Racewell is a world leader in automated sheep drafting and handling systems.

The use of pneumatics and infra red sensors enable the system to be fully automated, for one person operation.
Sheep can be weighed, dagged, drenched and drafted by weight, or any other criteria that can be measured and recorded against an EID tag, making the Racewell Super Sheep Handler a complete handling system.

The Racewell can draft by 3, 5 ,7 or 9 ways.
Draft by:

  • Weight
  • Micron
  • Sire
  • Fibre length
  • History
  • Breed
  • Or any other criteria that can be measured

HOW IT WORKS

As the sheep enters the Racewell Super Sheep Handler, it breaks a light beam which activates the fully adjustable clamping sidewall to secure the sheep.
The light beams are fully adjustable enabling the sheep to be restrained in a variety of positions to suit your requirements.
By setting the draft limits in the weighing indicator the sheep are drafted according to their weight.
The Racewell Super Sheep Handler is fast, drafting 600 to 800 per hour.
The catching side is also remote controlled, ideal for the one man operation. Catch and release sheep as required from up to 50 metres away.
