How to Clean Feed Bunks by Hand
As well as being able to clean feed-bunks with mechanical sweepers, many smaller operations and farmers require cheaper cleaning options for their troughs. To this end we offer a range of hand brooms and brushes that may suit your needs.
These include our MK18 Poly Dozer (maxiclean) brooms.
These extra tough, Australian Made brooms with fully welded handle fittings have often been found to work well. We have a full range of 14” (350mm), 18” (450mm) and 24” (600mm) inch brooms and handles Heavy Duty push broom page) so depending on the size of the trough one of these off the shelf options may work well.
Trough Brooms both Curved, Square nose and hand-held scrubbing brushes are also suitable options for trough cleaning.
What are the best brushes for mechanical bunk sweeps
QRB’s Super Premium Quality Brush Sections
The “QRB” range, a 100% Australian made brush segment appear to be the best. Indeed, Australian Feedlots have determined this fact in our minds, as no matter the available options, the QRB range has always been the “go to” choice for cleaning feed bunks.
Indeed, with more than 20 years of servicing Feedlots Country wide, we have only ever had good feedback on these brushes.
QRB Quality
QRB quality is easily demonstrated, as they contain up to 40% more poly fill (bristle) than imported brush segments. In addition, the poly is quality controlled to ISO 9001, Australian quality standards. Therefore, the consistency of the red crimped poly (Polypropylene), used in the QRB Bunk sweep brushes is both consistent and guaranteed.
What Size Bunk Sweep Brushes are available
There are 5 common sizes of QRB brushes used in Feedlots, however with the advent of new and 1 off Bunk sweeps, other sizes are available on request.
Here are the 5 most commonly used brush segments:
20" x 5" (Overall Diameter is 508mm x 130mm Internal Diameter, Pin Drive) SUPER Premium Poly Segment
20" x 1 1/2" (Overall Diameter 508mm x 40mm Square Drive) SUPER Premium Poly Segment
