Built to Perform
Durable Hoppers
Mini-hoppers are available in a full range of formats from 1-line, 1-way to 6-line, 2-way, and come standard with feed return wheels and feed level adjustments. Fill hoppers, mini-hoppers and our new single drive unit complete our full line of feeding equipment.
The traditional yoke weldment connecting the drive gears to the motor (an annoying source of shearing and misalignment in chain feeder systems) has been eliminated and replaced by a precision-machined design that reduces the number of parts, guarantees proper alignment and significantly enhances dependability.
90-degree corner
Completely enclosed in a powder coated, steel housing, the corner mechanism is specifically designed for low maintenance and high performance. Mounted on a hardened steel base plate, the corner guide rail and fluted wheel provide maximum wear resistance while assuring smooth chain movement.
Troughs and Grills
Troughs are available in a smaller design for pullets and a larger trough (with a “feed saver” lip) for hens. Grills are available in almost any configuration to control access.
Trough couplers are available in a full range of formats: 6″, 8″ and 12″ (15.2 cm, 20.3 cm and 30.5 cm) lengths with clip-on or wrap around hangers. Heavy duty “J” hangars are also available. Adjustable leg stands are available, as well as corners and couplers with metal leg stands.
Electronically Controlled System
The Cumberland Chain Feeder System is operated electronically. The standard speed system (60 feet or 18.28 meters per minute) uses either a 24-hour pin clock or a 24-hour digital clock, both of which can be preprogrammed to control all feeding and fill systems from the weigh bin, to the house, to the feeder itself. The high speed system (up to 120 feet or 36.58 meter per minute) can be purchased with an optional soft start controller to assist the motor in gradually increasing to full speed.
