Hybrid technology

1. Comfortable walking surface
   The walking surface of ECO Flooring always consists of a combination of concrete and rubber. Both concrete and rubber have advantages and disadvantages. ECO Flooring combines the advantages and eliminates the disadvantages.
   ‍
2. Optimal walkability
   The hybrid walking surface of concrete and rubber ensures high grip for the cows. It also provides excellent walkability for the farmer. The combination of concrete and rubber is the key to this high grip, as two materials provide more anti-slip.
   ‍
   ECO Floors are walking floors and not lying floors. The presence of concrete prevents cows from using the floor as a lying floor.
   ‍
3. Higher productivity
   With ECO Floors, dairy farmers can achieve higher productivity. Our customers note an increase in the overall health of their animals and higher lifetime production.

   DLG has tested ECO Floors in the field with positive results. ECO Floors have a great positive impact on your cows' claw and leg health, draftiness and activity.
   ‍
4. Applicable as low-emission floor
   The ECO Floors have been developed to be applicable as low-emission floor. The low-emission ECO-Floor has been fully measured and recognized in the Netherlands with a final emission factor of 7 kg NH3 per cow per year on the RAV list.

The structure of ECO-Floors

‍Eco-slat
The basis of the ECO Floors is the ECO-slat, standard driveable with tractor loads. The slat has a profiled surface and the sides are rounded. The ECO-Floors can be used in virtually any barn thanks to our extensive delivery program.

‍RubberInserts
The rubber inserts are inserted into the recesses of the ECO-slat . These inserts are embedded in the concrete, which guarantees a long service life. Specialized rubber manufacturers produce the rubber inserts according to the quality standards and design determined by Anders Beton. Meanwhile, there are different types of rubber inserts to provide a solution for every application.

‍Emission Reduction Valves
The ECO Floors are modular in design, allowing the valves to be installed both before and after the barn is commissioned. These valves are located under the rubber inserts and allow the manure to pass through very well.

‍Eco-grate floors
The rubber inserts have slots with a width of 40 mm. The manure and urine pass through these slots into the manure cellar. In the manure cellar, the slurry is mixed regularly. This manure can be used on the land in the spreading period.It is recommended to use a manure scraper or manure spreading robot, in the Netherlands this is mandatory. The slurry content is ± 15%.

ECO-Floor for renovation

Performing a new construction project with ECO Floor is often accompanied by renovation of the older barn area. ECO Renovation Grids are the ideal solution for this. The height and length are tailored to commonly used dimensions of old concrete gratings. See tab technical specifications.

ECO Floor in combination with our profiled gratings

Our ECO Floor can be installed in combination with our Profile gratings. For this purpose we offer our ECO/Profile transition elements. See tab technical specifications.
