Product catalog summary
Overview
The document describes the Chain Disk feed delivery system, highlighting its rugged design, quality components, and unique control system that enhance its performance in terms of capacity, distance, and durability. It emphasizes the system's gentle conveying method, which minimizes damage to feed and prevents particle separation.

Design and Flexibility
The Chain Disk system is adaptable to various swine production facilities, including farrowing rooms, sow stalls, and large finishing facilities. Its flexible design allows it to overcome the limitations of other systems.

Components and Features
  • Heavy-Duty Drive Units: Made from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel, featuring high-efficiency helical bevel gearboxes that provide more torque with less horsepower.
  • Auto Tensioning: Includes an automatic chain tensioning system and a safety shut-off switch to prevent damage from foreign objects.
  • Clear Corner Housings: Provide visual confirmation of proper operation and include a pivoting wiper to prevent feed accumulation.

System Specifications
  • Tube Fill System: Available in PVC and welded steel tubes, with varying capacities and system lengths depending on the tube type and RPM.
  • Chain Disk Controller: Allows programming of the feeding system, monitors motor current, and includes a programmable maximum run timer.
  • Tube Sensor: Shuts down the system when feeders are full, eliminating challenges in breeding and gestation facilities.

Quality and Durability
The system uses durable, low-friction nylon disks molded onto hardened steel chains, reducing maintenance and downtime.

Additional Features
  • Chain Disk Tubing: Available in PVC for low volume and welded steel for high volume applications.
  • Drops & Drop Feeders: Offers a variety of volumetric sow feeders and outlet drops, including pneumatic actuated units for automated feeding.
