    * continuous lubrication of the gear over the machine’s entire lifetime
    * intelligent electronics for fault-free and low-maintenance operation
    * control with clearly visible display to indicate the operating status
    * variable setting options for brush running time (10 – 300 s)
    * the changing direction of the brush after ever activation ensures even wear of the brushes
    * the torque safety shutdown stops the brush when it encounters too much resistance, ensuring safety in the barn
    * plug ready for connection to 230 V socket
    * all steel parts are hot dip galvanised
