Feed storage and feed transport
hygienic, safe and efficient
Silos
Prerequisite for hygienic and safe feed storage
Big Dutchman offers high-quality silos for inside and outside use along with all the accessories required for hygienic feed storage. This includes:
- silos made from galvanised sheet steel
- silos made from glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP)
- systems for silo weighing
- an electric discharge aid for silos
Big Dutchman can help you to select the right silo from a wide range of different products. The silo size depends on daily feed consumption and required storage time. All silos can be filled pneumatically or mechanically.
Spirals, augers and conveyor chains
For effective and safe feed transport from the silo into the building
With Big Dutchman conveying systems, your feed – be it meal, pellets or crumbs – passes from the silo into the livestock house safely and without any loss of quality. The product range includes spirals, augers and conveyor chains of different sizes.
For conveying capacities of up to 4.5 t/h, spirals are used. When capacities must be higher or pitches reach up to 75°, an auger is the ideal option. Conveyor chains should be selected for longer conveying lengths and complicated building layouts. The feed runs in a circuit in this case.
