WASP Commercial grade
Shock & Cattle prodders.

 

Probably the most durable cattle and shock prodders available today.

Revolution in animal control

A Humanitarian Electric Stock Prod.

Ever since the invention of the electric stock prod they have always indiscriminately shocked animals with no regard to different sensitivity levels.

Not all animals are the same. When an animal refuses to move an electric stock prod is invaluable. To meet the needs of the few, very stubborn and insensitive animals, electric stock prods have become more and more powerful. When these high power electric stock prods are then applied to sensitive animals, abnormal stresses can be induced. This is a sledge hammer approach when all that was needed is a small rubber hammer. 

Now WASP prodders have developed the “Progressive” power electric stock prod. This is a world first. The patented system gradually increases the power level over a short period of time. The probes are applied to the animal and the button is pressed. As power increases, the animal will determine the point when it is time to move. Only provide what is sufficient and not an overkill.   (Patent pending number 560460)

There are many benefits of lower stressed animals while handling.

·         At abattoirs animals are calmer until point of slaughter, resulting in more tender meat.

·         Loading stock trucks allows animals to be more co-operative instead of overexcited.

·         Any situation where animals are un-cooperative, they do not become hypo agitated after receiving an excessive electric prod.

We manufacture two sizes.

The Max.Pro Model shown here and the Pro-Mini Wasp. (See below)

Wasp prodders

We produce a robust range of output power levels using our robust housing.

Please note this animal prodder uses progressive power technology.
This is different to other makes of prodders. (Other prodders are full power from switch on) Protected by provisional patent number 560460

NOTE: At time of manufacture the units are  pre-programmed with any of the following operating modes.

Chose this

Full power from time of pressing the button. 

Or this

Medium power from time of pressing the button.

Or this

Ramp up power from 20% to 100% over 2 second period from pressing the button.

Yes/No here

Time out after 2 seconds after pressing the button. Then button needs to be let go for 2 seconds before it can work again.

As standard we supply this product as progressive power with no time out.
Variations in setting has to be specified at time of order. (Minimum order quantity required)

Benefits:
When ramping power is used, the animal decides when to move.
This reduces stress to the animals and the operators of cattle prods.

Battery life:
We use a high efficiency switched mode inverter. This produces an effective shock yet conserves energy for long battery life. Average current draw = 450mA. Using good quality alkaline batteries the batteries should last about 18 days continuous. This is based on working a full 8 hour day with a duty cycle of 3 seconds on and 20 seconds off.
If used less, say 2 hours per day batteries should last over 2 months.

Notes.

The electronic module is a capacitor discharge system.
There is a memory effect. The probes may remain charged for some time after use.

Instructions:

bulletUse ONLY on animals and not Humans.
bulletRecommend the use of alkaline batteries size “D” (4 required) Normal heavy duty batteries will also work but will last shorter time. See above
bulletThe Wand must be fully screwed on. (See instructions on back)
bulletWhen shorted out, and the button is pressed a sparking will be heard inside the unit.
This is wet animal circuit operating. This is normal.
bulletDo not submerge in any liquid.
bulletMake sure the back cap is screwed on tight.
bulletTo achieve less stressed animals, apply probe to animal BEFORE pressing button. After probes have made contact, press and hold button. Animal will move at its discomfort level. (Progressive model only)
