Craigco Sheep Jetters

The first Sensor Jet was sold in January 2005, it has been well received by the farming community.

An electronic sensor sometimes known as a magic eye detects sheep inside the jetting race, power is then sent to 2 solenoid valves. The jetter has 6 spray bars, 20 jets positioned to provide optimum penetration and coverage for fly and lice control. Ewes and lambs can be treated together, there is no need to draft out.

The sensor on the Craigco Sensor Jet is stragetically positioned so that it will detect small lambs through to large ewes, the sensor does not look through a glass window as this could potentially affect the reliability of the jetter.

The jetter frame is hot dip galvanised, the bolt on components are either hot dip or electro galvanised.

Internal V panels are adjustable both in width and spring tension. The jetter weighs less 100 kg, it is easily handled by 2 people.

The jetter package includes an auto shut gate, exit ramp, 2 connecting pins a hose kit and a recent addition is a fold away spray retention cover.

After connecting the jetter power lead to a 12 volt battery and the pump suction hose to a supply tank, you are then ready to start jetting, it’s that easy.

The Hi Flo Jetter has been marketed since 1992.

There are 2 tapered gates inside the jetter, 1 of which is connected to a butterfly valve. As sheep pass through the jetter the tapered gates are forced open, in turn opening the butterfly valve. Although sheep are in the jetter for approx ½ second up to 3 litres of dip can be delivered. Wooly ewes require between 1.5 – 2.0 litres, lambs 1.0 – 1.5 litres.

The jetter frame and components are either hot dip or electro galvanised. A large expansion chamber (2.25 litres) acts as a cushion for the pump and provides instantaneous jetting.

The jetter weighs 100 kg and is on a skid base. A full hose kit and camlock fittings are provided.
