Chain Disc Feed System | Automatic Pig Feed Line

• Chain and carrier disc assembly
• Enclosed feed conveying pipes
• Electric drive unit
• Feed receiving hopper
• Corner wheel assemblies
• Feed drop outlets and valves
• Feed silo connection unit
• Automatic control cabinet and sensors

• Enclosed Feed Transport: Closed conveying pipes help reduce feed contamination, dust exposure and spillage during transport.
• Chain Disc Conveying: Carrier discs move dry feed smoothly through the pipe while supporting stable delivery over complex farm layouts.
• Modular System Design: Straight pipes, corners, drops and drive components can be combined for different barn structures.
• Automatic Operation: Timers, feed sensors and centralized controllers can start and stop the conveying line automatically.
• Multiple Feeding Points: One conveying circuit can distribute feed to multiple dispensers or feeders along the pig house.
• Flexible Routing: Suitable for horizontal conveying, elevation changes and layouts requiring multiple corners.
• Reduced Feed Waste: Controlled enclosed transport helps minimize feed loss during delivery.
• Durable Components: Hardened chain, wear-resistant carrier discs and robust corner assemblies are designed for long-term farm operation.
• Low Routine Maintenance: Simple mechanical construction provides convenient inspection, adjustment and component replacement.
• New Farm & Retrofit Use: Suitable for both newly constructed pig houses and upgrades of existing feeding systems.

Conveying capacities and pipe sizes are typical industry references. Final specifications depend on feed density, particle size, conveying distance, elevation, number of corners, feeding points and overall farm layout.

• Check chain tension before commissioning and during routine inspections.
• Keep the receiving hopper and feed inlet free from foreign material.
• Inspect carrier discs and chain links periodically for abnormal wear or damage.
• Check corner wheels, bearings and housings for smooth rotation.
• Inspect conveying pipe joints and supports for movement or looseness.
• Keep feed drop outlets clean and verify that valves operate correctly.
• Inspect the drive motor, gearbox and transmission components according to the maintenance schedule.
• Test feed sensors, limit switches and control devices regularly.
• Avoid operating the system with wet, caked or unsuitable feed.
• Clean and inspect the complete feed circuit between production cycles when required.

What is a chain disc feed system?
It is an enclosed dry-feed conveying system that uses a continuous chain fitted with carrier discs to move feed through pipes from a silo or hopper to multiple feeding points.

Can the system transport feed directly from an outdoor silo?
Yes. The receiving unit can be installed beneath or near a feed silo and connected to the conveying circuit supplying the pig house.

What types of feed can be conveyed?
The system is mainly designed for suitable dry feed, including mash, pellets and granular feed. Final configuration should match the feed characteristics.

Can one feed line supply multiple pig pens?
Yes. Multiple feed drops can be installed along the conveying circuit to supply dispensers, feeders or hoppers in different pens.

Can the conveying line include corners and elevation changes?
Yes. Corner wheel assemblies allow the system to follow different barn layouts. The number of corners and total conveying distance should be considered during system design.

Can the system operate automatically?
Yes. Timers, feed level sensors and centralized controllers can be used to operate the feeding line according to a programmed schedule or feed demand.

Is the system suitable for existing pig houses?
Yes. Its modular design makes it suitable for both new pig farm construction and retrofit projects, subject to available installation space and barn layout.

How do I select the correct pipe size and conveying capacity?
Selection depends on daily feed demand, feed type, required delivery rate, conveying distance, elevation, number of corners and number of feeding points.

What information is required for a quotation?
Please provide the pig type and farm capacity, pig-house length and width, number of pens and feed drops, feed silo location, required conveying distance, feed type, local voltage and preferred control method.
