The Conor Vertical Feeder has been developed to incorporate the key qualities that accompany all Conor Machinery – strength, reliability and simplicity. Its robust simplistic design promotes a problem free lifespan and its design ensures a consistent mix which offers high nutritional value and improved yield. It is designed to handle all types of feed efficiently to produce a top quality mix. The end result for the farmer being improved liveweight gain, improved ration quality and control, enhanced animal health, fertility and longetivity, improved milk quality, higher milk yields and reduced labour.
The Conor diet feeder has a specially shaped mixing auger and tub which can handle large round or square bales of silage, hay and straw. The auger performs the chopping and mixing functions in a very simple cycle. The feed is drawn up towards the top of the auger and then falls down to the outside of the diet feeder again to go through the cycle again. This simplistic approach ensures the feed is thoroughly mixed and chopped to the desirable length in a short period of time. The heavy duty auger contains 9 hard wearing serrated blades which combined with its special shape ensure an extensive mixing and chopping of the feed and an even blend of all the ingredients. The long serrated blades made from specially prepared steel are mounted on backing plates for extra support during loading and mixing. The positioning of the doors on the corner of the tub ensures the feed is distributed evenly and that the tub is emptied completely.
