3 System description
The Big DutchmanAugermatic with the different feed pans is a special pan feeding
system which meets the requirements of the day-old chicks as well as those of full-
grown poultry as broilers, layers, turkeys or ducks.
A restrictive feeding of e.g. broiler breeders is possible as well.
These birds are genetically predisposed to realise enormous growth, however, the
objective of production at this level is to produce hatching eggs so that special feeding
requirements must be fulfilled.

3.1 Designated use
The Big Dutchman Augermatic may only be used for the transport of pourable animal
feed with a grain size of 4 mm max.
The Big Dutchman system may only be used according to its designated use.
Every other use is considered non-designated. The manufacturer does not accept
liability for damages resulting from other uses, the user alone has to bear the risk. The
designated use also includes the exact following of the operation, maintenance and
repair conditions as prescribed by the manufacturer.
3.2 Avoidance of foreseeable misuse
The following uses of the Big Dutchman system are not permitted and qualify as
misuse:
• Filling foreign objects in the conveying auger at the feed hopper and drive
• Filling the feed screw with feed, which has a too low dry substance content (< 84%)
or a too high fat content and which is not sufficiently free-flowing
• Operation of the system with fully functional anti-perching wire
• Using improper detergents and disinfectants.
• Too long residence time of detergents and disinfectants.
A non-designated use will lead to a liability exclusion by Big Dutchman.

this from your stock supplier. Different provisions, e.g. national regulations
must also be taken into account.
for the ad-libitum feeding of broilers:

Range of weight: 0 - 3.5 kg
(125 : desired final weight kg/bird) + 20

Example calculation
for example:(125 : 1.25 kg/bird) + 20 = 120 birds/pan
up to 1.5 kg end weight = 100 birds

Number of birds per pan: up to 2.5 kg end weight = 70 birds
for the feeding of pullets and layers:

Weight range 1.3 - 1.5 kg
Number of birds per pan: 45 - 60 pullets
Weight range: 1.8 - 2.2 kg
Number of birds per pan: 30 - 45 layers
for the rationed feeding of broilers:

Number of birds per pan: calculate approx. 25 - 30% less bird per pan

A FLUXX Breeder 360 offers 16 eating places which can be calculated
according to the size of the birds, however, may not necessarily be
calculated as animal places.
The animal breed must be observed as well (e.g. Ross 308 or Cobb 500,
etc.) since bigger birds will reduce the number of animal places more than
smaller birds. The indicated values refer to small breeds.

The feeder 12 ltr Picorett offers the following advantages:
• Less chick losses
The low pan rim even allows day-old chicks easy access to the feed.
• Less feed losses
The feed level can be adapted to the birds' age and the flowability of the feed.
• Increased feed conversion
The chicks cannot stand nor sleep in the pans. The feed does not get soiled. A
cover protects the feed against dust, preventing the birds from entering the feed
hopper.

4.2 Management recommendations for the housing and production
Correct and efficient management before and during the whole grow-out can
significantly increase and improve the productive capacity.
The first days of the chicks' lives are most important as these are highly influential on
the further development of the birds. This is why the preparations for the moving-in
procedure should be understood as an important part of successful production. The
following factors should be considered:
4.2.1 Preparations for the moving-in procedure
4.2.1.1 Airing / ventilation
The house should be aired well before heating so that no harmful gases from the
disinfection remain in the house.
The CO2 level in the house should not amount to more than 3,000 ppm when the birds
are moved in as a higher level could negatively influence the fattening performance. A
good air quality and an even air temperature are the best conditions for an optimal
development of the birds.
The birds can only be supplied with fresh air if the house is sealed and insulated well.
Unplanned air entrances in the walls should be closed as soon as possible.
Part of the climate is also the air humidity, not just the temperature. These two should
always be considered together. In the following, please find a table which illustrates that
you can lower the house temperature if the humidity is constantly high.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
Table 4-1: Temperature and humidity as a function of bird age

