As the chain drive is always detached from the feed hopper, the feeding system can be easily adapted to any house situation.

High chain speed of 36 m/min.

Motor output of 1.1/1.5 or 2.2 kW, depending on the chain length.

The CHALLENGER feed chain conveys large quantities of feed at a very high conveying speed.

2 t/h conveying capacity.

High tensile strength.

Smooth chain operation within the channel.

Open system for easy maintenance.

Quality is a prerequisite for trouble-free operation. The specially-designed corner wheel is extremely reliable.

Fully hardened guide rail.

Lubrication-free bearing made of plastic for a long service life.

Wear-resistant bottom (Hardox 400).

Rearing:

360° flooding mechanism makes for a high feed level in the pan when the entire circuit is lowered to the floor, which is ideal for day-old chicks.

Simple and reliable, one-handed adjustment of the feed level in eleven steps by means of a 3-screw thread, i.e. the feed level cannot be readjusted accidentally.

Flat, sectioned pan dish for good distribution of feed in the pan and reduced feed wastage.

Integrated volume reducer allows for small feed rations in each pan and thus for fast and simultaneous filling of all pans in a circuit.

Production:

16 feeding windows per pan allow for a high stocking density.

Circular arrangement of hens around the pan → 60 percent more birds can be fed per running metre compared to a linear trough.

Special „female only“ FO grille allows for adjustment of eleven feeding windows, additional level ring for four feeding window height.

→ 44 setting options

→ ideally suited for all breeds

→ good access to feed for day-old chicks in day-old-to-death production

→ males have no access to the feed;

Ideal illumination of the pan due to openings in the pan top, making it easy for the hens to see the feed.
