This manure scraper is an automatic barn cleaning system designed for cattle barns, dairy farms, horse facilities, donkey barns, mule barns and large livestock farms. It uses a drive unit, chain or traction structure, control cabinet and scraper blade to move manure through a closed-loop alley cleaning path and collect manure into a channel or handling area. The system supports automatic operation, manual mode switching, adjustable speed and 1–4 scraper lane layouts.
Product Overview
This automatic manure scraper system is designed for livestock barns that need scheduled, repeatable and labor-saving manure removal. The system uses a main drive unit, control cabinet, traction chain or wire-rope structure, guide wheel, tensioning system and scraper blade to move manure along the barn alley and push it into a manure collection channel.
The scraper runs through a closed-loop cleaning path. During operation, manure, urine, bedding residue and wastewater are moved toward the collection area, helping farms keep barn alleys cleaner and more manageable. The control system can support automatic operation, manual mode switching, animation display, automatic memory, alarm record and emergency stop functions.
This system is suitable for cattle, horses, donkeys and mules, especially in dairy barns, beef cattle barns, horse facilities and livestock farms with fixed manure alleys. It is most suitable for farms planning automatic manure removal during new barn construction or barn cleaning system renovation.
Product Features
- Closed-Loop Alley Cleaning: The scraper works through a closed-loop movement path to collect manure into a manure channel or handling area.
- Automatic and Manual Operation: The system can run automatically according to cleaning settings, and manual mode can be used for temporary cleaning or maintenance needs.
- Touch-Screen Control Cabinet: The control cabinet can display operation status and help farm staff monitor the cleaning process.
- Animation Display: The control interface can show a visual running status, making system operation easier to understand.
- Automatic Memory Function: The system can record operating settings and running status to support repeated cleaning routines.

- Emergency Stop Function: Emergency stop configuration helps improve safety during inspection, cleaning, maintenance or unexpected operation conditions.
- Adjustable Running Speed: The running speed can be adjusted according to manure volume, alley condition and cleaning frequency.
- Galvanized Chain Drive: A galvanized chain drive can be used for traction, suitable for humid, muddy and manure-rich barn environments.
- Sprocket and Chain Engagement: Sprocket-chain engagement helps reduce slipping and idle running compared with loose traction contact.
- Tensioning System: The tensioning structure helps reduce chain looseness and supports long-term stable operation.
- Automatic Blade Lifting or Retraction: The scraper blade can be configured to lift or retract automatically according to running direction and system design.
- Multi-Lane Barn Layout: One drive unit can support 1–4 scraper blades or scraper lanes according to barn structure.
- Optional Lubrication and Anti-Freezing Support: Automatic lubrication and anti-freezing configurations can be discussed for long-term or cold-climate use.
