“Everything on the machine is built for quality,” Mr Hales said.
A stainless-steel roll frame is also available, as well as foaming de- vices for applying sani- tiser for cleaning prod- ucts through the ma- chine.
One Australian pump manufacturer has worked with producers around the country to develop a product range particularly suitable for livestock applications.
tralia, the Sizzler is a high-pressure hot-wash machine, delivering 1800psi or 130 bar of pressure and a flow of 10LPM.
“We built it based on feedback we received from users around Aus- tralia.”
Aussie Pumps, with a 1ha factory in Syd- ney’s Norwest business district, is proud of its new ‘Sizzler’ hot-wash machine.
The Sizzler is compact in design and easy to move, with four flat-free tyred wheels.
The delayed total stop feature brings the machine to a halt 30 seconds after the gun trigger is closed – saving fuel and preventing ac- cidents.
The company also has a range of heavy-duty cold-wash machines with flows to 28LPM and pressures as high as 5000psi.
Aussie Pumps chief engineer John Hales said, “We’re conscious of the need for constant reliable cleaning equip- ment.”
Weighing 100kg, it is deceptively manoeu- vrable, with an inte- grated handle and full stainless-steel cover.
Micro-leak protection stops the machine in case of leaks in the hy- draulic circuit when the gun is shut down.
These machines are available in single and three-phase configura- tion and are compact, slow speed and long life with minimal mainte- nance.
“We ensure that hy- giene rules are adhered to in the easiest, safest and
Underneath the shiny exterior, there is a heavy- duty four-pole slow- speed 1450rpm single- phase 240V motor.
Clogged nozzle con- trol brings the machine to a stop if the nozzle in the end of the lance is blocked, which pre- vents the possibility of a build-up of pressure in the system.
With a maximum tem- perature of 80C, the ma- chine has the ability to eradicate bacteria.
The machine is loaded with safety controls de- signed to protect the ma- chine and operator.
Bigger machines are available in a pres- sure range of 3000 and 4000psi, making them suitable for even high- producing processing plants.
Aussie Pumps’ Sizzler hot-wash machine is an ideal germ killer in processing plants.

Dry running protec- tion and intelligent auto switch off are also part of the system.
Pork producers can qualify for the regular specials on this equip- ment and could receive the 100 percent depre- ciation allowance if they make an acquisition be- fore June 30.
Ignition boiler delay ensures low fume emis- sions when the boiler starts up.
It’s a smart move to buy before the end of the financial year.
Turbo-lances are available to give extra ‘whack’ if there’s any hard cleaning to be done.

And a flat surface cleaner can also operate off the machine.

In a new venture of pro- viding on-farm transpar- ency to the public, a con- ventional Danish broiler farm has a livestream camera into one of their sheds.
From the livestreaming page, the shed design is explained and there are two cameras that switch between each other regu- larly to show all areas of the shed interior.
chickens are now 13 days old and are drinking an average of 64ml of water per day and eating 32g of food in a 29.4C shed.
slight increase in slaughter pig prices, providing some hope for Danish pig pro- ducers.
Interestingly, there is a ‘live’ count of the number of chickens present and some statistics on their feed and water consump- tion.
The shed will continue to be livestreamed until the final chicken is loaded out of the barn for processing at 35 days old.
Danish Crown’s listing for week eight has in- creased $A0.04 to $A1.70 per kilo.
It is a first for Denmark – to be livestreaming from a farm – and you have to admire the commitment of the Danish broiler industry to true transparency.
During this period, the Danish Agriculture and Food Council hope to dispel some of the myths around broiler chicken production in Denmark and provide Danish con- sumers with an opportu- nity to follow the journey of the chicken’s lifecycle.
It is the first time prices in Demark have increased since June 2021, with the price either falling or re- maining the same since then.
Consumers have been invited on a journey with broiler producers from Struer in western Jutland, who have partnered with the Danish Agriculture and Food Council (Land- brug og Fødevarer) – the latter having created the platform for the lives- treaming.
Schools are also encour- aged to follow along, pro- viding an easy option for teachers and students to check-in daily.
Danish Crown have in- dicated that they believe this is the first sign of the revival of the Euro- pean pork market, because now the supply in Europe has started to decline and demand has increased as more European countries open for tourism following reduced COVID-19 re- strictions.
The broiler producers are profiled with video intro- ductions of themselves and their facilities, in addition to facts about the Danish broiler industry and expla- nations of husbandry pro- cesses.
The past week has seen a
The journey began with the delivery of 32,000-day old chicks from a Danish hatchery on February 8.