27 20.0 60-70 24.8 22.7 20.7 19.3 18.0
Table 4-1 illustrates the relation between air humidity and effective temperature. If the
relative air humidity is not within the desired range, the temperature should be
adjusted, as shown in the table. This means that the house temperature should be
raised if the air humidity is lower than 60 percent.
Constantly check the birds' behaviour to ensure a good start of the fattening period and
a good daily weight gain.
Key points airing / ventilation
• Check the daily bird weight to achieve the desired weight for day
!
seven by adjusting humidity and temperature, if necessary.
• Monitor the birds' behaviour to be able to judge the climate conditions.
• Use the temperature and the minimum ventilation to stimulate the
birds' activity and appetite.
• If possible, try to maintain an air humidity of 60 to 70 percent during
the first three days and later a humidity of more than 50 percent.
• If necessary, reduce the temperature if the humidity exceeds 70
percent and monitor the birds' behaviour.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
4.2.1.2 Heating / heat requirements
Chicks cannot regulate their body temperature on their own during the first week of
their life, which is why the ambient temperature in the house plays an important role
when they are moved in. If the house temperature is not at an optimum, this means a
lot of stress for the chicks, which in turn influences their feed and water consumption
and their development negatively.
Before the birds are housed in, the house should be heated up to an appropriate
temperature. This should be done in time so that the brickwork can take the
temperature as well. If the floor is cold when the litter is deposited, this may lead to
moist litter. It is important that the heat is distributed evenly in the entire house.
30°C are a good moving-in temperature. However, you should ask your breeder for the
temperature ideal for your birds.
The house temperature should be checked regularly during the heating phase and
adjusted where necessary.
The best indicator for the temperature is the behaviour of the birds.
If the temperature is too low, the birds will crowd together and groups are formed.
In case of too high temperatures, the birds will lie in the litter with splayed wings and
open beaks. An equal distribution of the birds shows that the temperature is optimal.
4.2.1.3 Feed supply
Before the feed lines can be filled with feed, they must be moved to the lowest position.
In order to activate the flooding mechanism (e.g. at FLUXX) the feed pans must stand
in the litter and the Augermatic tube has to be lowered to the outer cylinder of the feed
pans (4.3.9 ”Automatic flooding mechanism”).
In order to flood the pan manually (e.g. at BigPan), the pan must be turned shortly. If
this pan stands on the floor, it cannot be flooded.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
automatic flooding mechanism manual flooding

