Product Description
Urban MilkShuttle
The URBAN MilkShuttle mobile calf feeder helps Irish farmers make calf feeding faster, easier and more consistent. Its electric drive, integrated heating, two-stage agitator and precise dosing system simplify milk preparation and delivery, helping reduce physical effort and save time during daily feeding. Available in five tank sizes from 100 to 350 litres, it can be configured to suit different herd sizes and farm routines.
Key Benefits of the URBAN MilkShuttle
- Less time spent feeding: the brochure states that feeding 30 calves can take around 11 minutes with the MilkShuttle, compared with up to 25 minutes using buckets.
- Powered mobility: the electric drive helps move the unit around the farm, including over uneven ground and inclines.
- Consistent milk preparation: integrated heating and a two-stage agitator support well-mixed feed at the required temperature.
- Accurate portion control: four dosing quantities can be programmed, with dosing in 0.1-litre increments.
- Flexible capacity: choose from five tank sizes to suit your calf numbers and feeding routine.
How the MilkShuttle Works
The MilkShuttle is designed for mobile preparation and delivery of whole milk or milk replacer. Its two-stage agitator offers a slower setting for whole milk and a faster setting to help mix milk replacer into a homogeneous feed. The control panel displays useful information, including battery charging status, and programmable start times can be set for milk warming.
