Enhanced Training

• Proper pig training, beginning almost as soon as pigs enter the barn, is essential in automatic sorting facilities.
   
• FAST II teaches pigs to exit the scale toward both directions to prevent balking during actual sorting. That improves throughput.
   
• FAST II scale operates at a very low pressure so it gives pigs a positive experience – there’s no harsh banging or squeezing from high pressure gates. That also improves sorting efficiency.
   
• Smart response during timeouts. When an inexperienced pig moves erratically or spends too long on the scale, it reacts by sending the pig to the appropriate side (heavy or light), rather than a default side like many competitive scales. This contributes to more accurate sorting.
   

“ The key to easy handling of pigs in large pens
is good facility design and automatic sorting
can be part of that. Once familiar with the flow
of the system, the pigs will sort themselves
during their daily activity cycle.”

– Dr. Harold W. Gonyou, Prairie Swine Centre, Inc.
