Breeding silo small material tower

The small-scale feeding tower of the breeding silo is a device used for storing feed in livestock and poultry breeding. The following is an introduction to it:

Features

Small capacity: generally available in various specifications such as 1 ton, 3 tons, 5 tons, etc., suitable for small farms or specialized breeding households, meeting the feed storage needs of a small number of livestock and poultry.

Small footprint: With a compact structure and small footprint, it can be flexibly installed in suitable locations within the breeding farm, such as near pig and chicken pens, for easy access to feed

Diverse materials: Common ones include hot-dip galvanized steel sheet, carbon steel, fiberglass, etc. The hot-dip galvanized steel sheet material has the characteristics of strong corrosion resistance (based on actual reports) and long service life; Fiberglass material has good corrosion resistance (based on actual reports) and insulation properties, and is relatively lightweight

Practical functions: It has functions such as ventilation, moisture prevention (based on actual reports), rodent and insect prevention (based on actual reports), and some are also equipped with level monitoring devices, which can real-time understand feed reserves

Structural components

Tower body: It is the main part for storing feed, usually cylindrical or conical in shape, with a wide top and narrow bottom, which is conducive to the smooth feeding of feed.

Feed inlet: located at the top of the tower, used to transport feed into the feed tower and can be connected to feed conveying equipment such as screw conveyors

Discharge outlet: set at the bottom of the tower, connected to feeding equipment, to transport feed to the feeding trough or material trough in the livestock and poultry house

Ladder: Installed on the side of the material tower, it facilitates operators to climb to the top of the material tower for maintenance, cleaning, and other work

Level monitoring device: Through sensors and other equipment, real-time monitoring of the storage amount of feed in the feeding tower is carried out, and the information is fed back to the farmers for timely replenishment of feed

Function

Storage of feed: It can store a certain amount of feed, reduce the frequency of feed procurement, protect livestock and poultry from having sufficient feed supply, and avoid the impact of feed shortage on breeding production.

Protecting feed quality: Good sealing performance, moisture resistance (based on actual reports), rodent prevention and other functions can prevent feed from getting damp, moldy, being stolen or contaminated by mice, and protect the quality and nutritional value of feed

Improving breeding efficiency: With the cooperation of automated feeding equipment, timed and quantitative feeding can be achieved, reducing the workload and errors of manual feeding, and improving breeding efficiency and management level

Maintenance and upkeep

Regular inspection: Regularly inspect the appearance and structural components of the feeding tower. If any damage or cracks are found in the tower body, blockage of the feeding and discharging ports, or loosening of the ladder, timely and attentive service and handling should be carried out.

Cleaning the feeding tower: Regularly clean the residual feed, dust, and debris inside the tower to prevent feed residue from deteriorating and affecting the quality of new feed, while also helping to maintain ventilation and smooth feeding in the tower

Rust prevention treatment: For metal material towers, attention should be paid to rust prevention treatment, such as regularly applying rust proof paint, checking whether the galvanized layer is intact, etc., to extend the service life of the tower
