Leveling the feed passage yourself
One of the most important benefits of leveling a worn feed passage is improving feed intake. An uneven feed passage can cause old feed to accumulate in certain areas. This can lead to poor feed intake among the animals, with possible weight loss, reduced growth, and suboptimal milk production. By leveling the feed passage, the feed is kept clean and evenly distributed, and all animals have the same opportunity to eat.
Farmcoat Leveling Coating is ideal for leveling, renovating, and repairing your feed passage. It also creates a very hard, impact-resistant, and durable layer. Farmcoat Leveling Coating has been specially developed to be extremely user-friendly. It is very easy to apply yourself without compromising on quality.
How long does it take to apply a feed passage coating?
Preparation is the most time-consuming part. The feed passage must first be thoroughly cleaned. After cleaning, grinding the floor may be necessary depending on the situation. Once this preparation is complete, you can start coating. The coating needs approximately 12 hours to dry/cure. The entire process of preparation, coating, and curing will take approximately one to one and a half days. After that, you can start feeding again.
In which colors is the coating available?
Our Leveling Coating is supplied as standard in RAL 7001 (grey). For orders of 150 kg or more, you can choose from any RAL color. This is specially made to order in our factory.
Does the coating contain anti-slip?
The coating provides a rough yet smooth finish. If you need additional anti-slip, or even a very coarse anti-slip surface for livestock walking areas, we can provide this.
How thick should the coating be applied?
The feed passage coating can be applied in very thick layers. Allow for up to 4 kilos per square meter. It has a leveling effect on worn surfaces.
Is it easy to apply yourself?
Farmcoat has been developed so that it is still easy for laypeople/inexperienced users to apply. With every order, we include a detailed manual as standard, clearly describing how to apply the coating in step-by-step instructions. We also provide various instructional videos.
What accessories do I need?
We offer a Farmcoat Application Kit on our website. This kit contains all the materials you need for coating, such as rollers, mixing sticks, brackets, ADP cleaners, etc.
