Connect up the pressure washer hose, open the water tap and press the start button — and CleanBuddy 4.0, with its extendable, rotating arm gets to work cleaning the barn. You don’t need to teach it where everything is, as a unique radar system will detect any obstacles. But can it really be that simple? Can the new robot washer reduce the cleaning burden on pig farms? And how much will it cost?
Always available
Farm staff, family member or even cleaning contractors who’ll happily wash pig pens are becoming an increasingly rare commodity. The new easy-to-use robotic washer certainly comes at the right time for many businesses.
Thanks to the standard soaking function and timer, the washing robot can fit in well with the day-to-day jobs on the farm. For example, if the CleanBuddy starts soaking the pens in the evening and continues pressure washing at 4:00am, the pen will still be wet when the farmer arrives in the morning… so corners that aren’t clean enough can then be washed with minimal effort.
