Rubber floor mat V-Twin®

plasticconcretecow comfort

The V-Twin® is a non-slip flooring system for cattle traffic lanes, designed to collect liquid effluents and improve cow safety and hoof health. It combines a drained substructure of honeycomb-shaped lightweight plastic modules installed on existing concrete with a continuous non-slip rubber coating to accelerate liquid evacuation and reduce ammonia emissions.

How it works

• Honeycomb-shaped lightweight plastic pieces are placed on existing concrete to form the substructure and create a 3% dual slope toward two integrated channels.
• Urine and other liquids flow by gravity into the channels and are rapidly evacuated, limiting stagnation on the walking surface and reducing the risk of foot diseases.
• A continuous non-slip rubber coating is unrolled along the full corridor length to provide optimal grip for cows and safer movement.

Key benefits

• Easy cleaning: drained design and channels facilitate removal of liquids and slurry using scrapers.
• Effective drainage: 3% dual slope toward two channels ensures continuous gravity flow of liquids.
• Non-slip surface: rubber coating improves traction to reduce falls and injuries.
• Reduced emissions: faster drainage shortens liquid residence time on the floor and can lower ammonia emissions (reported up to 45%).

Ideal applications

• Traffic lanes and circulation corridors in dairy and cattle buildings to improve effluent management.
• Areas where reducing ammonia and other harmful gas emissions is a priority.
• Passages requiring improved animal traction and hygiene.
• Facilities aiming to optimize cow comfort and productivity.
