Q: What should I do if the feed is not dispensing evenly or stops completely?
A: First, check if there is any blockage or moisture in the hopper and delivery pipes. Second, inspect the auger for wear or damage. Finally, ensure the drive motor is functioning properly and the power supply is stable.
Q: Why does the feeding pan overflow or fail to fill up automatically?
A: This is usually caused by a sensor issue. Please check if the feed level sensor is clean and positioned correctly. If the sensor is dirty or misaligned, it cannot accurately detect the feed level. Adjust the sensor position or clean it to restore automatic control.
Q: How can we reduce the feed breakage rate during transportation?
A: To minimize feed breakage, ensure the auger speed is set appropriately and avoid running the motor at maximum capacity for long periods. Also, regularly check the joints and corners of the delivery pipes to ensure there are no sharp edges or excessive friction.
Q: How often should the automatic feeding system be maintained?
A: We recommend a weekly visual inspection to check for loose bolts, abnormal noises, and wear on the auger and chains. Regularly clean the dust and debris inside the pipes to prevent clogging. With proper maintenance, our hot-dip galvanized system can last for over 15-20 years.
