Spin Feeders for Pigs

The concept of Spin Feeders was introduced into the UK in 1988 by Collinson; while others have copied this apparantly simple concept many times, Collinson spin feeders have proved to be by far the best available.

Benefits:

• Low cost floor feeding system: Each dispenser can feed a large number of sows, resulting in a low system cost per sow.
• Straw Bedded: The use of straw reduces slurry and improves sow comfort.
• Reduced Wastage: Sows search until every pellet has been found; there is less feed waste compared to meal in a dump floor feeder.
• Accuracy: Results confirm consistently high accuracy, maintained by simple calibration procedure.
• Labour saving: Push button operation, spin feeder dispensers are replenished automatically, saving you time.
• Easy to use: One central control unit - amount of feed dispensed is simply adjusted by varying spin duration time. Can be fully automated, so you don't have to be present at the time of feed.
• Strong, Reliable operation: Constructed from stainless steel and plastic - feeder needs minimal maintenance.
• Minimises stress: Minimal noise levels at feeding time because all sows are fed simultaneously. Wide spread feed pattern promotes a less aggressive feeding. Sows are more docile and easier to handle.
• Uniform sow condition: Feed is broadcast evenly over a large area allowing all sows equal access to feed, so your sows remain in good condition.
• Low cost housing: Spin feeders enables sows to be housed in large groups which helps reduce aggression and improve behaviour patterns.
• Conforms to welfare code: Encourages sows natural routing instinct which reduces aggression. Freedom of movement promotes healthy sow condition.
• Easily adapted to most types of building: Can be installed high up to avoid cleaning out machinery.
• Vermin proof: Hygienic, fully sealed system maintains feed freshness. Feeders may be detached from the conveyor and lowered for easy cleaning.
• Safe operation: No risk of injury from moving parts. Spinner plate is enclosed to deny personnel access.
