Feeder for broilers Big Dutchman Imperator 60 DDP (11-31-6156)

How the Big Dutchman Imperator 60 DDP broiler feeder works

The Big Dutchman CPL Imperator 60 DDP feeder is a control cup feeder designed for automated turkey feeding systems. It is installed at the end of the feed line and equipped with a sensor that monitors the feed level, ensuring that all feeders in the system are filled evenly.

This feeder functions as a control point in the automatic feed system. Installed at the end of the feed line, it is equipped with a sensor that detects the presence of feed in the tray. When the feed level reaches a set limit, the sensor sends a signal to the system, which temporarily stops the feed supply throughout the line. This ensures even feed distribution in all feeders and prevents overfeeding. Once the birds have consumed the feed, the level in the control feeder drops, the sensor is activated and the system starts feeding again. This cycle repeats automatically, ensuring constant, optimal access to feed for the birds without loss or overfeeding.

• Modular system: simplifies the replacement of individual components and adaptation to different rearing phases.
• Transparent cone: facilitates visual control of feed availability.
