Automatic Feeding System for Swine/Hog Barns (Chain-Disk & Flex-Auger)

Closed, even feed delivery across rooms and pens. We size loop length, drops, corners, pipe diameter (60/75/90 mm), throughput (kg/min), and silo capacity to match your diet and daily cycles.

Quick Value

Even distribution, less labor: sealed conveyance keeps feed clean and fresh at each drop.
Built to your route: from silo-to-room runs to multi-room loops with many corners.
Automation-ready: timed / level / recipe feeding with dispenser integration.

System Options — Automatic Feeding Solutions

Chain-Disk (looped): best for multi-room loops with many 90° corners; stable delivery and fast visual checks with transparent corners/covers.
Flex-Auger (direct runs): robust transfers from silo to rooms; pick 75/90 mm for higher capacities and longer runs.

Automatic Feeding System Core Components

Core Components & Accessories

Corners & Inspection: aluminum 90°, stainless 90°/180°, transparent corners for quick visual checks.
Connectors & Routing: 60/75 pipe connectors, split couplers, hangers/supports; smooth transitions reduce wear.
Drops & Dosing: drop tees (three-way), square dosing cups, round dosing cups—adjustable volumetric delivery at pen level.
Hoppers & Flow Aids: motor-end hopper, single-pipe vibrating hopper to prevent bridging at critical points.
Drive & Control: drive station, chain tensioning (chain-disk), auger motor (flex-auger), control cabinet (timed/level/recipe).
Silos: galvanized bins sized to consumption and refill frequency; guarded ladders and outlet options.

Primary focus is swine/hog. Many components are cross-compatible with poultry/dairy feed lines—confirm diameter and interfaces before mixed-species use.

Sizing & Layout — Quick Rules

Start with demand: pigs served, diet form (meal/pellet), target throughput (kg/min) and cycles/day.
Map the route: loop length (m), drops/room, corners/elevation; pick chain-disk for complex loops, flex-auger for direct higher-rate runs.
Choose diameter: 60/75/90 mm by required capacity and run length; verify against diet density and friction.
Design for service: include transparent corners near drives/turns; plan tensioning/inspection access up front.

Sizing & Layout — Quick Rules

Verify against your feed bulk density, refill frequency, and structural limits.

Aspect	Earmuffs	Earplugs
Noise Isolation Effect	NRR 20–37 dB, excels in low-frequency rumbles	NRR 22–33 dB, better for high-frequency whines
Comfort and Wear Time	Over-ear, comfortable for 8+ hours, breathable liners	Compact, best for short shifts, may cause pressure
Usage Scenarios	Industrial sites, easy to clean, reusable	Travel or offices, portable, disposable

FAQs

Chain-Disk vs Flex-Auger—how do I decide?

Use route complexity and capacity targets: chain-disk for multi-room loops with many corners; flex-auger for direct higher-rate runs from silo to rooms.

How do I pick 60/75/90 mm?

Select by required kg/min and run length/diet density. Larger diameters handle higher rates and longer loops; we confirm on drawings.

Do transparent corners really help?

Yes—fast visual checks catch early wear or bridging and shorten maintenance stops.

Can I run by timer, level, or recipe?

All three. The control cabinet integrates sensors and programmed cycles; dosing cups handle volumetric delivery at each drop.

Is this only for pigs?

The system is optimized for swine/hog barns. Many parts fit poultry/dairy lines—check diameter and interfaces first.

What documents do I receive?

Project-matched CAD/PDF layout, BOQ, commissioning notes, and QC/inspection records.
