Introduction

The Disc Feed Transport System is a modern and efficient feed delivery solution designed for poultry, pig, and livestock farms. This system uses a continuous disc chain or cable transport line to deliver feed automatically from the silo to multiple feeding points. It eliminates the need for manual feeding, ensuring uniform feed distribution, reduced labor costs, and improved production efficiency.

With the growing demand for automation in livestock production, the Disc Feed Transport System has become an essential component of modern poultry and pig farm management. It allows precise feed delivery, minimizes waste, and ensures each animal receives the appropriate feed quantity. The system is especially effective for breeders, layers, and broilers, as well as for pig farms where consistent feed distribution is critical.

By integrating advanced technology, durable materials, and intelligent control systems, the Disc Feed Transport System enhances feeding accuracy, maintains feed freshness, and optimizes farm operations. Whether installed in large-scale poultry farms or small breeding facilities, it provides a reliable, long-term feeding solution.

Technical Parameters

Features of Disc Feed Transport System

1. Automatic Feed Delivery

The system automatically transfers feed from the storage silo to the feeding pans or troughs, ensuring consistent feeding schedules and uniform feed distribution across all stations.

2. Closed-Loop Design

The closed-loop disc chain or cable system prevents feed contamination and protects against external elements such as dust, pests, and moisture. This ensures feed hygiene and freshness.

3. High Durability

Made from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel and reinforced nylon, the system withstands continuous operation in harsh farm environments and guarantees long service life.

4. Easy Installation and Maintenance

Modular components allow for flexible installation, and maintenance requires minimal tools. The system design reduces downtime and simplifies operation.

5. Adaptable System Layout

The feed transport route can be designed in straight lines, curves, or vertical sections depending on the building layout. It easily adapts to any farm design.

6. Energy-Efficient Operation

Low-power motors drive the feed discs efficiently, reducing energy consumption while maintaining high transport capacity.

7. Intelligent Control

The system can be integrated with automatic feeding controllers, sensors, and timers for smart feed management, ensuring precise feeding amounts and schedules.

8. Multi-Feed Compatibility

It supports various feed types, including pellets, mash, and crumbles, without clogging or feed breakage.

Advantages of Disc Feed Transport System

1. Labor Saving

Automation eliminates the need for manual feed delivery, reducing labor requirements and operational costs significantly.

2. Uniform Feed Distribution

Each feeding point receives equal feed, which helps maintain consistent animal growth and prevents feed competition among livestock.

3. Reduced Feed Waste

Controlled feed transport and dispensing minimize spillage and feed loss, leading to cost savings over time.

4. Improved Feed Hygiene

The enclosed pipeline system prevents contamination, mold growth, and feed degradation due to moisture or pests.

5. Enhanced Productivity

Automated feeding improves efficiency, allowing farmers to manage large-scale operations with minimal manual intervention.

6. Long-Term Reliability

The mechanical design and durable materials ensure the system operates reliably for years, even under heavy-duty usage.

7. Flexible Application

Suitable for a wide range of farm environments — from poultry breeder houses to pig nursery barns and layer farms.

8. Consistent Feed Supply

Automatic feed transport guarantees timely feeding, ensuring animals receive a constant and balanced nutrition supply.

Application Scenarios

1. Poultry Breeder Farms

In breeder houses, the Disc Feed Transport System ensures precise feed portions and feeding times, which is crucial for maintaining optimal breeder performance and fertility.

2. Broiler Farms

For broiler production, the system provides continuous feed delivery to all lines, promoting even growth and maximizing feed conversion efficiency.

3. Layer Farms

Layers require stable feed supply for egg production. The system ensures consistent feeding intervals and balanced distribution, improving laying rate and egg quality.

4. Pig Farms

In pig production, especially in nursery and finishing units, the system supports automatic feed transport, reducing labor intensity and maintaining uniform feed supply.

5. Multi-Barn Farms

The Disc Feed Transport System can connect multiple barns or sections to a single silo, ensuring centralized feeding management for large-scale operations.

6. Feed Distribution Centers

Ideal for automated feed delivery in industrial livestock production facilities where precision and efficiency are critical.

Usage Instructions

1. System Setup
   Install the feed silo, feeding lines, and disc transport pipeline according to the barn layout. Ensure all components are securely mounted and aligned.

2. Power Connection
   Connect the motor and control panel to the power supply (220V/380V). Verify that all electrical connections meet safety standards.

3. Feed Loading
   Load feed into the silo or hopper. Ensure feed type is compatible with the disc transport mechanism.

4. System Start-Up
   Turn on the motor and observe the feed movement through the transport pipeline. Adjust transport speed if needed.

5. Feeding Adjustment
   Set feeding intervals and duration using the control panel or automated feeding controller.

6. Routine Maintenance
   Regularly inspect the discs, chains, and motor. Lubricate moving parts and clean feed residues to prevent clogging.

7. Safety Measures
   Always disconnect power before performing maintenance. Keep the system clean and dry to prevent electrical hazards.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean feed pipelines weekly to avoid feed buildup.

• Check the tightness of the chain or cable regularly.

• Replace worn discs or connectors promptly.

• Monitor motor temperature and ensure proper ventilation.

• Periodically calibrate sensors for accurate feeding control.
