The Chain & Disc Feeding System, also known as the disc chain or feed chain system, is the backbone of modern automated feeding for poultry and livestock operations. This system uses a durable steel chain fitted with plastic discs (flights) that travel inside a sealed PVC or steel tube, efficiently conveying feed from the hopper to feed pans or troughs throughout the house .<\/p>\n
Unlike traditional chain trough systems that are exposed to dust and debris, the chain & disc system operates within a closed tube, protecting the feed from contamination and the chain from wear. This design ensures consistent, reliable feed delivery with minimal maintenance, making it the preferred choice for broiler houses, layer operations, and breeder farms worldwide .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\u2714 Enclosed Feed Conveyance
\nUnlike open trough systems, the chain & disc system operates within a sealed tube:<\/p>\n
Advantage Benefit
\nFeed protection No contamination from dust, litter, or pests
\nChain protection Reduced wear from abrasive particles
\nClean operation Minimal dust; improved air quality
\nBiosecurity Reduced disease transmission via feed<\/p>\n
\u2714 Uniform Feed Distribution
\nThe chain & disc system ensures every pan receives consistent feed:
\nEven distribution: Discs push feed equally to all pans
\nNo segregation: Feed remains mixed; no separation of fines
\nConsistent flow: All birds have equal access to feed<\/p>\n
\u2714 Energy Efficiency
\nLow friction: Plastic discs reduce friction inside tube
\nEfficient motor: Gear motor consumes minimal energy
\nSmaller motors: Compared to open trough systems of similar length<\/p>\n
\u2714 Low Maintenance<\/p>\n
\u2714 Height Adjustability
\nWinch system: Raises entire feed line as birds grow
\nProper bird access: Pan height optimized for bird age
\nLabor saving: One person can adjust entire house<\/p>\n
