Layout Examples | Belt Feeder Success Stories
Elevate feed and then convey level with an adjustable decline elbow (0° - 30°). The belt stays concave with a deep trough when passing over the elbow for maximum capacity. (Model 8912 shown above.)
Choose 12-inch or 16-inch belt with concave, deep-trough design for maximum capacity. Customized lengths up to 120 feet (Model 8912) and 100 feet (Model 8916 shown above).
The one-way floating plow drops feed off one side of the feeder only, but can feed up to two lots different rations by using the 2-motor drive feeder.
Open-pan design provides deep trough for extra capacity and reduces belt friction for lower power requirements. Fin pulley helps avoid feed buildup.
The two-way floating plow can plow off either side of the belt and is also used if you wish to reverse the belt for adding feed at various points. A remote electrical control is used to switch feeding from one side of the bunk to the other. Feed up to four lots different rations by using a 2-motor drive feeder and a plow drive assembly. An optional deflector on the plow drops feed closer to the feeder.
One motor (2 or 3 hp.) drives both the belt and plow (roller-chain drive) to feed one lot, or to feed two lots different rations when the bunk is split lengthwise. The plow reverses around a pulley automatically and smoothly at each end of the feeder with continuous-loop cable drive.
