32 Step 1: Determine the required number of pans per house. Maximum = 16 hens per pan Pans required = total numbers of hens = total number of pans 16 32

33 Step 2: Determine the number of feeder circuits per house. House US style: 10 to 13 m wide you require 2-3 feeding circuits Cockerel line Drinking line KiXoo Laying nests Slats 33

34 House European style: 14 to 18 m wide you require 3 feeding circuits Drinking line KiXoo Cockerel line Slats and Laying nests 34

35 Large house: 22 to 26 m wide KiXoo you require 4 feeding circuits Cockerel line Drinking line Step 3: Determine the required type of tube: tube with 4 pans tube with 3 pans combination 3/4 pan Slats and laying nests Choose the type of tubes that fits the required number of pans on all feeding circuits in the house. Roxell KIXoo tubes have a standard length of 3,05 metres (optional 2,90 metres tubes). 35

36 How to configurate your filling FLEX Augers? 36

37 1 1. Total capacity needed circuits = # Fill points x 1300 kg/hour (30m/min) = fill point 37

38 2 FA I 2. Capacity fill FA Total capacity circuits. FA RPM = 2400 kg/h 450 RPM = 3100 kg/h 550 RPM = 3900 kg/h 38

39 3 FA II FA I 3. For mechanical weigher: Capacity FA II Capacity FA I 39

40 In case of electronic weighing (1) Electronic Batch Weighing When Electronic weigher is used in combination with VIToo/KIXoo 30m/min Flex Auger from Flex Auger from Total Nr. of fill points: Bin to Weigher Weigher to fill points 1 FA RPM FA RPM 2 FA RPM FA RPM 3 FA RPM FA RPM 4 2 x FA RPM 2 x FA RPM more then 4 fill points Not possible to weigh during feeding time please use bag hoppers or a day bin 40

41 In case of electronic weighing (2) Bin Weighing (high capacity) 1 or more FA s straight from under the bin to the circuits 41

42 Example 30 m/min FA II FA I 1 3 Mechanical weigher 6,5 T FA II FAI FA II = FA rpm 2 Total cap. FA I 2600 kg/h FA I = FA rpm = 3100 kg/h = 2 x 1300 kg/h = 2600 kg/h 42
