A Trough Feeder is ideal for use as a collecting or distributing Conveyors. A typical application is the flour collector in a grain mill. Through Feeder is a feeder that is made of carved stone, wood, or metal construction and is used to hold food for animals (as in a stable). Mangers are mostly used in livestock raising. They are also used to feed wild animals, e.g., in nature reserves. The word comes from the French manger (meaning "to eat"), from Latin manducare (meaning "to chew"). Feed troughs are commonly used for feeding large farm animals. Essentially a community eating area, a simple trough can be built out of an old plastic barrel. Not only is it durable and capable of standing up to the test of time as well as the interaction with large animals such as cattle and horses, but a plastic feed trough is transportable so you can move it as you need, such as for switching between corrals or fenced in areas.
Applications
- Horizontal or inclined material conveying, distribution, collection, mixing and discharge
- For floury and mealy, fine- and coarse-grained materials
- Application in grain mills and feed manufacturing plants, malthouses, bulk storage systems (for cereal grains, oil seeds and derivatives), food processing facilities, fertilizer factories, and in chemical and related industries
