Hi-Lo and PRO-1 Pan Feeders
1. Introduction
Cumberland’s Hi-Lo Pan Feeder is a revolutionary two-stage feeder bringing together features and
advantages of other systems, and introducing original and effective solutions to some persistent problems
and concerns.
The Pan Feeder System is designed to convey granular or powdered poultry feed from external feed bins
into the poultry house. It utilizes a screw auger to supply feed to Pan Feeders. The auger and pans are
located in the building, and the birds feed directly from it.
Feed is delivered from the feed bin via a feed conveying system such as the Flex-Flo, which is designed
to run in conjunction with the Pan Feeder.
For clean out purposes, the Pan Feeder may be raised up to a high level using a winching system.
This allows clear access to the building.
The Hi-Lo Pan Feeder System is designed for simple installation, though it is recommended that a
specialist be consulted with for the electrical wiring installation.
Because the first 7-10 days of a broiler’s life are critical, the Hi-Lo Pan Feeder rests on the house floor and
presents a lip height of 2.1" (5.334 cm) the average height of traditional “feeder lids”. Young chicks can
easily get in and out of the pan and are eating out of the pan from day one. And because the pan need
not be flooded, they get fresher feed. The Hi-Lo Pan Feeder provides an excellent start for young birds.
As the birds grow, and the feed line is raised, the Hi-Lo Pan Feeder expands into the more easily managed
3.5" (8.89 cm) deep pan.
For larger birds, the higher wall and feed saver lip (wider than the lip currently on the standard grilled
feeder) prevent waste from raking and eliminate bill-out. The additional height also compels the birds to
eat nearer the edge of the pan, assuring a more even “first in, first out” utilization of feed (which both saves
feed and maintains freshness).
Cumberland values customer feedback and suggestions to help determine what features and functions
most enhance the efficiency and profitability of operations. Many of Cumberland’s design and
manufacturing
advantages, including the Hi-Lo Pan Feeder, have been direct responses to customer
comments and suggestions.