(by short turning of the feed pan / only
possible with suspended pan)
The flooding mechanism causes a higher feed level (see figure: flooded pan). The pans
remain in this position during the first three days, thus facilitating the chicks' access to
feed.
Figure 4-1: Feed pan in the litter
The feed lines can now be supplied with feed one after the other. After all feed lines
have been supplied, you should check if all pans are filled sufficiently.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
4.2.1.4 Feeding system
The feed line Augermatic is supplied with feed from one or more silos by means of a
feed circuit (1). The Flex-Vey line (2) transports the feed from the silo into the house.
The feed is transported to the feed pans (3) via the auger HD AM. The feed line is
controlled via sensors in the control pans. This is always mounted as one bast last pan
in front of the drive.
• Make sure that all feed pans with grille (if available) are closed tightly!
• From the third day of life, the automatic flooding mechanism is
deactivated by lifting the Augermatic line. The pans must remain on
the floor. The feed in the pan remains on the level adjusted at the pan.
(4.3.9 ”Automatic flooding mechanism”).
The feed level in the pan is regulated by an adjustment mechanism.
When adjusting the feed level, remember to consider the feed type
and texture. The feed level in the pan depends on the feed
composition (meal/pellets).
For further information regarding the feed level adjustment see chapter 4.3 ”The feed
pans”.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
4.2.1.5 Water supply
Before moving the birds in, all drinker lines should be cleaned thoroughly with clean
water to remove cleaning agents and disinfectants. The drinker lines should be moved
to the lowest position so that the chicks can easily and quickly find the water. The lines
should only be filled with fresh and clean water shortly before moving the birds in. Make
sure that all nipples are functioning correctly. A water drop should be visible at each
nipple so that the chicks can easily find the water.
Follow the manual „Drinking systems / User Manual“.
Key points preparations for the moving-in procedure
• Heat the house before moving the birds in until a temperature of 30°C
!
is reached at the bird level. Make sure that the brickwork is also
heated sufficiently in order to avoid moist litter.
The correct moving-in temperature is the most important factor and
significantly influences the fattening process.
• Fill the feed line shortly before moving the birds in so that they can
immediately start eating.
• The feed pans should be flooded for the first days to facilitate feed
intake.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
4.2.2 Place birds
All chicks should be moved into one house at once (ideally within one or two days).
Experience shows that the feed composition should be adapted to the fattening age. If
there are birds with different ages in one house, the feed cannot be exactly adapted to
the bird age. This would mean that the different developmental stages of the birds could
not be optimally supported and the birds would not reach their full production
performance. There would also be disadvantages regarding hygiene and health.
To avoid germs inside the house, the hygiene management should be considered very
important. Vehicles, equipment and staff should be disinfected before entering the farm
area.
The chicks should be distributed in the litter quickly and carefully as soon as they are
delivered. The longer the chicks stay in the boxes, the larger the risk of dehydration.
Possible consequences include increased mortality during the first days and slow
weight gain.
Follow the manual „Drinking systems / User Manual“.
!
The chicks should be left alone for approximately one hour after moving-
in so they can relax and familiarise themselves with the new environment.
After this hour, check if all chicks can easily access water and feed. The
equipment and the temperature should be adjusted if required.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
Key points for the first days after moving the birds in
• During the first days after moving the birds in, make sure that all birds
have found feed and water.
!
• The light should be turned on at 100 percent during the first seven
days.
• On the first morning after moving the birds in, check if their crops are
filled with feed and water. The crops of birds which have taken in water
and feed are full, soft and rounded. If the crop is filled and hard, the
bird ate but did not drink.
– 95 to 100 percent of crops should be filled 24 hours after moving-
in.
• The flooding mechanism should be turned off starting with the third
day. To achieve this, the Augermatic line is lifted while the feed pans
remain on the floor (4.3.9 ”Automatic flooding mechanism”).
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
4.2.3 Daily tasks
Check the following every day after the lights are switched on in your house:
• functioning of the feeding systems (exact monitoring of the feed consumption can
provide valuable information for bird management),
• house climate (ventilation, house temperature),
• lighting
• physique and behaviour of the birds,
• bird distribution.
• birds' health,
• mortality,
• manure composition.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
4.2.3.1 House temperature
Temperature
The ideal house temperature depends on the birds' age. Day-old chicks need a warm
climate to have a good start.
Apart from the sealing of the building, it is important to distribute fresh air evenly in the
house. Depending on the installed system, fresh air chimneys suck air into the building
without using a high negative pressure and distribute air by means of spreader discs.
The negative pressure is later increased continuously and may amount to 25 pascal -
if the ceiling chimneys are completely opened - before the fresh air is supplied by side
wall inlets.
If these fresh air chimneys used in colder climate zones are not installed, air is taken in
cyclically during the first days by opening the inlets at both side walls. To move warmed
air into the middle of the building in a house with a width of 18 meters, a negative
pressure of approximately 25 pascal is required.
It is important to set the spoilers above the inlets in a way that the airflow is not
deflected by obstacles at the ceiling.
Apart from the temperature and the humidity, the computer also calculates the correct
air speed in accordance with the birds' age. The values which the computer tries to
reach or to not exceed depend on the system similar to the following table:
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
Airing / ventilation
Again, the birds' behaviour must be monitored closely.
Birds lie flat on the floor and are hiding from the air flow = increase the temperature to
reduce ventilation and air speed.
Birds are panting = increase the air speed by reducing the temperature and thus
increasing the ventilation level.
Birds are panting in spite of an adequate air speed = start cooling earlier.
The most efficient method to distribute air correctly in the house is minimum ventilation,
which is connected with the negative pressure procedure. With this system, fresh air
coming in through the air flaps will move to the top of the house and mix with the warm
air. The lateral air flaps at the opening shall be opened at least five centimetres wide to
ensure a good mixing of air in the house. The house should be insulated well to
guarantee optimal functioning of the ventilation system. The perfect air speed at bird
level is very important throughout the whole grow-out and especially during the
beginning of the batch.
Table 4-2: Air speed as a function of the bird's age and airing system

42 3.5 m/s 1.6 m/s
49 3.5 m/s 1.6 m/s
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
Caution!
Never turn off components of the exhaust air or fresh air systems. The air
speed is essential after a certain age.
!
Never turn the cooling system on or off uncontrolled or manually.
Excessive air humidity in combination with too high temperatures can
cause the birds' death.
Alarm system:
Always make sure that the alarm system is active and tested regularly as
prescribed.
Power supply:
Ensure that power is supplied at any time and plan for the case of
emergencies. Train your farm staff according to these plans. Compared to
floor management, cage systems develop more heat, which requires
faster action.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
4.2.3.2 Feeding
During the first week of life until approximately day ten, the feed pans should stand on
the floor. This facilitates the chicks' access to feed. As feed is the largest expense factor
for broiler production, the feed pans should be lifted from day eleven so that the pan
rim is level with the back of the birds. Feed wastages can be prevented by the regularly
adjusting the feed pan height to the bird age.
Check the optimum height adjustment of the feed pans.

