate concrete finish should be provided for animal areas. Skid-resistant grooves are needed for ramps that slope more than 5 to 15 percent, for concrete breeding floors, and for other floors to prevent slipping and falling. The finish of concrete floors on which pigs walk is critical. A wood float finish with a texture similar to coarse sandpaper is acceptable. Polished steel-troweled finishes are too slippery and are unacceptable (Applegate et al., 1988). Manure-handling systems are considered to be a part of the floor design. Floor openings and gutters should be sized and spaced to prevent hoof or leg injury of pigs. Slatted floors and grates for separating pigs from their excreta are an integral part of several acceptable and desirable manure-handling systems. Other systems use mechanical scrapers or hydraulic flushing to clean the floors, gutters, or manure channels. Lagoons and below-ground manure storage should be surrounded by a security fence. Solid floors should slope 2 to 6 percent for drainage. There is nothing that I have found for this. You may have to consult your customer and just make up a descriptive term for it. Sorry I could not be more help, but manure is really just not my thing. :) Good luck. Reference: http://sanangelo.tamu.edu/ded/swine/swinecar.htm#anchor18697... |
