Chain Feeding System

4. Introduction and Control Panel
Overview of the System
The Chain Feeder System is designed to convey granular or powdered poultry feed from external feed
bins into the poultry house. It utilizes a continuous chain conveyor running in the bottom of a trough. The
trough is laid in the building and birds can feed directly from it.
The system is generally controlled from one or more time switches, set by the user, to run the system for
a set period of time at regular intervals. Feed is delivered from the feed bin via a feed conveying system
such as the GSI Flex-Flo, which is designed to run in conjunction with the Chain Feeder.
For cleaning out, the Chain Feeder may be raised up to a high level using the GSI winching system
designed for this purpose. This allows clear access to the building.
The Chain Feeder System is designed for simple installation, though it is recommended that an electrician
installs the all electrical needs.
Cumberland’s
Chain Feeder System
represents the classic, proven technique for even, low-stress
distribution of feed providing equal access to feed to all birds and encouraging uniform development.
With its full range of grill patterns, trough designs and connection, suspension and hopper options; the
Cumberland Chain Feeder System can be specifically configured to meet the particular needs of the
individual grower and house layout in a system that incorporates all the proven operational advantages of
chain feeding.
Control Panel
The Cumberland Chain Feeder System is operated electronically. The
standard speed system
(60' per minute) uses either a 24 hour pin clock or a 24 hour digital clock, both of which can be
pre-programmed to control all feeding and fill systems from the weigh bin to the house to the feeder itself.
The
high speed system
(up to 120' per minute) features a programmable
variable speed control, a soft
start capability
and
a digital readout
displaying current operating status. The high speed controller can be
fitted with an optional
gradual slow down
, but both systems can be run manually as well as off the clock.
