2017 Jamesway Dura-Chain Alley Scraper 

2017 Jamesway Dura-Chain Alley Scraper

The small footprint of the Drive Unit is a real advantage. It is easy to position the DURA-CHAIN Drive Unit without blocking doorways, and the flexible layout options keep you in control of the barn plan. Choose the configuration for your barn:

• STRAIGHT MOUNTING

• OFFSET MOUNTING

• CORNER MOUNTING

You may choose to install the Jamesway DURA-CHAIN in a floor groove to be most unobtrusive, or right on top of the floor for easy cleaning. On-Floor mounting also makes installation in existing barns fast and easy.

Even the smallest skidsteer loader can pass over this wheel. At only 3 tall, these corner wheels are also easy to hide under walkways.

On some layouts the alley lengths differ because special care pens or the parlor holding area extends into the barn. The DURA-CHAIN Scraper System easily handles this problem using a special Slider-Sled on the blade in the short alley which allows this blade to remain idle for part of the chain travel.

Simplicity is fundamental to durability, and nothing could be simpler than the Jamesway DURA-CHAIN Drive Unit. The gearbox is the only moving part, so we made it massive. The pocket-type chain sprocket is extremely gentle to chain and is mounted directly on the gearbox output. The simple belt drive provides gentle start-up and allows the use of a standard model motor.

• Compact unit fits anywhere.

• Gentle pocket-type chain sprocket.

Jamesway DURA-CHAIN is hardened to resist wear. Unlike mild steel chains, the heat treated diameter steel links of the DURA-CHAIN can withstand the steel-on-steel or steel-on-concrete wear that scraper chains are exposed to. The chain can be run in a 2 3/8x 2 3/8 floor groove, or this compact chain can run on top of the floor without creating cow disturbance.

Straight blades are popular because they open and close quickly, allowing cleaning to begin immediately at the top of the alley. The rollback center blades and the outer wings are both self-adjusting for wear.

When operated at 0 angle (fully straight), Jamesway Straight blades will require the least amount of space at the ends of the barn. The same blade may also be set to operate at 16 angle to keep the manure load centered when used in drier conditions.

Straight blades with wiper edges produce the driest, cleanest finish on smooth floors. The replaceable wiper edges are available in rubber or in urethane for greater wear resistance.

V-blades are the best choice for low maintenance. The replaceable wear blades can be used 4 times before they must be replaced, keeping maintenance costs low. For abrasion resistance, choose the steel wear blade. For ultra-gentle cleaning of rubber floors, choose the UHMW wear blade.

Jamesway scraper blades are quick-attach mounted to the towing sled. Blade removal for service is fast and no tools are required. All models of Jamesway blades can also quickly be folded without tools to allow passage of tractors.
