DIRECTIONS FOR OPERATING THE SYSTEM
PUTTING THE SYSTEM INTO USE
The oil on the new auger and the tubes will slow up feed
transport at the beginning.
When using a new feeder line for the first time, fill up the
hopper with 25kgs of feed.
NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS INTO
THE FEED INTAKE BOOT WHILE
FILLING THE PANS.
DANGER
Switch on the feeder until this feed is distributed. Repeat
this procedure until the whole line is filled. By doing so:
- you limit the load on the motor of a long feeder line.
- at the same time, you test the switches and make sure
that the feeder line has been properly installed.
- you become used to the system.
If instead there are small marks of rust either on the inside
of the tube as on the auger, we advise to mix the first 5kg
of feed with a portion (
¦
1
/
4
l) of maize oil. This to avoid the
noise and trembling during the starting up.
CONTROL UNIT
The last feeder pan on the line (the control pan) is the
most important one. It must be emptied first because it
starts the next feed supply. Take care that there are
enough birds eating from this pan.
Birds are sensitive to light, moisture, draught and
temperature. They will shun places with an environment
deviating from the average.
Keep the pan free of litter and manure. It has to be the most
attractive pan on the line. Take care that temperature,
moisture, ventilation are constant at this location.
More birds will feed from the control pans if you install
them at a distance of 2-3m from the end wall. The same
remark goes for the outside line (next to the side walls).
OPTION
In order to make the control pan more attractive for the
birds, Roxell offers a LED light kit which fits on the CoMeo
both for intermediate and end control units.
This light is positioned inside the control unit which
ensures an optimal light dispersion inside the feeding
pan. Attracting the birds to the control unit will guarantee a
completely filled feeding line and feeding pans.
Inform the technically trained person:
- to connect the LED light to the light in the house,
ensuring the LED and house lights are lit
simultaneously, or
- For
US:
to connect the LED light to the motor, ensuring
the LED light is lit when the motor is in operation.
FILLING THE HOPPERS
The drop tube of the feeder line furthest from the bin is
equipped with a level switch.
This level switch controls the feed supply from the bin.
If, for certain reasons, the last line is not enough used by
the birds, it is possible that the other lines might run
empty. This can be prevented by using a time clock.
The time clock should be set such that the feeder is
regularly emptied or decreased to a low feed level.
However, you can help to ensure that enough birds eat
from the last line by taking care of :
- ventilation
- house structure
- insulation
- litter
- distribution of feeders and drinkers.
When planned correctly, you will have a very even spread
of the birds over the whole floor area of the house.
USING THE SYSTEM WITH ONE DAY OLD
CHICKS
1. Suspend the 100kg hopper at the correct height.
The weight of the filled hopper will stretch the main
cable to which the chain is fixed when the installation
is new.
The connection between the hopper and the first
feeder tube will then no longer be level. This can result
in premature wear and/or failures.
If necessary, shift suspension one or more links to
level the line.
When a hopper support is available :
- it enables correct and easy positioning of the
hopper,
- this way premature wearing out of the tubes is
avoided,
- it prevents the first pan from collapsing, and the
following pans can be used optimally
2. Put ALL pans on the floor before placing the one day
olds. Then scatter the litter around the pans.
Take care that all feed windows open simultaneously
and completely.
Now the suspension cords of the tubes are suitably
stretched.
As the pans sink deeper into the litter after a few days,
the windows will remain completely open.
The suspensions of hopper and control unit must also
be suitably stretched.
3. Warm up the house and the litter at least 24 hours
before placing the birds.
Fill all pans with feed.
One pan with open windows holds about 1,050kg -
about 0,7kg with closed windows.
The feeder line starts automatically as soon as the
control pan is empty, so all pans are filled.
You can feed automatically from the first day on.
4. The point in time to operate with closed feed windows
will depend upon the starting weight of the day old
chicks (DOC).
We recommend to close the feed windows between
the the 5th. and the 7
th.
day depending on this starting
weight.
Winch up the feeder line until all windows are closed.
Attention : all pans are still sitting on the floor !
Birds get used to the lower feed level. Raise the feeder
lines a little some days after closing the feed windows.
Pans swing and the feed is better spread.
Winch up the feeder lines gradually as the birds grow.
The back/neck of the birds (even the smallest) must
be slightly bent over while eating.
Correct operation will help you to prevent feed waste.
