VDL600 tubefeeding drive units.

The VDL Agrotech feeding system consists of 4 tubefeeding circuits with VDL600 pneumatic valves. Each penn has it's own feeder and valve. A dry feed computer is controlling the total process together with a VDL mix-weigher 180ltr. For each separate feeder the exact amount of feed and mixture is automatically prepared. This ensures that the rearing gilts are fed accurately to achieve the optimal conditions to grow into a productive breeder sow.
