DlP—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 29,1984 Hog pen washer saves time BANGOR It used to be that when Joe Keifer cleaned out his hog pens it was an all-day affair. It meant soaking the pen walls, scrubbing, and finally, washing away the soil. That changed recently when he purchased a Euroclean E-6 pressure washer. “It used to take all day from about 6 00 a.m. until 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. to get the pens clean Now it’s all done in two to three hours,” says Keifer, owner of J.H. Keifer ABS gets 4 Pa. bulls DE FOREST, Wise. - Four Holstein bulls have been acquired from Pennsylvania breeders by American Breeders Service for its Progeny Testing Program.

Farms Keifer moves about 800 hogs to market every 90 days. “That’s when we do most of our cleaning, though we’ll clean some of the pens every three or four days to avoid buildup,” Keifer explains. After some considerable shopping, Keifer was introduced to the E-6 by Bob Welser of the Aqua Cleaning Equipment Co., Pen Argyl, and selected it primarily because of its variable speed Yules-Pride Ijon Jon-ET was sired by Sterk R A Ijon, +slso, + 1,013 M and +SOBF and Cha-Do Jet Stream Jetta.

I tried one pressure cleaner and the force was so strong that I ended up spraying soil all over the pen ceiling. That’s what happens when you can’t vary the amount of pressure,” he says. In addition to variable pressure speed, the Euroclean E-6 features dual-wand capability Both spray wands produce full pressure (1,800 psi) at 3.25 gpm and can be used simultaneously. The E-6 also employs a direct drive, six-piston pump, and the pressure control is fully adjustable from zero to 1,800 psi. It also features a special Euroclean system that instantly relieves pressure buildup inside the unit when the spray wand is closed. The Euroclean pump is protected from hot water damage by a temperature relief valve which automatically opens if bypasses water becomes too hot. A detachable Transpo-Cart comes as standard equipment with the E-6, permitting either portable operation or permanent in stallation. The dual-spray wand capability allows installation of the unit in a multi-station cleaning system, where no more than two wands will be used at the same time. The multi-station feature is another reason Keifer chose the E -6. “One of the big obstacles in our plans for expansion here was how to clean additional pens. With this multi-station capability, we can now proceed with our expansion,” he concludes. -i Hydro Heater, ' IllTTf Conestoga & ITHB Baker Stoves i F*TidPim Or Fireplace Inserts ■ 1 "Before You Buy...
