GROOVING

Groove dimensions should be precise to maximize traction, reduce claw wear, and minimize lameness

Width: 0.5 inches  |  Depth: 3/8″ inches  | Spacing: 4″  inches on center

Width: 0.75 inches  |  Depth: 3/8″ inches  | Spacing: 3.5″  inches on center

Concrete should always be grooved in the direction of traffic. Concrete grooving provides a durable long lasting traction solution. We cut machine grooves in a variety of patterns to provide optional traction.

Mini Grooving

We are offering the most effective livestock traction profile on the market. Our goal and technique is designed to create a mini grooved profile that livestock instantly respond to. Using depth reading sensors and diamond wheel set up we are able to bring you a machine cut groove similar to scarifying methods but will last 4x as long. This differs vastly from the safety surfacing and scarifying our competitors offer. Unlike scarify and traction milling we are able to maintain a constant depth, more effective pattern that does not crack nor break up the floor. It is truly the most effective service we offer.

Slat Barn Solutions

After touring Europe in late 22 we found the gold standard in slat grooving. I believe this is a first and exclusive to us profile in Canada. A non-slip solution that is cheaper and more effective than fitting a rubber mat. This is THE grooving solution for slats. Previous methods have been scarifying or cross cutting slats with ineffective patterns. This pattern is showing excellent results for traction and even hoof wear.

Grooves 4 to 5 mm deep and 12 mm wide, spaced 27 mm apart.

  Coatings

 Trakcrete offers is epoxy coatings for a number of applications including feed bunks, robot rooms, and tank rooms etc. We are an approved installer for MS Coating products, providing installation packages for the floor coatings. Prices range based on age of barns and the amount of deterioration in the aggregate and wear over time.

Advantages seen as soon as 2 days afterwards with payback in as little as 10 months.

1. Herd sorts less
2. Less feed waste as livestock will clean off the smooth clean surface
3. Increase in feed intake due to reduced bacteria creating feed heating issues
4. Along with better feed intake comes increase in milk production immediately
5. An easy to clean, non porous, chemical, and acid resistant surface that lasts a life time.
6. Saves valuable time and creates a much more hygienic work environment.

Bridge Tines / Grooving

We’ve successfully completed some bridge tineing projects for Ab Transportation. We are able to set up to with in 1mm or less of engineered spec. The equipment we use is electric powered (Quiet) and environmentally friendly. We have dust control equipment available as well. With the various blades and spacers think of it like a 3D printer for grooving. The machine does not change or affect the surface in any way other than the tines that are being cut. Our last project specifications were 3mm grooves set 20 mm on center and 3-5mm in depth. We were able to exceed 30 m2/hr. Due to the compact size and speed we were able to allow single lane traffic to flow smoothly throughout the process. Not only were the engineers impressed with the degree of precision that achieved, but the project managers were also equally impressed with the speed and professional manner it was completed in.

Make ask about a number of inexpensive options related to aprons, or especially silage storage. We use these products regularly and are noticing huge results in preservation of the substrate under silage. Its a silicate based product and easy to install. this product locks into the pores of the concrete, it doubles the surface hardness and creates an impermeable membrane within. This is super cheap insurance that will greatly increase the longevity of your investment.
