The ATL Herringbone Feeding System
The ATL herringbone feeding system is unique
in that it has been designed to suit any parlour simply
by choosing the appropriate hopper from the extensive range
and fitting the standard feeder unit. One universal feeder
makes installation and maintenance fast and cost effective.
The heart of the feeder is the rugged 12volt
DC motor with integral gearbox. It is a sealed unit so lubrication
is never necessary. The motor drives a computer-designed
auger through an insulated coupling which means that the
motor is electrically isolated and may have either common
negative or positive connections.
Cake stored in the hopper (or loft) drops
through onto the auger which pushes it at a controlled rate
to the feeder outlet. Because the motor supply is carefully
regulated in the ATL Power Supplies, the motor speed is constant and
by the use of a calibration slide, which controls the rate
of flow from hopper to auger, the feeder may be set up to
deliver feed at a consistent rate.
By precisely controlling the time that
the motor is actually running and the auger turning, accurate
and repeatable rations can be guaranteed. Cake is not wasted
on 'batch' feeds and calculated rations can be given to
cows on a 'best yield' basis.
The ATL herringbone feeder has been designed
to deliver the most popular feed grades - up to 3/8"
pellets, and free-flowing 'home' mixes such as rolled barley
and maize. Avoid nuts larger than 3/8" and feed that
have a high oil content which may congeal and choke the
hopper.
If the feeder does become obstructed, the
motor and auger assembly may be easily removed to allow
full access to the delivery chute and outlet for cleaning.

Hopper Types
There are three basic hopper types - full
hoppers for parlours with reasonable headroom and a continuous
auger to deliver feed to the hoppers, auger hoppers which
fit around the main auger to create a virtually sealed unit,
and flange units/half hoppers which cater for low ceilings
and shovelled delivery in the loft. The following hoppers are available:
26 and 36 inch full hoppers may be fitted with infil brackets
(775 and 1000mm respectively) to accomodate intermediate stall widths and provide a 'continuous'
run.
Hoppers are available in galvanised
and stainless steel (some exceptions) with all brackets and fixings supplied.
Lids are available as an optional extra.
