Come funzionano i moderni sistemi di alimentazione del pollame?
Automatic feeding systems revolutionize poultry farming by delivering precise, efficient feed distribution with minimal labor. Questi sistemi sono costituiti da tre componenti integrati che lavorano in armonia per ottimizzare la gestione della nutrizione.
1. Main Feed Line System
The primary distribution channel from silos to barn
Core Components
- Drive Unit: 0.75-1.5motore KW (220V/380V, IP55 rated)
- Feed Tower: Bulk storage (typically 3-8 ton capacity)
- Delivery Pipe: Ø75mm PVC with 3.75mm wall thickness
- Auger: South African-made spiral spring (3,000kg/h capacity)
- Level Sensor: IFM (Germania) or domestic alternatives
Key Specifications
| PARAMETER | SPECIFICATION |
| Max Conveying Length | 120 meters |
| Throughput Capacity | 3,000 kg/hour |
| Power Consumption | 0.75-1.5 kW (50Hz) |
| Classe di protezione | IP55 (Dust/Water Resistant) |
Operation Principle:
Sensors detect low feed levels → Activate motor-driven auger → Precisely deliver feed to secondary lines → Automatic shutoff when target level reached
2. Secondary Feed Line System
Distributes feed from main line to feeding pans
Critical Elements
- Feed Hopper: 50-120kg capacity (Alu-Mg-Zn coated, 1.2mm thickness)
- Delivery Pipe: 3-4 hole configurations per meter section
- Auger System: 450kg/h capacity (South African spring)
- Suspension Mechanism: 3,500lb-capacity winch system
Technical Data
- Pipe Diameter: Ø45mm hot-dip galvanized steel
- Wall Thickness: 1.2mm
- Motor Options: 0.75/1.1/1.5kW (same as main line)
3. Feeding Terminal System
Final delivery to poultry
Pan Specifications
- Materiale: High-impact PVC (one-piece molding)
- Capacità: 2-3kg (serves 40-50 birds)
- Design Features:
- 14 feed grids for uniform distribution
- Anti-jam construction
- Easy-disassembly cleaning
Drive System Highlights
- Copper Motor: Low-noise, high-temperature resistant
- 6-8 Speed Settings: Adjustable for growth stages
- PLC Control: Fully automated operation
