 Switch
from 350 lb. to 2500 lb. animals with little or no adjustment with
SILENCER's full opening door system, using hydraulic lower squeeze.Designed for operations requiring adjustment from large to small livestock quickly. Both sides adjust on SILENCER's hydraulic lower squeeze. And, our hydraulic lower squeeze can accommodate a side exit on one or both sides, and allows a full-sized drop pan. Some chutes sacrifice the lower half of drop pan accessibility with a hydraulic lower squeeze.

Structurally Superior Main Frame uses 4X2 or 4X3,
corresponding to chute model, preventing frame flex. The standard mechanical lower squeeze has a latch adjustment shaft that flips up
for easy clean-out. The mechanical bottom shaft adjusts the chute's
lower panels from 22'' down to 6''.

SILENCER chutes utilize 4 squeeze panel connector points with large  pyramid
gussets on standard length chutes. Two additional squeeze panel connector
points are added to SILENCER extended chute models.The SILENCER gussets cover 40% of the chute's top main frame, equalizing the squeeze pressure from front to rear on squeeze panels. To cut costs, some chutes use only 2 squeeze connector points, creating a twisting effect on the squeeze gates, with most of the pressure being at the front of the chute. The twisting effect starts breakage and leads to frame failure.

We think welded on components only hinder a sound maintenance program. SILENCER's drop bars are replaceable on Heavy Duty and Commercial Pro models.
SILENCER's "Smooth-Action" drop bar and drop pan latches have no steel-on-steel contact points. Oil-based, high density polyethylene material covers the 130 contact points located on both squeeze panels for quiet operation. Drop gate and drop pan latches are adjustable and easily replaced by removing top bolt. Both latches are designed to assure single-handed operation. Grab hold and shake a sidegate-you decide the decibels game some brands claim!

 SILENCER's oil-based
urethane bearings are self lubricating, non-corrosive and easily
replaceable, and our greaseable rocker shaft roller bearings provide extra
smooth action and long life on Heavy Duty and Commercial Pro models.
SILENCER's modular design makes replacement of all main pivot points simple.
Head and Taildoors are interchangeable by quickly pulling pins and bolts.

 Grease Zerks are
installed for superior maintenance.
SILENCER's main cylinder pins have Grease Zerks installed for superior maintenance on SILENCER Ranch, Heavy Duty and Commercial Pro models. SILENCER is the only chute with this feature and we question other brand's claims of "no linkage" or "wear points". The SILENCER Commercial Pro model even has a lower cylinder access door.
|
 SILENCER's drop
panels are constructed of high test 45,000 PSI steel and are designed for
full access to the entire bottom of the animal; door can easily be removed
by sliding lowered door to one side.

Take out one bolt, remove drop bar, clean out hair and debris, and
re-install drop bar to add years to chute life.
