In designing the Sheep Auto Drafter, Gallagher have continued their tradition of
creating products which are functional, practical, easy to use, innovative, and in
tune with the needs of the rural market. The use of a ruggedized composite as
the main construction material is a breakthrough innovation in stock handling
equipment design which comes with a wide range of benefits.
What is the Sheep Auto Drafter?
The Sheep Auto Drafter is a sheep handling unit containing an integrated
weighing platform which will connect with a variety of brands of electronic
scales. Pneumatically operated gates at either end of the auto drafter allow stock
in and out. These can either be controlled automatically, by setting up some
conditions in the scales, or manually by the stock handler.
Each side panel contains antennae to allow reading of Electronic ID (EID).
The sorting unit links with the Sheep Auto Drafter to automatically draft stock.
The conditions for drafting are set up in the scale indicator attached to the Sheep
Auto Drafter. Drafting can also be controlled manually by the operator. An extra
sorting unit can be linked end to end to enable up to 5 way drafting.
The Sheep Auto Drafter and sorting unit have both been constructed from
composite materials. They are lightweight, making them easy to transport and
set up, extremely durable, and because of the forgiving nature of composite they
are safe for you and your stock.
When the Sheep Auto Drafter is combined with the sorting unit you can carry out
a range of activities including: automatic Electronic ID (EID) reading, weighing
and drafting.
The Sheep Auto Drafter can be operated from a distance using a remote control.
