Q: How is a hot-air calf dehorner different from a conventional dehorner?
A: Instead of relying mainly on direct contact with a glowing cauterizing ring, this design directs concentrated hot air over the horn-bud treatment area.

Q: What is the reference operating temperature?
A: The reference hot-air system reaches approximately 450°C.

Q: How quickly is the unit ready for use?
A: The reference heat-up time is approximately 60 seconds.

Q: What is the working-tip diameter?
A: The reference configuration uses a 22 mm working head.

Q: Does it require an electrical outlet?
A: No. The unit is gas powered and operates without a mains power cable.

Q: How long can it operate?
A: The reference operating duration is approximately 120 minutes with the specified fuel configuration.

Q: Is it intended for mature horns?
A: No. This equipment is intended for early calf disbudding rather than removal of fully developed mature horns.

Q: Can spare parts be supplied?
A: Yes. Compatible gas nozzles and selected burner and sealing components can be supplied according to the equipment configuration.
