Rubber flooring
Rubber flooring
High-quality rubber floors are made using the most up-to-date technologies. They are long-lasting and durable, easy to install, they have great mechanical properties and correspond to all the requirements of veterinary medicine and cattle housing technologies. The use of rubber floors in barns contributes to the natural behavior of animals, preservation of cattle health, as well as the increase of their performance.
AGRICOW manufactures stall mats and flooring for barns thanks to great investments in equipment, molds and special software, which makes AGRICOW one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of stall flooring in the world. The production process is constantly controlled and improved.
These mats are perfectly suitable for application in passages, milking parlors, and corridors or in small graders. They are especially useful in areas where the cows spend most of their time, as the reduce pressure on the hoofs and legs.
AGRICOW rubber mats feature a non-slippery surface, which ensures good friction during movement and provides maximum traction.
Research has shown that cows walk faster and slip less on rubber floors. 70% of cows that walk on concrete floors slip at least once, but only 20% clip while walking on AGRICOW rubber mats. Rubber mats ensure a drier and cleaner environment in the barn, improve hoof condition and are easily installed in any spot. In addition to the excellent technical characteristics and fulfillment of farmers’ requirements, rubber mats help reduce the number of accidents and veterinary expenses.
Rubber mat models:
- Mats with 4 straight edges or “jigsaw puzzle” edges;
- Adaptable to any type of slatted floors;
- All models also available with spikes.
AGRICOW rubber mats have passed the Fokus Test 08-376 friction and slippery resistance trials, and were deemed one of the best examples in their class. For two of the products, the following tests were carried out:
- Friction resistance;
- Slipping resistance.
The AGRICOW rubber mats have passed friction tests using abrasive paper under the pressure of 500 N with a total area of 61,5 cm2. Abrasion depth after 20 000 revolutions in both directions was 3,2 mm or 17% of the total thickness. A total of 8,7 g of material was removed. The result: good friction resistance.
With the help of special instruments, slipping resistance was simulated in dry and wet conditions. The speed was 20 mm/s. The trial showed a good resistance to slipping on both dry rubber and a wet surface. The friction coefficient exceeded the minimal threshold of 0,45 μ. The result: good slipping resistance.
Further advantages of using AGRICOW rubber mats:
- Improved traction;
- Fewer falls and slips;
- Fewer injuries while falling.
Not all mats are the same. There are cheaper variants, but low costs lead to a shorter life span. They are usually made of rubber of foam rubber, they crumble, are easily compressed, damaged and lose their softness. The problem of these mats is that they are made from not sufficiently vulcanized rubber. The manufacturing process is characterized by low quality and lower flexibility. AGRICOW rubber mats are developed and manufactured in order to provide the highest level of animal comfort and the highest longevity. They are easy to install and maintain.
