Q: What is a Farm Vehicle Biosecurity Disinfection System?
A: It is an automatic drive-through system designed to apply a compatible disinfectant solution to vehicle tyres, wheels and undercarriage areas at controlled farm entrances.

Q: Is it suitable for commercial pig farms?
A: Yes. The system can be configured for commercial pig farms, poultry farms, cattle farms, breeding facilities, livestock transport sites and other agricultural operations requiring controlled vehicle sanitation.

Q: How does the automatic disinfection cycle work?
A: An entry sensor detects the vehicle and activates the programmed spray cycle. The pump and dosing system then deliver the prepared disinfectant solution through strategically positioned nozzles.

Q: Which vehicle areas can be treated?
A: The system can be configured to treat tyres, wheels, underbody and accessible chassis areas. Additional spray assemblies can be included according to the required coverage.

Q: Does the system require excavation?
A: Not necessarily. Surface-mounted configurations can be installed on suitable existing or prepared bases. An inset installation is also available for projects requiring a permanent flush platform. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
