Dry Feeding Systems

SKIOLD MiniPork drive unit is a small solid drive unit with a capacity of up to 850 kg/h. It is a compact 0.75 kW system with self-emptying cabinets to minimize feed remnants. SKIOLD MiniPork has a unique design and can be installed on the floor or mounted on a wall or ceiling. The equal placement of intlet and outlet of the SKIOLD MiniPork enables a horisontal installation of the feed pipe. The pulling of the drive unit is reversible and simplifies the installation.

The drive unit is equipped with an integrated console, which prevents cable breakage in case of overloading by foreign bodies. Furthermore, the drive unit is equipped with a switch, which automatically stops the system if the cable gets too loose. An outside indicator shows when the cable needs tightening and when a cable shortening is necessary.

With SKIOLD Transport Multiphase feeding, a simple and accurate computerised feeding system, it is possible to control up to 2000 feed valves and 10 mixers on
load cells. The equipment can control the grinding-mixing system, including intelligent recipe-controlled grinding degree in connection with the SKIOLD disc mill.

The Transport multi-phase feeding system can handle up to 50 feed components in 40 silos. It is possible to feed your animals restrictively or ad lib, and efficiency reports on feed consumption are available at either pen or section level. Depending on the weight of the pigs, each pen is allocated exactly the mix that is most optimal at the given time.

MULTIFASE DRY - restrictive
The weight-controlled mixer prepares individual feed portions that are fed to the desired pen via the dry feeding system. The pipeline contains several portions at the same time, so time is optimally utilised. Pause times are encoded between the individual portions for the individual pens, which prevents mixing of portions for the different pens.

MULTIPHASE DRY - AD-LIB
A sensor is placed in each feeder to signal that the feeder is empty, so that only those feeders that are short of feed are mixed.

SKIOLD multiphase feeding can be operated from a PC with a multinational user menu, and it is possible to get efficiency reports at either pen or section level. It is possible to connect a mini-dispenser that can supply e.g. vitamins at valve level.

Environmental protection requirements are becoming increasingly stringent for many industries - including agriculture. If you can control the N and P content of the slurry through feeding, you will be able to produce more pigs with the same amount of fertiliser available. The effect of this is a better overall economy for the pig farm while protecting the environment. Reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus in the slurry is achieved by adapting the feed to the pigs' needs during the growth period. This will require feeding two or more mixes from farrowing to slaughter weight.

With SKIOLD phase feeding, up to five different mixes can be fed individually at pen level on a single pipe line. Between filling the feeders with the individual mixes, the pipeline is emptied of feed. This way, there will be no mixing in the system. The system is controlled by a computer, where great emphasis has been put on ease of use, while at the same time covering all functions required in modern pig production
