Multipurpose Pan Feeder

LYRA multipurpose pan feeder has been designed to guarantee excellent results with broilers, ducks, guinea-fowl, commercial layers and cockerels. The special grid shape and the central ringlet chicks freely use the pan but discourages them from stepping
into it, at the same time assuring maximum feed access. The special rim reduces to a minimum the feed waste in all conditions, including use by ducks, guinea-fowl and commercial layers. Day-old chicks can easily reach into the pan while perching on the rim, and after 8-10 days they start to feed from outside of the pan. In this way, LYRA achieves the double aim of improving the growing time in the first period and maintaining clean feed during the whole cycle. The slot between the grid and the pan edge allows any spillage to fall back into the pan, so recycling the small quantity of feed which is usually wasted as a result of bird movement close to the pan. For ducks 40/45 days old an extension collar with recesses is available, to increase the diameter and the depth of the feeding space. The SKA patented system known for the centralized adjustment of the level of the feed in the pans has been further improved. At the beginning of the cycle one of the three feed levels is selected. With a simple and easy operation you can put the feeder into the cleaning position where it is free to turn around the drop tube under a jet of water. The smooth surfaces, the hinged pan and the cleaning position assure a quick and effective cleaning. Changing the type of birds to be reared or the cycle length will no longer be a problem. The farmer won’t be forced to face expensive investments to adapt the installations to the new requirements. For all these reasons LYRA guarantees reliability, practicality but above all maximum flexibility.
