Dairy shed and effluent electrical

We do the electrical and control work in and around dairy sheds: switchboards, vacuum and milk pump drives, effluent and water pumps, and the alarms that tell you something has stopped. Work is planned around milking.
Pump shed with electric motor driven pumps and large pipework

What we do

  • Shed switchboards, power and lighting
  • Variable speed drives on vacuum and milk pumps
  • Effluent pump and stirrer control with pond level alarms
  • Stock water and wash-down pump control
  • Remote monitoring of pumps and pond levels through Modbee
  • Breakdown call-outs when the shed cannot wait

Problems we solve

  • A vacuum pump that runs flat out for the whole milking
  • An effluent pond that gets too high before anyone notices
  • Old shed wiring that trips when everything starts at once
Brands: WEG, Davey and Modbee.

Questions

Can the work be done without disrupting milking?

Yes. We plan shutdowns between milkings and keep changeovers short, with a temporary supply ready where a job takes longer.

Can I get a warning before the effluent pond is full?

Yes. A level sensor and a Modbee controller send a text at the level you choose, well before it overflows.

Need something built, fixed or upgraded?

Call to talk it through, or send the job details and photos and we will come back to you with a time or a price.
