| Product Overview | The Semi-Automatic Feed Dispenser is a stationary volumetric dosing unit for restricted dry feeding in commercial pig houses. Installed beneath an overhead feed-distribution line, it receives a portion of feed into an adjustable chamber and releases it through a lower outlet to the trough. Farm staff can set the ration at each feeding position, while a compatible linkage or control arrangement can coordinate discharge across multiple dispensers. The unit is suited to sow gestation and farrowing facilities that require repeatable individual feed portions. |
| Key Features |
|
| Structural Components | A typical unit consists of a feed-line inlet, transparent dosing chamber, volume-adjustment mechanism, lower discharge gate, outlet connection and mounting hardware. A drop pipe guides the released feed to the trough. Depending on the system design, the discharge gate can be operated individually or connected to a compatible centralized release mechanism. |
| Working Principle | Dry feed travels through the overhead line and fills the dispenser. The chamber setting determines the portion retained for the next feeding. At the scheduled feeding time, the discharge mechanism opens and the measured feed falls through the outlet and drop pipe into the trough. The gate then closes before the next filling cycle. Actual feed mass varies with bulk density and flow characteristics, so ration settings should be checked with the feed used on the farm. |
| Technical Specifications |
|
| Applications | Designed for gestation stalls, farrowing crates and other individual feeding positions in commercial sow farms. Dispensers can be incorporated into overhead chain or auger feeding layouts during pig farm construction, steel structure building installation or an existing sow-house feeding-system upgrade. |
| Customization Options | Dosing range, feed-line adapter, outlet connection, drop-pipe layout, mounting arrangement and release mechanism can be selected according to project requirements. Specify the number of feeding positions, feed type, pipe dimensions, trough locations and desired operating method when planning the system. |
| Installation & Maintenance | Mount each dispenser securely beneath the overhead feed line and align its outlet with the intended trough. Check the inlet, drop pipe and release linkage before commissioning. Set the initial chamber volume, run a filling and discharge cycle, and weigh sample portions to confirm the ration. During routine service, remove feed buildup, inspect the gate and adjustment mechanism, and check pipe connections and supports for wear or looseness. |
| Product FAQ |
Does this dispenser handle liquid feed? Can the ration be changed? Is it a mobile feed cart? |
