ABSTRACT:
A machine for cleaning a grate over dairy barn manure troughs uses a rotating cylindrical brush with dense, fibrous, resilient bristles to scrub manure from the grate. The cylindrical brush is mounted in a housing which rides on a pair of wheels. The cleaner is moved forward and backward by the contact of the rotating brush through the barn floor. An electric motor drives the brush through a chain drive. A pair of flexible protective flaps mounted in front and behind the rotating brush prevent splashing of manure. Water nozzles are mounted on the front end and rear end of the machine for spraying the grate. A nozzle is also mounted inside of the housing for spraying the brush as it rotates. A handle extends from the rear of the machine and is offset to the walkway side wall of the machine to keep the operator away from kicking animals. The animal stall side wall of the machine is strengthened to withstand kicks.
