360° Dosing Automatic Nursery Feeder

The 360° Dosing Automatic Nursery Feeder is designed for commercial piglet rearing where reliable feed flow, convenient adjustment and efficient use of pen space are required. A pig-operated pivoting dosing mechanism releases feed from the hopper into the stainless steel trough as animals interact with the feeder.

The 360-degree dosing movement helps maintain consistent feed discharge with meal, pellets or crumble feed. Integrated drinking nipples allow feed and water to be available at one compact feeding station.

The feeder can be installed as a standalone unit inside the pen or integrated into a pen partition and can be filled manually or connected to an automatic dry-feed distribution system.

• 360° pivoting feed-dosing mechanism operated easily by pigs.
• Designed for nursery pigs and commercial weaner production.
• Suitable for pellets, crumbles and meal feed.
• Adjustable feed discharge supports different pig sizes and feed characteristics.
• Transparent hopper allows quick visual monitoring of feed level.
• 100 L and high-capacity 200 L reference hopper configurations.
• Integrated drinking nipples provide convenient water access.
• Optional circulating water pipe helps maintain cleaner drinking lines.
• Feed-saving collar helps limit feed pushed out of the trough.
• Deep stainless steel trough provides durability and hygienic feeding.
• Raised trough design simplifies cleaning underneath the feeder.
• Optional hopper agitator helps reduce feed bridging.

• Transparent Feed Hopper: Stores dry feed and allows visual inspection of remaining feed.
• Folding Hopper Lid: Provides convenient access for inspection and manual filling.
• 360° Dosing Mechanism: Pivoting unit releases feed when activated by pigs.
• Feed Adjustment System: Controls feed discharge according to ration type and consumption.
• Feed-Saving Collar: Helps reduce feed pushed or rooted out of the feeding area.
• Stainless Steel Trough: Provides a durable and corrosion-resistant feeding surface.
• Drinking Nipples: Provide water at the feeding station.
• Water Circulation Pipe: Optional configuration supports continuous water circulation.
• Hopper Agitator: Optional component helps prevent feed bridging.
• Support Frame: Stabilizes the hopper, trough and dosing assembly.
• Mounting Feet: Allow secure floor or partition installation.

Dry feed flows from the hopper toward the central dosing unit. When pigs move the 360° pivoting mechanism, a controlled amount of feed is released into the trough.

The freely moving dosing unit allows pigs to activate feed discharge from different directions and helps maintain feed movement through the outlet. Feed quantity can be adjusted to match pig age, consumption rate and feed characteristics.

Drinking nipples positioned within the feeding station provide water access, while excess water can drain through the trough drainage opening instead of accumulating excessively around the feed.

Installation:

• Confirm pig numbers, feeder capacity, flooring type and pen layout before installation.
• Install the feeder as a standalone unit or position it securely within the pen partition.
• Level and anchor the feeder frame to a structurally suitable floor.
• Connect the dry-feed drop pipe when automatic filling is required.
• Connect the drinking-water supply and optional circulation pipe.
• Check each drinking nipple for correct flow and leakage.
• Set the feed opening according to pig size and feed characteristics.
• Confirm free 360° movement of the dosing mechanism before introducing pigs.

Maintenance:

• Inspect the pivoting dosing unit regularly for free movement.
• Remove stale or excessively wet feed from the trough when required.
• Keep the hopper dry and inspect for feed bridging.
• Check the optional agitator and feed outlet periodically.
• Inspect drinking nipples and water lines for blockage or leakage.
• Clean beneath the raised stainless steel trough during routine washing.
• Inspect mounting points and structural components periodically.
• Wash and disinfect between production groups according to farm biosecurity procedures.

Q: What is the advantage of the 360° dosing mechanism?
A: Pigs can move the dosing unit from different directions, which supports reliable feed discharge and convenient animal operation.

Q: What pig size is the feeder suitable for?
A: Comparable nursery configurations are designed for weaners from approximately 8 kg.

Q: How many pigs can one feeder serve?
A: Reference configurations serve up to approximately 40 weaners, while larger versions can serve approximately 70-80 animals depending on local regulations and management conditions.

Q: What feed types can be used?
A: The feeder is suitable for pellets, crumble feed and meal.

Q: What hopper capacities are available?
A: Common reference hopper sizes are 100 L and 200 L.

Q: Can it connect to an automatic feeding system?
A: Yes. The feeder can be supplied manually or connected to a commercial dry-feed distribution system.

Q: Can the feeder be installed in a pen partition?
A: Yes. It can be installed within a partition or positioned as a standalone feeder inside the pen.

Q: Is an anti-bridging system available?
A: Yes. An optional agitator can be installed inside the hopper to help maintain reliable feed flow.

Q: What information is required for a quotation?
A: Please provide pig weight range, pigs per pen, feeder quantity, feed type, hopper capacity, flooring type, pen layout, feed-line arrangement, water conditions and project location.
