The MS Avicleaner
Congratulations on the purchase of your MS Avicleaner. This machine can be used to clean feed and
drinking lines in poultry farms. Parts are cleaned (after proper pre-treatment) by spraying (hot) water under
high pressure through an assembly of nozzles and sprayers over the respective feeding or drinking line.
During the cleaning process, the vehicle is manually operated and the driver drives the vehicle along the
feeding or drinking line. The feeding or drinking line is now located in the cleaning module, which has an
opening at the front and back so that the vehicle can move in a forward and backward direction without
damaging the feeding or drinking line.
The machine is driven by and 4-stroke Honda internal combustion engine (gasoline) that powers a hydraulic
circuit. The machine has two tracks, each of which has its own hydraulic motor and control valve. Thus,
direction of rotation and speed can be controlled separately for both tracks and the operator can
manoeuver very precisely. The cleaning module is individually adjustable in height. This has made the
insertion and removal of the feeding or drinking line more user-friendly, and the height of the module can
be adjusted during the cleaning process according to the height of the feeding or drinking line. The machine
has two operating modes: the cleaning mode for feeding lines ("pans") or drinking lines ("nipples"). The
operating modes can be selected manually and should be determined and matched to the particular line
before cleaning begins. This is always the end user's responsibility.
The construction of the tracked chassis is powder-coated steel. The remaining construction (frame) is made
of 304 stainless steel sheet metal and box sections. The gasoline engine is located in a shielded but
ventilated cabinet which is marked with warning labels due to the heat that can build up around the
gasoline engine. The gasoline engine exhaust has a direct passage to the outside of the ventilated cabinet
and is covered with a protective cover. The exhaust is located (as seen from the operating side) on the left
side of the machine.
