Pages 12 - 18
The BinTrac Breeder Control System allows the user to select the amount of feed required for the day. The BinTrac
Breeder Control System controls a conveying system to deliver feed from the Inventory Bin to the Weigh Bin. The
Weigh Bin weighs the feed delivered and the BinTrac Breeder Control System stops the delivery when the required
amount of feed has been delivered to the Weigh Bin. In this configuration, the system batches into the weigh bin until
the total weight (gross weight) equals the target batch amount.
