New Invention” Butterfly crush  filler gate

Connacht agri supplies ltd Proudly announce the arrival of The unique all new fully automatic invention the Butterfly crush filler gate for all livestock crushes ,  The all new butterfly crush filler gate allows livestock to enter from the back of a typical cattle crush. Its design has two separate hinged rotations or motions which lift up and out as the livestock enters hence (the butterfly wings). This mechanism opens automatically as the animals enter the crush without any restriction, Once the animal has passed through the gate it is physically impossible for the animal to reverse out of the crush. It has adjustable wings which close vertically & horizontally around the back of the animal. Its design allows for free flowing of animal traffic in one direction only. The butterfly cattle crush filler gate can be placed at any segment of the crush, commonly the most appropriate position would be at one animals distance from the very end of the crush to allow the cycle to begin without any congestion. If perhaps the need arises for the animal to be let back, this can be easily performed by pulling an adjustment pin which in turn can be put in place to lock the gate open.

Before this the farmer had to close a gate manually at the end of the crush. Or push a bar through the crush bars into holes left in the wall,This usually required some assistance ie, a second person.With the butterfly crush gate the need for a second person is eliminated Completely, Cattle go through it without any notice one after another and it is fully automatic so there is no need for a second person to stand at the gate and all the cattle are trapped inside the crush automatically, The butterfly crush filler gates wings are spring loaded & adjustable vertically for all sizes of stock, Of all the gates & manufacturers out there all the input seems to have been put into the head gate! with exception of the odd sliding gate or moveable bar behind the animal of which none are automatic. As everybody that has ever handled cattle into a crush knows! the back gate is equally as important to get right, as the head gate Another added benefit is, if the farmer is using a weigh platform he can move the butterfly gate so that it is directly behind the weigh platform to keep all livestock on the weigh scales.

The butterfly crush gate comes fully galvanised with accessories for fixing to crushes with walls on each side or tubular bars on one side and a wall on the opposite side.By purchasing extra wall or bar hangers the butterfly gate can be very portable for moving to different positions in the crush or to other crushes on out farms etc,In other words the butterfly crush filler gate design, is fully compatible with all crushes,The gate was invented by the Hession brothers of Connacht agri supplies ltdIt has patent protection applied for all Europe, The orders are already pouring in from farmers & distributors alike, Such is the interest that orders have also come in from livestock marts & meat factories around the country.
