The ShearEzy upright shearing machine is designed to enable experienced or novice shearers to effectively and easily shear sheep while standing upright.
Wool is contained as a complete, intact fleece presented ready for classing. The machine can be set as a single stand, or multiple units can be coupled together. They can be fixed to a trailer for use as a portable shearing shed. As a single unit, it is portable and can easily be moved by two people to be set up in any location, typically in a wool shed, in machinery sheds, or in the paddock.
EASE OF USE
When the operator requires a sheep for shearing, a thumb-controlled air valve is activated, clamping the body of a waiting sheep in the elevated compartment. A second valve is then used to transfer the sheep from the standing position to the back-down position, totally inverted on the cradle.
RESTRAINT
The sheep are easily restrained, using leg hooks to prevent kicking. The cradle keeps the sheep still while the belly, neck and crutch are shorn.
ROTATION
While the sheep is initially on its back, the belly wool is removed, the neck is opened up, and the crutch and inside the legs are cleaned up. The majority of the sheep’s body is shorn longbows. As each section is completed, the operator rotates the sheep, depressing a foot-operated air valve.
