Hoof-Trimming with wireless control!

/in , ,

Cow care along with maximizing nutrition plays a crucial role in achieving milk production targets. One of the things in cow care is the hoof-trimming. Experience shows that hoof-trimming has positive effects on the milk production.

The foot care of the cow known as hoof-trimming is done with a hoof-trimming crusher. Tyro Remotes has played an important role in the revolutionary development of controlling these crushers with a radio remote control. The wireless radio remote provides the hoof-trimmer all the functions on his fingertips.

Outsourcing the hoof-trimming

Due to the expansion of the livestock, farmers are increasingly outsourcing some activities and hoof-trimming is one such activity. It is done by a full-time hoof-trimmer.

Efficiency and comfort

As the hoof-trimmer has a specialized client base with multiple farms, it is of crucial importance that he has an effectively working crusher. A crusher with a remote control is very efficient and effective in its use. The hoof-trimming crusher can be adjusted as required in order to take care of the Cow comfort. Such hydraulically driven functions can be done within minutes by using a Pyxis radio remote.

Cleaning with a high pressure cleaner

Also, in this application the sturdiness and high moisture-resistance of the Tyro radio remotes plays an important role as the machine should remain suitable for cleaning using jetting equipment. Thus, a perfect application for 100% waterproof Aquarius receiver.

Remote control for chicken feeding lines

/in , , ,

As chickens age, feeding lines need to be adjusted to prevent excess spillage. Feed consumption needs to be monitored to detect problems with the feeding lines’ operation. One of our customers uses a remote control set, Cetus/Norma, to manage this.

The customer manages 18 drinking lines and 9 feeding lines at a poultry farm which otherwise would be a very labour-intensive process.

Time saver

Tyro’s remote control set adjusts these feeding and drinking lines, which saves the farm owner a lot of time. As the farm owner has other things to do, such as tillage, this saved time is crucial for his business.

High range

The system’s high range ensures that the transmitter can always reach the controller and function without problems.

Display with menu

The entire complex consists of three identical halls. In each hall, there is a Norma controller which is controlled by the Cetus transmitter. The owner uses the ‘menu-button’ to switch through the different halls. The bright LCD display informs the user about the current menu/hall being managed by him.

Industrial remote controls for wine pumps – Winery

/in , ,

You may think wine is just wine and has been for centuries. In the age of technological advancements, wineries are not left behind.

Today, we’re focusing on a game-changer in wine production – using industrial remote-control systems to operate wine pumps.
This innovation enhances efficiency, reduces oxygenation, and improves the quality of your favorite wines.

Understanding Industrial Remote Control Systems

To better understand the impact of industrial remote control systems in wineries, let’s first understand what they are and how they work.

What is a wine pump?

A wine pump is a versatile industrial pump, often mobile, used in wineries for a variety of different tasks in and around wineries:

Render of a wine pump

  • To gently transport grapes without breaking them.
  • To (over)pump must, the freshly pressed but not yet fermented juice of grapes.
  • To transport wine from tanks towards storage, cooling, blending, and bottling.
  • Pumping out sediment remaining in the tanks.

The wine pump is a versatile compact machine that ensures that the quality of the wine remains as good as possible. Therefore, the pumps must meet high standards with unique requirements so that the grapes and liquids do not shake and pulsate too much during pumping (transport). All of this will affect the quality of the wine.

How does it work?

Wine pumps use a wireless transmitter to remotely operate the pumps used in wine production. The system works through radio frequency, which allows for seamless communication between the transmitter and receiver.

With this technology, operators can start, stop, and adjust the speed of pumps from a safe distance. This eliminates the need for manual operation, reducing the risks associated with exposure to chemicals and other hazards in the winery.

Reducing Oxygenation

One of the most significant challenges in wine production is oxygen exposure. When wines are exposed to oxygen, they can develop undesirable flavors and aromas. To prevent this, wineries must minimize the contact between wine and air during production.

Industrial remote control systems play a crucial role in reducing oxygen exposure. By being able to remotely operate pumps, operators can adjust speeds as needed to maintain constant levels of flow. This ensures minimal agitation of the wine, which reduces the risk of oxygenation. This feature ensures your wine maintains its freshness, flavor, and color, offering a superior tasting experience.

Enhancing Efficiency

The use of industrial remote control systems in wineries has significantly improved efficiency. With traditional methods, operators had to physically move from one pump to another to monitor and adjust their speeds. This process was time-consuming and often led to delays in production.

With remote control systems, operators can now control multiple pumps simultaneously, making the process faster and more streamlined. This not only saves time but also reduces labor costs for wineries.

Wireless Anti-Two Block Switch Systems for Traditional ATB

/in , , , , , ,

This Wireless ATB is designed to be a simple cost-effective replacement for traditional ATB systems.

With a quick installation, it is an easy way to remove the headaches associated with the wires, rusted contact, and loose springs of traditional ATB systems.

This wireless system eliminates both the cable reel and the anti-two block switch and the headaches associated with them. The self-contained switch is immune to mechanical failures and water damage since both the switch and the receiver are designed with solid state components which are fully encapsulated; the system is designed to be as hassle-free as possible. There’s no need to worry about the potential for a cable being broken by branches or other objects and no more need for a cable reel.

This is also a perfect solution to eliminate the corrosion factor in the reel contacts and their loose springs. Installation is as simple as mounting the wireless switch at the boom tip and installing the receiver at the base of the boom. This simple installation allows OEMs to reduce manufacturing costs by removing brackets, wire guides, and the associated labor.
