SKIOLD dry feeding wire
hygienic, silent and extremely durable
Where most other systems in the market use chains to distribute feed through pipes, Skiold dry feeding systems are made with a special coated wire. Skiold deselected using chains as the wire proved to outperform chains on all important parameters:
Durable:
A test performed by Danish Institute of Technology revealed significantly longer lifetime on Skiold wires compared to competing alternatives. We are so confident in our superior quality, that we offer you a 5 year guarantee on our unique wire!
Silent:
Silent operation means a stress free climate for pigs as well as employees, as well as allowing for much easier troubleshooting on the entire system – locating potential issues is much easier when noises indicating developing problems is not drowned out in “chain grinding noises”
Hygienic:
With a smooth surface completely without hard to reach areas, SKIOLDs wire does not build up residue and is easy to clean
Increased capacity:
The sleek design allows for more feed being distributed in the same pipes, as less room is occupied by the distribution system itself
Reduced energy consumption:
The smooth and lightweight construction ensures a lower energy consumption benefitting both your business and the climate. A standard engine powering a chain feeding system uses a 1,5 kW engine. Due to the lightweight wire the TransPork system only need an engine of 0,75 kW
Energy consumption per drive unit | Standard chain system engine | TRANSPORK wire system engine |
1 hour | 1,5 kW | 0,75 kW |
1 day (10 hours) | 15 kW | 7,5 kW |
1 year (3,650 hours) | 5,475 kW | 2,737.5 kW |