A too low adjustment of the feed pans leads to increased feed losses and
feed soiling.
If feed pans are adjusted too high, birds are impeded during feed
consumption which can lead to deformations of the skeleton.
! For the height of the feed pans, the following rule-of-thumb generally
applies:
Height of the birds' back = height of the pan rim!
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
Key points for the daily inspection of birds
Check and document the following every day after the lights are switched
!
on in your house:
• functioning of drinker and feed lines (exact monitoring of water and
feed consumption can provide valuable information for bird
management),
• careful selection of birds and daily documentation,
• house climate (ventilation, house temperature),
• health and behaviour of the birds,
• manure composition.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
4.2.4 Preparation of the moving-out procedure
4.2.4.1 Climate before and after moving the birds out
Before moving the birds out:
Caution! Risk of suffocating or heat stroke!
The risk lies in the fact that the house gets too cold so that the ventilation system
automatically lowers the ventilation level. This means that neither fresh air nor heat are
transported into the house.
Prevent this from happening by specifically adjusting the minimum ventilation so that
the computer cannot lower the ventilation to a dangerous level. Checking the house
climate after long moving-out procedures is essential.
After moving the birds out:

If the moving-out procedure is paused at the end of the day, set all values back and

4.2.4.2 Light
To ensure that the herd is calm during the moving-out procedure, the dark phases have
to be shortened. This should take place three days before moving the birds out.
4.2.4.3 Shutting off the feed supply
The feed supply has to be shut off approx. 10-12 hours before the birds are moved out
to ensure that no feed remains in the line, thus facilitating the cleaning process later.
As soon as the remaining feed has been transported into the feed pans, all drive units
of the feed line have to be turned off. This prevents unnecessary wear of the feed line.
The birds should have access to water as long as possible and only be blocked from it
if absolutely required.

4.3 The feed pans
4.3.1 General features of the feed pan
• large, inwardly directed pan rim

= feed saving collar, feed losses are prevented
• pan can be mounted free swinging or rigidly at the tube

= always animal-friendly
• softly shaped pan rim

= no chest bruising during the final fattening.
4.3.2 BigPan 330
4.3.2.1 Features:
• Manual flooding: if the pan is swinging freely, the pan can easily be flooded for the
day-old chicks by simply spin it slightly
= no extra work for adjusting the feed level
• V-shaped bottom is seated deeply in the litter

= ideal for day-old chicks
• Slide shut-off
= for closing the pan
• Especially birds of more than 2 kg live weight are fed in a controlled manner. In this
way, the development of the cardio-vascular system and the skeleton can keep
pace with the increase in weight.
An essential prerequisite is that the feeding system distributes the feed rapidly
throughout the entire house upon each feeding time. The volume reducing insert
in combination with the sectional dish reduces the feed volume by approx. 2/3. This
allows filling the pans of one line with feed very rapidly.
• less damages to the skeleton, less leg and foot problems;

• improved feed conversion due to smaller fat deposits and lower mortality rate;
• precise attainment of the bird weights desired for the day of slaughter.
• The BigPan Plus is also suited for rearing ducks up to a weight of 2.5 kg. The
shallow sectional dish provides an optimum start of the ducklings, only requires a
small layer of litter and prevents feed losses.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
• Furthermore, ducks can very easily feed from the pan due to its sectional shape.
The grille prevents birds from entering the pan = thus preventing soiling of feed.
• BigPan 330 and BigPan Plus can also be used for rearing pullets and for feeding
layers. Supplementary wheat feeding can be a good alternative in growing broilers
for saving feed costs and for improving the birds' health.
The technical requirements for this are a second silo, the FW 99-B feed scale,
conveying augers (Flex Vey) from the silo to the scale and to the feeder as well as
the MC 95 production computer respectively Viper Touch (with full-broiler-
package). MC 95 / Viper Touch allows continuous adjustment of the portion of
wheat to the total ration according to the birds' development. Feed is mixed with
wheat via the weighing drum and the collecting basin.

