Planning and preparation
DR 1500
Edition: 08/10 M 4021 GB
Depending on the system model, one or two feed channels per system are planned.
5.4 Planification of the feed discharge points
For the discharge of feed, plan definite spots in the feed pipe where feed is discharged
to the automatic feeders and/or troughs. The feed discharge points where drop pipes
with draw-offs or volume dispensers are to be installed are marked at the feed pipe.
Later, the outlet hole is cut into the feed pipe at these marked points and respectively
equipped.
5.5 Planification of the feed supply
The single or dual feed hopper can be located inside the house or outside directly
underneath a silo. Depending on the installation layout, the feed hopper is connected
to the silo, either with a hopper with slide valve, for feed supply via a feed auger, or it
is connected to the silo directly via a sliding valve.
In case of large systems it might be useful to supply with a second system.
Furthermore, there is a possibility to combine a Flex-Vey-feed-transport system by Big
Dutchman with a DR 1500.
5.6 Control unit
The control unit should be installed in the service room so that trouble-free cabling
and power supply of the system is ensured.
