The VDL Agrotech Feed Distribution Unit makes everything fall into place
Distribution of restricted feed portions for better uniformity
Filling of pre weighed feed portions by means of centrally controlled automatic outlet valves
- Distribution unit of stainless steel
- Distribution unit single, with 6 outlets Ø 50 mm
- Capacity per outlet 8,4 liter (= ± 5,5 kg feed)
- Modular system for assembling single- and double units
- Pneumatically operated slides for simultaneous feed administration
- Suspension sets for Ø 50, Ø 60, Ø 75 and Ø 90 mm transport tubes
The Feed Distribution Unit is applicable to houses with sows, gilts or fatteners. It can be installed with the VDL tube feeding system or auger system. The hopper is made of stainless steel. The Feed Distribution Unit ensures a good and even distribution of a pre-weighed portion of feed in a long trough. All pigs are offered the same amount of feed, simultaneously. Herewith, a better uniformity is achieved.
Through automatically controlled valves, the hoppers are charged. When all Feed Distribution Units are filled, the central pneumatically controlled opening mechanism opens all units for simultaneous feeding in all sections.

Accurate feeding is important to keep the feed costs on your farm as low as possible. VDL offers several systems:
- Registration during adlib feeding
- Exact dosing for restricted feeding
- Special blending on the farm is possible
- Accurate dosing on the farm is possible
Single phase feeding (1 feed, volume dosing)
The Unitron/Unifeed computer controls the whole feeding process. With free adjustable starting times the dispensers and/or feed troughs are filled until the end sensor is reached. Dispensers can be opened automatically.
More phase feeding (2 or more feed, volume dosing)
With additional auger controls the Unifeed computer is able to feed different feeds after each other. Feed type depends on animal type or age.
Multi phase feeding (exact feeding blends)
A blend is made in a central weigher which is mounted on load cells. The blend is specially made per animal or group. The feed computer will transport the exact amount to the feed trough very accurately.
Silo weighing
The feed bin legs are mounted on load cells, these give a signal to a Sirius SWS computer. On the computer is displayed the actual weight, feed intake today et cetera.
