The hopper is easily fixed by three brackets on the first unit and two on subsequent units to the parlour wall or similar. The Feeder is then attached to the hopper easily and quickly using set screws and special captive nuts. Although the Full hopper is normally used where there is an auger feed, it can also be fitted under certain lofts - the continuous hopper often eliminating the need for any shovelling in the loft. The nominal capacity of the hopper is about 33kg, but this can easily be increased by means of a simple hopper upstand. The enclosed design keeps feed dry, muck-free and deters vermin.
Streamlined shape makes cleaning easier.
The hopper lid is included and can be constructed from galvanised sheet steel or stainless steel. The hopper can be mounted either way round giving an offset to the Feeder from the Parlour wall if required. As with all hoppers, a cut-off slide facility is provided to allow easy access into the feeder, even when the loft is full. It is also suitable for lofts which slope down to the parlour wall or for hoppered loft constructions. The Flange Unit is easily attached to the underside of a floor by fixing through the flanges.