4.3.3 FLUXX
4.3.3.1 Features:
• automatic flooding mechanism: as long as the feed pan is standing in the litter and
the Augermatic tube is lowered to the outer cylinder of the feed pans, the pan is
flooded automatically (4.3.9 ”Automatic flooding mechanism”).
= high feed level, ideal for day-old chicks.
• 5 or 8-arm resp. 14 or 16-arm grille, consisting of flexible grille bars

= feed is easily accessible for all birds
= day-old chicks can easily get in and out of the feed pan
• corrugated flat pan bottom

= ideal for day-old chicks at a low litter height
• V-shaped bottom is seated deeply in the litter

= ideal for day-olds
• baffles rotate with the outer cylinder

= prevents feed wastage
= for easy and thorough cleaning
• in suspended position, the pan is not flooded

= low feed level
= always fresh feed in the pan
= no feed wastage
• The broiler pan FLUXX not only satisfies the needs of day-old chicks, but also
those of heavy birds in the final grow-out phase.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
• As the birds grow, the entire feed line is raised which causes the flooding
mechanism to close thus decreasing the feed level inside the pan. This reduces
feed wastage (4.3.9 ”Automatic flooding mechanism”).
• Baffles at the outer cylinder of the pan additionally prevent feed wastage as they
keep the birds from pushing feed out of the pan.
• There are different models of FLUXX available:
• with a diameter of 330 or 360 mm
• with 5- or 14-arm grille respectively 8- or 16-arm grille;
• with deep pan or corrugated bottom
• with or without shut-off

4.3.5 MultiPan
4.3.5.1 Features:
• Can be used with or without feed saving collar.

• Engraving for precise adjustment of feed level in the pan.
• These feed pans were specially designed for alternative growing of broilers,
turkeys, ducks and other growing poultry (guinea fowls, pheasants, geese) up to a
live weight of 12 kg. Depending on the type of bird and feeding (ad libitum or
controlled), MultiPan or MultiPan Plus can be used.
• Both pans are equipped with a slide shut-off.
• For growing poultry up to approx 2.5 kg live weight as well as rearing of turkeys and
ducks, the pans are used without feed saving collar.
• From a live weight of approx. 2.5 kg upwards, the collar can be installed to minimize
feed losses.
• For controlled feeding, place a volume reducing insert into MultiPan Plus, reducing
the feed volume by approx. 2/3 in combination with the sectional dish. This ensures
rapid and uniform filling of all pans in one line immediately at the beginning of the
feeding.
• The sectional dish is ideally suited for ducks since they can feed easily due to the
shape of their beak.

4.3.6.1 Features:
• 16 eating places per feed pan; allow for a higher bird density and consequently less
investment costs per bird.
• feed level can be adjusted in 11 steps by one's own hand and cannot be adjusted
accidentally (spin ´n lock technology).
• 8 baffles at the circumference of the outer cylinder prevent feed losses.
• an integrated volume reducing insert allows for very small feed quantities per pan
and therefore a quick and equal filling of each feed pan on one circuit at the same
time; condition for a high uniformity of the flock.
• New locking mechanism between pan and grille allows for an easy opening of the
feed pan for cleaning purposes; less work.
• The specially formed dish has 4 cleaning openings. Even if it is closed, remaining
liquid of cleaning and disinfection can drain; no more accidental consumption of
highly concentrated disinfectants.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
Besides the above-mentioned features the Fluxx Breeder 360 rearing and
production (FXB360) has the following additional features:
• Special "female-only mechanism" which allows for the adjustment of 11 eating
window widths without having to open the feed pan.
• The levelling ring allows for the automatic adjustment of 4 eating window heights.
There are 44 possible combinations for the highest flexibility. Thus the
FXB360 is suited to keep the males away from the females’ feed for all
BB-breeds which makes it an ideal investment with a great future.
• An additional function of the levelling ring is the heightening of the pan rim when
the eating window height is reduced. This helps to minimise feed losses.
• Good illumination of the pan thanks to openings in the upper part of the inner grille
makes it easier for the birds to find the feed.
4.3.6.2 Minimum sensor at lower part for feed hopper
The lower part for feed hopper is equipped with a minimum sensor. It stops the
Augermatic drive after the daily amount of feed is distributed and the Augermatic
hopper runs empty. Thus, unnecessary noise and excessive wear of the system are
prevented.
• For an impeccable operation of the Augermatic line with FXB 360/FXB 360 rear.,
the birds have to eat sufficiently from the control pan.
Prevent cold, windy and uncomfortable areas around the control pan!
• Make sure that enough feed is replenished!

