Feeding

Functioning of the automatic feeder
8.1.1
Feed preparation
During feed preparation the liquid components are dispensed
first. As soon as the liquid in the mixer jar touches the bar elec-
trode, milk powder will be dispensed from the powder hopper
into the mixer jar. There, the portion is intensely mixed.
The warm water needed to prepare the portion is extracted from
the boiler. The warm milk is pumped through the stainless steel
coil of the heat exchanger into the mixer jar.
The circulation pump keeps the warm boiler water moving at
high speed thus effecting a rapid heat transfer to the liquid in the
stainless steel coil. The circulation pump is active when an ani-
mal is consuming a feed portion or when the calibration or a
cleaning process are being carried out. If no feed has been con-
sumed, the circulation pump will be actuated every 15 minutes
for 30 seconds.
8.1.2
Feed dispense
The feed can be dispensed at the stations either in the
parallel
or the
priority mode
. Whereas in the
parallel mode
several ani-
mals can be simultaneously fed at different stations, in the
prior-
ity mode
only one animal at a time can be fed.
Note
: Please consider the documentation of the periph-
eral devices, if required.
