Disinfection arch on a farm in Lérida, Spain.

This project, located in Lérida, has been successfully implemented, in charge of Serviporcthe installation of a disinfection arch in a pig farm. In this farm has been built a concrete slab for the arch.

Biosecurity in pig farms is of utmost importance to guarantee the health and welfare of the animals, as well as to prevent the spread of diseases. According to the Royal Decree 306/2020 in article 5 paragraph 2.d. it is mandatory to have disinfection arches for vehicles entering the farm. The Porinox disinfection arch is developed and tested by biosecurity experts in the sector, and is presented as an effective solution for disinfecting vehicles entering the farm.

Arch characteristics

1. Material: Stainless steel, guaranteeing durability and corrosion resistance.
2. Modularity: The disinfection arch is a highly compatible modular system. Customers can purchase the complete system or specific parts according to their needs.
3. Automatic Activation: Activated by photocells to ensure an efficient process without manual intervention.
4. Integrated Circuit: Disinfection system with an integrated water circuit, ensuring uniform distribution of disinfectants.
5. Tank house: A Porpanel® house is provided, if desired, to shelter the tank and the disinfection arch mechanisms, protecting them from weather conditions and ensuring proper maintenance.
6. Wheel bath: This element ensures that both the tires and the lower parts of the vehicles are adequately sanitized. It also prevents vehicles from traveling at excessive speed.

Benefits

Improved biosafety

• The presence of the disinfection arch at the farm entry point ensures a higher level of biosecurity. This system helps prevent the introduction of pathogens and infectious agents by significantly reducing the possibility of cross-contamination.

Reduced risk of disease

• By disinfecting vehicles entering the farm, the risk of disease spread among animals is greatly reduced. This contributes to maintaining a sanitary environment that favors the health and welfare of pigs, reducing the likelihood of epidemiological outbreaks.

Efficiency in disinfection processes

• Automatic activation by photocells streamlines the disinfection process, eliminating the need for manual intervention. This not only improves efficiency, but also reduces the time required to carry out biosecurity measures, allowing for smoother management of vehicle flow.

Compliance with quality and safety standards

• The disinfection arches are developed according to rigorous quality and safety standards. Certification and quality tests ensure that the product complies with the specific regulations of the swine sector, giving the customer peace of mind regarding the effectiveness and reliability of the system.

Protection of personnel and livestock

• The implementation of the disinfection arch not only protects pigs from potential disease threats, but also contributes to the safety of farm personnel. By minimizing the entry of pathogens, worker exposure to biohazards is reduced.

Maintenance optimization

• The inclusion of a Porpanel® to house the arc mechanisms facilitates maintenance tasks. This ensures longer system life and optimal performance over time, minimizing costs associated with frequent repairs.

Customer reputation and trust

• The implementation of advanced biosecurity measures, backed by the expertise of Serviporc in the facility, contributes to strengthening the reputation of the pig farm. Customers and partners can have confidence in the dedicated attention to animal health and safety.

"Taken together, these benefits position the disinfection arc as an essential tool for improving health management on swine farms, ensuring an optimal environment for swine production and strengthening the long-term sustainability of the operation."
