High-performance Automated Feeding system
Designed for precision, speed, and reliable operation, optimizing industrial automation and production efficiency.
OUTSTANDING FEATURES
- This Lateral Infeed System ensures uniform feed delivery and good distribution.
- Modular trough / chain layout allowing the system to be configured to fit your floor plan (straight, 90° corners, legs or suspended)
- Durable chain and wear‑resistant components (e.g., large‑link chains, hardened corner wheels, lubrication‑free bearings) to reduce maintenance downtime and feed loss.
- Adjustable feed volume and/or chain speed to match different production/release schedules or feed types.
- Good accessibility for maintenance/cleaning (removable covers, easy corner access) and safe design for operator use.
- Reduced feed wastage by optimized trough design (rounded edges, minimal spillage, even feed flow) combining with chain speed and volume control.
FEATURES






TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
For a system sized ~3 m length × ~2 m width, below are typical numbers you might expect (these will need to be confirmed for the exact “FEED01” unit):
- Trough/chute length: ~3 m (as you specified) and width ~2 m for the feed bed area or footprint.
- Chain conveyor speed: perhaps a range e.g. 10‑40 m/min based on some chain feed systems.
- Drive motor power: e.g., around 0.37‑1.1 kW (for smaller poultry‑feed systems) depending on loading.
- Hopper/feed storage capacity: sizes vary (e.g., 140‑260 kg in some systems) with adjustable shutters.
- Material construction: galvanised steel trough, wear‑resistant chain links, possibly stainless components for aggressive/abrasive feed.
- System footprint/format: For horizontal systems, minimal incline; supports either on legs or suspended; corners available for routing.
- Circuit length: Some chain feeding systems support very long loops (100s of metres) but for a single line (3 m+2 m) your requirement is small so the system will be simpler.
- Control/automation: Manual or timer‑based control; optional variable speed/inverter feed drive.
- Standards / safety: Compliant with machinery directives, low‑voltage, CE etc. (depending on region)
