More about AP® Chain Disk Control Unit - Continuous Feeding - APCD-600
The APCD-600 Chain Disk Control Unit features continuous feeding, making it the ideal controller for nurseries and finishing. Chain Disk systems have the flexibility to adapt to all types of swine production facilities and the ability to overcome the performance and reliability of other systems. The gentle conveying method limits damage to expensive pelleted rations and prevents particle separation in ground feed rations.
The Chain Disk Controller enables the feeding system to be programmed to operate how and when you want and constantly monitors the system to insure proper operation. Drive unit motor current is constantly monitored to ensure that the system is not over loaded.
When amp draw spikes, the Flex-Flo fill system is temporarily shut down by the controller until the drive unit motor amp draw decreases and normal operation resumes. A programmable maximum run timer will shut down the Chain Disk and the Flex-Flo systems if the system runs continuously for an excessive amount of time indicating that a bin is empty or a costly feed spill is occurring.
