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
