Model 400 Barn Cleaner Success Story
A Patz Barn Cleaner in Bronx, New York?
The Patz Barn Cleaner winds around in front of all the pens for easy disposal of waste materials.
When you think of Patz barn cleaners, you will most likely picture a dairy farm in the country. But 10 years ago, Patz dealer Ron Rutledge of Rutledge Repairs in Damascus, PA, made a very unique installation in Bronx, NY.
Ron installed a Patz Model 400 Barn Cleaner in the James Carter Giraffe Facility at the Bronx Zoo. In addition to giraffes, this facility houses zebras, mongoose, lovebirds, ostriches, wild dogs, cheetahs and duikers. Zookeepers say that the Patz barn cleaner is a "labor saving asset" to their facility.
When cleaning stalls, zookeepers deposit waste material into a gutter that winds around in front of all the pens. The barn cleaner takes the waste out to a collection point outside the facility, saving time and labor for staff.
Ron provides regular service and maintenance to three barn cleaners at the Bronx Zoo. This provides peace of mind to the zoo, knowing that they can depend on their Patz dealer for his expertise and great service.
The Bronx Zoo is host to 2 million visitors each year.
