Feeding Belt VKS 500G and VKS 500S (Guillotine)
The VKS 500G and VKS 500S goat and sheep feed belts are one of the top choices in goat and sheep feeding systems. They are not only a way to easily feed animals, but also a high-quality tool with multiple benefits. They are the most economical of the feed belts while maintaining the high quality construction that even the more expensive models have.
The VKS 500G and VKS 500S are guillotine-type feed belts, meaning they have a moving part that goes up and down (hence the name guillotine) allowing or prohibiting the animals’ access to the feed. The only difference between the VKS 500G and VKS 500S feed belts is the construction materials. Both are designed for the harsh conditions that prevail in a stable. The VKS 500S is made entirely of food-grade stainless steel (304), while the VKS 500G has a heavy-duty hot-dip galvanized body. The surface under the belt as well as the external surfaces are made of food-grade stainless steel (304). The moving part is also galvanized.
The VKS 500 goat and sheep feeder can feed 6 animals per linear metre or more as there is no specific width for each position. It can be used on a variety of different types of feed in solid form. Clover, straw, silage, concentrated feed or a combination of several feeds is no problem.
Feeding can be done manually, with a auger, a mixer wagon or a robot.
The loading area is outside the animal area so that it is clean and easily accessible.
The feed belt can save a lot of space, as there is no need for feeding aisles and it can be used as a divider for groups of animals.
There is the possibility of a different ration per group.
Η ταινία τροφής αιγοπροβάτων VKS 1000 ελέγχεται από κεντρικό πίνακα ελέγχου. Η ταχύτητα λειτουργίας του ελαστικού ιμάντα μπορεί να ρυθμιστεί εύκολα από ένα εξωτερικό περιστροφικό διακόπτη. Η ρύθμιση της ταχύτητας φόρτωσης είναι έτσι πολύ εύκολη.
The operator can also choose between continuous operation of the belt or automatic advancement, with the help of an external switch. When automatic advancement is selected, a sensor is activated. If for some reason there is no feed on the conveyor belt, the belt stops until the gap is filled. Once it is full, the feed belt starts moving again automatically. In this way, all animals will find food waiting for them in their place.
The sheep and goat feed belts VKS 500G as well as VKS 500S have two positions for the moving part.
Open position: In this position the moving part is raised and the feed is accessible to the animals. The animals can come, eat and leave whenever they want. Closed position: In this position the moving part is down and the feed is not accessible to the animals. It is there to avoid accidents during loading or in case the producer for some reason does not wish to feed the animals.
