Today’s complex multi-ration feeding programs demand complete flexibility in feed delivery. Twisting and turning through multiple farrowing rooms while delivering feed to AP’s Farrowing Drop Tube Feeders present no challenge to the AP Chain Disk Feed Delivery System.
Chain Disk       The Chain Disk Feed Delivery System delivers feed "en masse" decreasing feed particle separation and damage to expensive pelleted feeds. Polypropylene plastic disks are injection molded around heavy-duty welded chain. Connection links are simple and secure.
Drive Unit       A single chain disk drive unit powers up to 900 ft. of chain delivering feed at up to 50lbs./minute. The drive unit housing is constructed of 304 stainless steel to provide years of durable service. Correct chain tension is automatically adjusted by a spring loaded tensioning wheel.
Corners       Corners have a tight radius allowing the system to turn 180° in a 24" space. Corners can be installed horizontally or vertically for maximum versatility. A cast metal wheel gently guides the chain through the corner.
Drop Kits       Drop kits are specially designed for total cleanout. Shut-offs can be adapted with actuators for automated multi-ration feeding systems. The system can also adapt to volumetric drop feeders for farrowing and gestation.
