Introduction

The Poultry Feed Disc System is an advanced automated feeding solution widely used in poultry farms to deliver feed uniformly and efficiently. Designed with a disc-driven conveyor mechanism, this system transports feed from a central silo or hopper directly to multiple feeding points, ensuring every bird has consistent access to fresh feed. This technology significantly improves feeding efficiency, reduces labor costs, and enhances poultry health and productivity.

In modern poultry farming, timely and uniform feeding is crucial for optimal growth, egg production, and flock health. Manual feeding can be inconsistent and labor-intensive, leading to feed wastage and uneven nutrition. The Poultry Feed Disc System addresses these challenges by automating feed delivery with precision and reliability, making it an essential component in breeder houses, broiler farms, and layer houses.

This system is valued for its durable construction, easy maintenance, and ability to handle various feed types, such as pellets, mash, and crumbles. Whether you operate a small-scale farm or a large commercial poultry house, the Poultry Feed Disc System is tailored to meet your specific feeding needs.

Technical Parameters

Features of Poultry Feed Disc System

1. Automated Feed Transport

The system uses a continuous disc chain or cable to transport feed from the central silo to the feeding pans or troughs, ensuring an uninterrupted feed supply throughout the poultry house.

2. Closed-Loop System

The feed is conveyed in a closed pipeline, protecting it from dust, moisture, and pests, which maintains feed hygiene and freshness.

3. Durable Construction

Built with corrosion-resistant materials such as galvanized steel and reinforced nylon discs, the system withstands harsh farm conditions and ensures long service life.

4. Flexible Layout

The system can be configured with straight lines, curves, and vertical sections to suit various barn designs and sizes.

5. Energy Efficiency

Powered by energy-saving motors, the system operates with low electricity consumption, even during continuous feeding cycles.

6. Smart Control Options

With sensor integration and programmable controllers, feeding times and quantities can be precisely managed to meet specific flock needs.

7. Multi-Feed Compatibility

Designed to handle different feed types without clogging or feed damage, ensuring flexibility in feed selection.

Advantages of Poultry Feed Disc System

1. Reduced Labor Costs

Automation reduces the need for manual feed delivery, freeing staff for other farm management tasks.

2. Uniform Feed Distribution

Ensures all birds receive equal feed portions, promoting even growth and preventing feed competition.

3. Minimized Feed Waste

Controlled feed transport and delivery reduce spillage and overfeeding, leading to better feed utilization.

4. Improved Feed Hygiene

Enclosed feed delivery protects feed from contamination, enhancing flock health and reducing disease risks.

5. Increased Production Efficiency

Continuous, automated feeding ensures optimal nutrition, supporting faster growth and higher egg production.

6. Easy Maintenance

Modular system components simplify cleaning, inspection, and repairs, reducing downtime.

7. Adaptability

Customizable layouts and control settings accommodate different farm sizes and operational requirements.

Application Scenarios

1. Broiler Farms

The system delivers consistent feed to broilers, supporting rapid weight gain and uniform flock development.

2. Layer Farms

Ensures layers receive timely, balanced nutrition essential for high egg yield and quality.

3. Breeder Houses

Precise feed control supports breeder health, fertility, and hatchability.

4. Multi-Barn Operations

Can feed multiple poultry houses simultaneously with centralized feed control.

5. Climate-Controlled Houses

The closed system design complements controlled environments by maintaining feed quality and cleanliness.

Usage Instructions

1. Installation

• Install the central silo and position the feed disc conveyor according to the poultry house layout.

2. Power Connection

• Connect the motor to the appropriate power source (220V or 380V).

• Set up control panels and program feeding schedules.

3. Feed Loading

• Load suitable feed types into the silo.

• Avoid overfilling to prevent feed blockage.

4. Operation

• Start the system using the control panel.

• Monitor feed flow and adjust speed or feeding intervals as needed.

5. Maintenance

• Regularly clean feed pipelines and feeding pans.

• Lubricate motor and moving parts.

• Inspect discs and chain tension, adjusting or replacing components when necessary.

6. Safety

• Disconnect power before maintenance.

• Keep electrical components dry and protected.

• Train personnel on system operation and safety protocols.

Maintenance Tips

• Weekly: Clean feeding pipelines and pans to avoid feed residue buildup.

• Monthly: Lubricate motor and mechanical parts.

• Quarterly: Check chain tension and disc condition; replace worn parts.

• Annually: Perform a full system inspection and overhaul to ensure optimal performance.
