SRone vs Triomatic
Two robotic barn machines, one verified table. Every figure below is sourced and dated; vendor claims are labelled and kept apart from independent results.
GEA's battery-powered manure scraper robot for slatted floors — a flat, quiet 400 kg unit that pushes slurry through the slats with up to 100 kg of pushing force, turns fully within 2 m and slips under gates. The lateral-guidance SRone cleans up to 8,000 m² of slatted floor per day; the programmable SRone+ extends that to 12,000 m² with custom route plans. Runs up to 19.5 h per day on a 4.5 h quick charge.
Best for: Dairy barns with slatted floors — from simple straight walkways (SRone) to larger barns with complex, personalised routes (SRone+) — wanting continuous slat cleaning without floor cables.Modular automatic feeding system from Dutch feed-mixer specialist Trioliet — a feed kitchen (T10–T40 variants, from stationary mixers to feed floors for silage blocks and bales) supplies a robot that mixes and distributes rations around the clock. Robots come suspended, battery-powered or wheel-driven; the wheel-driven WP 2 300 carries a 3 m³ chamber with two vertical stainless-steel augers and a dual-side discharge belt, powered continuously from an overhead rail so it never runs out of battery. Dual-Flow mixing handles batches from roughly 60 kg.
Best for: Dairy and beef farms wanting a full automatic-feeding chain (storage, mixing, distribution) from one supplier, with feed-kitchen options matching how you store forage — bunkers, blocks, or bales.| SRone Verified 2026-07-17 | Triomatic Verified 2026-07-17 | |
