Cow ID Curtain – Compatible with DeLaval
Premium Replacement Curtain with Enhanced Durability
Upgrade your identification system with our heavy-duty Cow ID Curtain. Designed as a superior alternative to the original equipment, this curtain offers increased wear resistance and a simplified installation process, ensuring your DeLaval milking or sorting system identifies every cow accurately and consistently.
Key Features
- Superior Material Quality: Constructed with a more robust material than the standard OEM version, designed to withstand the high-traffic environment of a dairy parlor.
- Integrated Antenna: The identification antenna cable is precision-welded directly into the curtain for maximum protection against moisture and physical damage.
- Self-Tensioning Design: Features two internally welded weights that keep the curtain perfectly taut, preventing sagging and ensuring an optimal reading field.
- Plug-and-Play Installation: Engineered for a tool-free, intuitive assembly that requires no complex manuals.
Technical Specifications & Installation
- Part Number: Corresponds to DeLaval 984523-80.
- Simple Wiring: The two curtain wires can be connected to the printed circuit board (PCB) in any order—no specific polarity is required, making the electrical setup foolproof.
- Control Housing: The control system is conveniently located on the PCB directly above the mounting bracket.
Maintenance Tip: Protecting Your ID Signal
To ensure 100% read accuracy, periodically wipe down the surface of the curtain. While the internal antenna is welded for protection, a heavy buildup of dried manure or mineral deposits on the exterior can occasionally interfere with the signal range. Checking the mounting bracket bolts for tightness once a month will also prevent "curtain swing," which can lead to missed ID reads.
