Precise control in cattle-handling
Agriculture Case Study: Productivity improvements, prompt end-to-end service and support, improved handling pneumatics and solution design.
Location: Australia | Customer: Cavalier Livestock
Customer Problem
Precise control of hydraulic and pneumatic systems in cattle handling equipment such as chutes, gates, and squeeze chutes are crucial for animal welfare and operational efficiency.
Cavalier Livestock, a cattle-handling manufacturer, faced problems with their previous supplier's poor-quality solutions and system designs, resulting in lost sales. They partnered with Norgren due to superior products, onsite commissioning and after-sales support. Norgren's systems, including actuators, valves, fittings, and control solutions, enable semi-automatic or full remote/auto operation of Cavalier's cattle crushes, gating, and drafting systems.
Norgren were required to provide:
Pneumatic systems for automation of cattle handling equipment to improve efficiency.
Assistance with design, product selection and supply of pneumatics and control systems for customer applications.
New product development to help with controlling speed and bouncing of cylinders on cattle crushes.
Norgren Solution
Norgren's solutions proved highly beneficial to Cavalier Livestock, resolving issues with system design, specifically bouncing and cylinder control in cattle crushes. The suggested mechanical changes resulted in increased sales of Cavalier's products, with immediate improvements to their system design.
Norgren's consistent professionalism and dedication to meeting demanding delivery schedules allowed Cavalier to explore new products and remain at the forefront of the agricultural industry. Their innovative products and services went above and beyond Cavalier's expectations, resulting in high-quality products that they are proud to showcase and promote.
The relationship between Norgren and Cavalier Livestock is credited to Norgren's quality products and knowledgeable staff addressing Cavalier's pain points to achieve market success, making Norgren their ongoing pneumatics supplier.
