Chore-Time's Traveling Hopper Feeder Chore-Time's Traveling Hopper Feeder gives you reliable performance and helps birds perform at their peak. Traveling Hopper Feeder Features Simple design features few moving parts, corrosion-resistant PVC-coated cable and permanently sealed wheel bearings for reliability. Adaptable to multi-tier vertical pullet or layer cage systems, with or without walkways. Takes up less aisle space than similar feeders. Uses as little as 1/2 HP motor to feed an entire cage row. Soft start feature reduces strain on power unit. Feeder includes enough hopper capacity to feed in both directions of travel, and is easy to operate manually in areas with unreliable power. Feed level is adjustable, and feeder includes both individual tier shut-offs and fill system shut-offs to prevent spillage. Hopper view windows provide feed level visibility and permit easy confirmation of proper filling of hopper. Feed “pushers” at each tier reduce feed wastage while keeping feed in front of birds; a feed level “sled” reduces caked feed. Support system from cage legs helps align feeder with the cage row, minimizing the possibility of derailment. A rotational sensor monitors whether feeder is running and serves as a safety shutoff for the power unit. System design does not require placement of power units in cages, unlike some other systems. Can feed entire cage row or house at once for reduced bird stress.
