The TailWell Titanium Trimmer
facilitates the tedious work of cow tail hair cutting in dairy cows. Twice
yearly removal of feces and faeces contaminated with feces and urine allows
optimum hygiene of the livestock, the milk and the milker. Principle: Rotate an
outer blade around an inner - no risk of injury to animals and humans.
The Tailwell power trimmer is secured by way of the chuck shank
into any suitable cordless drill of 14 volts or better, and operating at approx
1200-1750rpm. Tailwell is quiet in use, with a smooth fast cutting action.
Trimming takes only 3 or 4 seconds per tail, and is easily accomplished during
milking. The outer blade oscillates over a stationary inner blade, so there is
no risk of injury to the cow. Even dirty dag-ends feed smoothly over the
trimmer. Pre-cutting the tail’s switch is not necessary. This is a sturdy
precision tool that will withstand considerable use. A neck strap is
incorporated so the device can be hands-free between cows.
Tailwell Titanium Trimmer has a titanium-nitride (TiN)-coated cutter set. (Gold coloured.) This should be good for 5,000-6,000 clean (non-sand-contaminated) tails, or up to 3,000 sand contaminated tails. The TITANIUM cutter set can not be sharpened. (In fact attempting sharpening will be counter productive.)
Kit includes trimmer unit, lubrication bottle, 2
replacement bearings and screwdriver. Horning paste not included.
Tension
must be checked regularly, and lubrication used regularly. Replacement
titanium-coated cutter sets are sold separately.
