The working process of the ranch series spiral feeder is as follows: Before starting, push the equipment to the designated feeding point through the mobile chassis, and the electric type can automatically drive and position. The operator sets the feeding amount on the control screen. After the feed in the hopper is broken by the vibration motor, the quantitative gate controls the flow rate and falls into the conveying pipe. The motor drives the spiral blade to rotate, lifts the feed along the pipeline and pushes it to the discharge port, and evenly puts it into the feeding trough. During the conveying process, the observation window can monitor the feed status, and the material level sensor monitors the inventory in real time. When it is insufficient, an alarm will be issued to prompt refilling. After the operation is completed, the residual feed is cleaned through the feed cleaning port, and the mobile chassis is folded to quickly transfer to the next feeding point. The whole process is efficient and coherent, and it is adapted to the feeding needs of multiple scenarios on the ranch.
The ranch series spiral feeder is widely used in the field of animal husbandry and related scenarios due to its flexible movement and precise transportation.
Large-scale dairy farms: It can flexibly shuttle between different cow sheds, milking halls and feed warehouses, and accurately deliver silage and mixed concentrate to each feeding trough to meet the feeding needs of dairy cows in different groups.
Modern pig farms: Provide customized feed for piglets and fattening pigs in different areas such as nurseries and fattening houses to prevent feed from spilling and wasting, and keep the pig house environment clean.
Poultry farms: In poultry breeding sheds, quickly deliver granular feed and powdered nutritional additives to the automatic feeding system to ensure that the feed is fresh and hygienic.
Special animal breeding: For special animal breeding sites such as alpacas and deer, the conveying volume can be flexibly adjusted according to the habits and nutritional needs of animals to achieve personalized and precise feeding.
Feed processing workshop: In the feed production process, the crushed and mixed materials are transported from the processing equipment to the storage bin or transport vehicle to complete the material transfer and distribution.
