semi-automatic volumetric pig feed dispenser
Product Overview The Semi-Automatic Pig Feed Dispenser is an adjustable volumetric unit for controlled dry-feed delivery at individual feeding points. Installed beneath an overhead feed distribution line, it receives feed into a chamber set to the required ration volume. An operator or compatible centralized release system then opens the outlet so the portion falls through a drop pipe into the trough. It is suited to rationed feeding in commercial sow and pig production facilities.
Key Features
  • Adjustable ration volume: Operators can set portions to match the feeding program.
  • Visible feed level: A transparent chamber supports quick inspection during barn rounds.
  • Controlled release: The lower opening delivers the measured portion to the trough.
  • System integration: Multiple units can be arranged along a compatible chain or auger feed line.
  • Accessible construction: The chamber and release mechanism can be inspected and cleaned during routine maintenance.
Structural Components Typical components include a feed-line inlet, transparent dosing chamber, volume adjustment mechanism, lower hopper, release flap or gate, and drop-pipe connection. Mounting adapters and a manual, mechanical or compatible centralized release linkage are selected according to the feed-line and control arrangement.
Working Principle Dry feed enters the dispenser from the overhead line and fills the chamber to its preset volume. At feeding time, the release mechanism opens and the measured feed falls through the outlet and drop pipe into the trough. The outlet closes before the next filling cycle. The delivered weight depends on feed bulk density and flow characteristics, so the volume setting should be checked with the farm’s actual ration.
Technical Specifications
  • Product type: Adjustable volumetric dry-feed dispenser.
  • Dosing capacity: Customizable according to project requirements.
  • Feed-line and drop-pipe connections: Available upon request.
  • Ration adjustment: Manual volumetric setting.
  • Release arrangement: Manual, mechanical or compatible centralized control.
  • Suitable feed: Free-flowing dry pig feed; compatibility to be confirmed for the selected formulation.
Applications Suitable for rationed dry feeding at sow gestation stalls, farrowing positions and other compatible individual pig feeding points. Dispensers can be incorporated into new pig farm construction or feeding-system renovation projects where overhead distribution lines serve rows of troughs.
Customization Options Dosing range, feed-line adapter, outlet connection, release method and mounting arrangement can be specified for the barn. For steel structure pig buildings, dispenser spacing and pipe supports should be coordinated with pen partitions, trough locations and the overhead feed-line route.
Installation & Maintenance Mount each unit beneath the compatible overhead feed line and align its drop pipe with the trough. Secure the connectors and release linkage, then test filling, adjustment and complete discharge using the farm’s feed. During routine service, remove accumulated feed, check that the gate moves freely and inspect clamps, pipes and support brackets.
Product FAQ

Does the dispenser measure feed by weight?
The standard operating principle is volumetric. Check the discharged weight with the actual feed when setting rations.

Can several units release feed together?
A compatible centralized release arrangement can be specified according to the feeding-system design.

Is this a mobile electric feed cart?
This product is a fixed feed-line dispenser. Electrical operation, where required, belongs to the selected feed-conveying or release system.
