KMC poultry house cleaners are designed for efficient litter management in poultry houses. All models can be used to remove caked material and to sift smaller particles back to the floor. With the use of optional total cleanout plates, all models can be used to totally clean a house, removing large and small particles.
Standard height models have a larger tank capacity and are provided for use in houses that can accommodate the taller working height. Low profile models have less tank capacity and are provided for use in houses that cannot accommodate taller working heights.
Floor chain unload models unload the tank without tilting the bed and can be equipped with an optional spreader attachment for growers who have a need to spread litter or compost. The dump bed model cannot be equipped with the optional spreader attachment and is provided for growers who simply want to do a quick dump in a compost shed.
Heavy duty models are provided for customers who desire the heavier duty components with which these models are equipped.
The cleaners offer a manual pivoting tongue for cleaning closer to walls and a leveling conveyor for uniform distribution in the tank. The hydraulic pump is connected to tractor PTO, and there is depth adjustment on the hydraulic cylinder. The cleaners feature single 12.5L x 16 wheels and all motors are mounted inboard for side clearance.

Farmer Automatic
 |
Farmer Automatic has a compact, self-propelled machine—the Compost Cat—that stirs, aerates and redeposits material in a windrow configuration behind the machine. The unit is designed to operate in high-rise poultry houses and small windrow applications.
The Compost Cat features a 45 hp Deutz diesel engine that provides power to all of the machine’s hydraulic systems. With its four-wheel hydraulic drive system, each wheel has its own hydraulic motor for easy maneuvering from the operator’s seat. With its skid steering, tracking of the machine down the windrow requires minimal operator’s assistance.
The Compost Cat features rugged steel construction and epoxy paint finish, which will provide years of reliability and a rust-free structure, the company says.
With its pick-up head, the front unit can be hydraulically lowered and raised for operation and ease of transport. On the Center-Flo auger, rotation is hydraulically driven; it breaks up the material and moves it to the center of the machine where it is deposited on the Flo-Thru belt system.
With the Flow-Thru belt system, the conveyor belt receives the material from the Center-Flo auger and transports it through the Compost Cat housing, depositing it in a windrow behind the machine.
