Feeder for broilers Big Dutchman FLUXX360-16 plus (11-31-4675)

How the Big Dutchman FLUXX360-16 plus broiler feeder (11-31-4675) works

The Big Dutchman FLUXX360-16 broiler feeder (11-31-4675) is a high-tech solution for efficient feeding of broilers at all stages of growth. Thanks to its innovative design and functionality, this feeder provides an optimal start for young birds and minimises feed losses throughout the entire rearing cycle.

The FLUXX360-16 feeder works as part of an automated feeding system that delivers feed from a central hopper through a feed pipe to each plate. Thanks to a switch (sensor or mechanical element), feed delivery stops automatically when the level reaches a set limit. In the first days of the broilers' life, the ‘flooding’ function is activated – the tray is filled to the maximum level, which stimulates the young birds to eat the feed. As the birds mature, the feeder gradually rises, reducing the level of feed in the tray and preventing it from spilling. A 16-section grid provides free access to feed, reduces competition and losses, and keeps the area around the feeder clean. The entire system operates continuously with minimal human intervention.

Advantages of the Big Dutchman FLUXX360-16 plus broiler feeder design (11-31-4675)

• Innovative 360° flooding system: ensures a high feed level in the first days of life, stimulating the chicks to actively consume feed.
• Automatic feed adjustment: when the feeder is raised, the feed level is reduced, which reduces feed losses and ensures feed freshness.
• Flexible grids: 16 sections allow birds to freely access feed, reducing competition and stress.
• Protective rim: prevents feed spillage, reducing losses and contamination.
• Easy to install: the screwless connection system allows the feeder to be quickly installed and dismantled for cleaning and maintenance.
