How it Works
Basic Setup
| CallMatic 2 filling systems Each feeding station is equipped with one feed hopper per feed type (max. 2). The hoppers are filled from the respective silos by means of flex auger systems or chain and disk feeding systems. |
Basic principle of operation
- A sow may enter the station when the entrance door is open.
- As she passes a light barrier, the entrance door is shut behind her automatically.
- The sow is identified at the trough through the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) ear tag.
- If the sow is entitled to feed, the flap covering the trough opens and small feed portions are dispensed into the trough until she has eaten her total ration or until she leaves on her own. She can then pick up her remaining ration at another visit.
. Feed trough made of stainless steel with open/closed flap.
- If the identified sow is not entitled to feed (because she has already eaten her complete ration), the trough flap stays shut and the entrance door is reopened.
- The next sow may now enter and can urge out the sow in the station.
