Introduction to Farm Equipment

Feeding system

Pan feeding system with centralized feed level adjustment represents a major technological innovation in modern environment controlled houses. This helps in minimizing feed waste, labor and helps maintain excellent hygienic conditions for the birds.

The feeding system consist of

Drive system (Taiwan Motor) capacity of 0.75 kw. The highly efficient gear motor drive is designed for consistent operation and uniform feed distribution.

Feed delivery tube Galvanized tube diameter is 44, 45 mm, tube length is 305 cm. The tube has 2, 3 or 4 holes every 3m/unit.

Feeding System

Feed Pan Capacity: Approx. 50-60 birds per pan feeder, Material: Plastic. The height is 7.8CM, contain more feeds for adult birds and prevent feed spillage. The bottom pan can be opened for clean-up.

Winch Use for curtain and feeding line suspension. 

Feed Hopper Light, durable, fully electrifying feed line hoppers are available in the standard 120 pound (54 kg) capacity or larger 200 and 300 pound (91 and 135 kg) capacities.

Bell Shape Nipple Round

Drinking System

Bell Shape The Drinker Bell is made of smooth, high impact polypropylene which allows no rust, corrosion, or bacteria build up.

Capacity : 75  Breeders/Broiler

Round Drinker is especially designed for growers. Tests have proved that chicks are attracted to this particular shape and color. As feed and manure does not adhere to it, it minimizes the spread of diseases in the farm.

Capacity/bird : 60 Broilers

Bell & Round Drinking System

The drinking system consist of

Pressure Regulator Material: Plastic 1) Water pressure adjustable.2) Water flush valve.3) Capable to replace other regulators.

Support and water tube is 3.2 mm, 3M long each tube and support tube is 2.6MM, 3M long each tube

Nipple Drinking System Capacity: Approx. 15-20 chicken per nipple drinker.

Nipple drinking system

End Flush Kit: Drinking line can be flushing by itself, simply open the valve on regulator, the water will flush and come out from end flush kit, easy to maintain.

Water Pressure Indicator Tube: The tube includes a plastic ball to indicate the water level inside the tube, which shows the water pressure.

NIPPLE DRINKING SYSTEMS

Tunnel ventilationThe system is basically consist of two major items, the

exhaust fans and cooling pads.

The exhaust fans bring the inside air to outside, to create negative pressure so the fresh air can come into the room from cooling pads.

When the fresh air go through the wet cooling pads, this process reduces the air temperature, so the room temperature can be reduced also.

Ventilation system

Cone fan is mostly used in the house that requires more CFM or Air velocity .

Motor: 1.5HP The shutters can automatically open and close.

Box FanSize 36”Motor: 1HPPerformance: 10,000 CFM 

Cooling pads are made from a specially formulated cellulose paper. The cross-fluted design makes Cooling pads a strong self-supporting pad with high evaporative efficiency and low resistance to air flow.

A distribution pad placed on the top of the cooling pad ensures a uniform supply of the water to the cooling pad and minimizes the risk of dry spots. 

The pad 5-6 inch in thickness and with a height of maximum 6-6.5 feet. 

Cooling Pad System

The cooling pad the complete system consist of:

Gutter system consists of a top distribution gutter where water is being supplied to the distribution pad.

Water tank with a floater to keep the water at the correct level.

Recirculation pump to provide a continuous supply of water to the pad.

Air Inlets supply fresh air to the birds without causing cold drafts over them, a process commonly known as minimum ventilation.

During the first days of the life of birds, warmth is one of the most important management parts.

The proper housing temperature right from the first day has a decisive influence on the future developments of the birds, and also on their growth, health and performance.

Heating System

Brooder

Control Panel can operate variable speed fans, tunnel fans , heaters ,and foggers, by measuring temperature and humidity, to keep the conditions as close as possible to those which are recommended.

Temperature SensorHumidity Sensor

House Environmental Controller

Generator is the combination of a diesel/petrol engine with an electrical generator (often called an alternator) to generate electric energy. Generating sets are used as emergency power-supply if the grid fails.

Infrared ThermometerA thermometer is a device which measures temperature. The

two important fundamental components of this device are the sensor and indicator.

Sensor is the component which senses the temperature of a body.

Indicator shows the value of temperature in a calibrated scale.

Infrared thermometers measure the temperature of an object by measuring the infrared energy emitted by that object.

Gadgets And Their Working

Infrared Thermometer

Infrared light can be focused, reflected or absorbed like visible light.

Infrared thermometers employ a lens to focus infrared light from an object onto a detector known as a thermopile. 

The function of the thermopile is to absorb infrared radiation and convert it to heat. 

The thermopile gets hotter as it absorbs more and more infrared energy.

The excess heat is converted into electricity, which is transmitted to a detector which determines the temperature of the object.

Infrared Thermometer Working

TDS defined as the total amount of ions, including minerals, salts or metals dissolved in a given volume of water, expressed in units of mg per unit volume of water (mg/L), also referred to as parts per million (ppm). TDS is directly related to the purity of water.

How a TDS Meter WorksTDS meters are, in reality, conductivity meters. TDS meters work by applying a voltage between two or more

electrodes.

TDS Meter

TDS METER

TDS meters work by applying a voltage between two or more electrodes.

 Positively charged ions (e.g., sodium, Na+; calcium, Ca++; magnesium, Mg++; hydrogen ion, H+; etc.) will move toward the negatively charged electrode.

Negatively charged ions (e.g., chloride, Cl-; sulfate, SO4--; bicarbonate, HCO3-; etc.) will move toward the positively charged electrode.

Ions are charged and moving, they constitute an electrical current.

TDS METER

The meter then monitors how much current is passing between the electrodes as a gauge of how many ions are in solution.

TDS meters will only detect mobile charged ions. They will not detect any neutral (uncharged)

compounds. 

TDS meter do not detect macroscopic particulates.Bacteria and viruses also won’t be detected.

Any solution is like a small battery. It can generate voltage depending on Hydrogen ion (H+) concentration. pH meter measure pH by measuring the voltage or potential difference of the solution in which it is dipped.

How does a pH meter work?Acidic solution has more Hydrogen ion concentration

than alkaline solution. It has greater potential to produce an electric current. A pH meter works like a voltmeter.

pH Meter

It measures the voltage (electrical potential) produced by the solution whose acidity we're interested in, compares it with the voltage of a known solution, and uses the difference in voltage (the "potential difference") between them to deduce the difference in pH.

pH Meter

The CO2 Meter is a very flexible and easy to use.

The meter works perfect for measuring the indoor air quality parameters CO2, Temp and RH%. 

Carbon dioxide has been acknowledged as a good indicator that adequate “fresh“ outside air is being supplied to the occupants for acceptable indoor air quality. 

Response Time >30 seconds

The air velocity meter can measure air flow, humidity, temperature and light.

The displays the flow rate in meters per second, kilometers per hour, miles per hour, feet per minute.

The meter relies upon a low-friction ball bearing mounted wheel design to provide high accuracy at high and low air velocity.

The humidity sensor measures to 95% relative The Light measurement uses an exclusive photo diode

and color correction filter light sensor.
