Livestock building manure gutter base is made from cast concrete sections with drain channels and raised edges to support slatted floor

摘要

The gutter base (10), designed to go beneath a slatted floor and remove manure by a water-assisted gravity flow, consists of a core module (10c) of cast concrete with one or more channels (130) and at least one raised side (10a, 10b) for supporting the floor. Each core module is prefabricated in one piece with a smooth mould-hardened surface. The ends of the modules are laid on sole plates, and seals are fitted between all components that are in contact with the manure, which can be discharged by an automatic flushing system into a main drainage channel.