• Feed pans may be empty before the ration is fully distributed if ...
...the conveying tubes of the feed line turn empty due to repeated short
starting.
...the birds prefer to stay in the centre of the house. The birds eat thus
more from those feed pans, which are thus emptied quicker than those in
the surrounding areas.
...the birds do not eat sufficiently from the control pans or if the feed level
in the control pans is too high.

4.3.7 MalePan
4.3.7.1 Features:
• Fixed, not swinging tube connection via a compression spring and a holding pin.
• Shut-off for an equal distribution of the limited feed quantity on all males of the
breed with decreasing number of birds (mortality/selection).
• Stable 5-arm grille
• Deep pan to prevent feed wastage and for complete consumption of the required
daily rations for males.
• Numerical scale with exact and simple volume adjustment of all pans in a feeding
line.
4.3.7.2 Introduction
In broiler breeder houses, the separate sex feeding still has a very high production-
technical status.
This is important:
• to give a little smaller feed quantity to the males than to the females
• to control the sexual development of the males
• to avoid an uncontrolled weight gain as well as an early obesity.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
On the other hand, a feed recipe deviating from that of the hens shall also be offered
in individual cases.Separate male-female feeding ("separate sex feeding") can be put
into practice as follows:
• The males must be denied access to the feed of the females by means of a
relatively narrow eating grille.
• At the same time, a feeding place has to be offered to the males which cannot be
reached by the smaller hens due to its raised position.
Since the males are fed extremely restrictively as are the females, such a male feeding
system has to fulfil special requirements in order to give each male its exact daily ration.
Here, we distinguish different feeding procedures,
• according to the kind of quantity fixing
• and even distribution of the feed to the males.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
4.3.7.3 MalePan
Distribution of the daily ration by lowering the filled MalePan at the feeding time:
Here, we have the possibility to fix the daily ration per male:
• only by the volume adjusted at the outer cylinder of the "Male Pan",
• or to weigh the feed into the feed hopper additionally for a more exact fixing of the
feed quantity.
Advantages of the MalePan:

• The equal distribution of the feed ration is independent of the conveying lengths
and can be carried out up to 145 m from the gable.
• Every male obtains exactly the same volume (quantity) of feed.
• Thanks to the mostly suspended male feeding line, the birds have more place in
the scratching area. Through this, the insemination rate is improved. The danger
of misplaced eggs under the male pan is minimised.
• 7 - 9 males per feed pan.

The calculated feed quantities should only be regarded as reference values.

Since the flowability of the feed in the pan also depends on the surface structure and a
lot of other factors - apart from the special density, the humidity and fat contents - it is
absolutely necessary to measure the feed quantities with the sort of used feed.
Process of the feeding in principle with volume dosing:

1. The feed line is suspended inaccessible for the males.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
2. The feed hopper of the Augermatic is continually kept filled by an auger or a Flex-
Vey conveying auger. The daily ration is not weighed in.
3. The Augermatic conveying auger is switched on. The feed pans MalePan are then
filled one after another from the feed hopper to the drive unit. The feed quantity
depends on the height adjustment of the outer cylinder as well as the adjusted
volume of the feed quantity.
4. The "full" sensor of the last but one feed pan will switch off the Augermatic
conveying auger.
5. The Augermatic conveying auger is switched currentless and is lowered
automatically or manually to bird level. In this lowered position, there is generally
no refill of the MalePan feed pans.
6. After that, the system is suspended again and filled for the next day.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
4.3.7.4 MalePan Plus
Distribution of the daily ration during the eating time - without daily lifting and
lowering of the MalePan feed pans:
The complete daily ration for the males is distributed during the feeding and eating
time; it is not necessary to lift or lower the feed pans in a daily change. In order to
guarantee an even distribution of the feed quantity to all birds, the following techniques
of Male-Pan plus are described.
• A minimum sensor in the feed hopper keeps the Augermatic conveying auger filled
between two feed pans so that feed will be available in all feed pans immediately
after having switched on the drive.
• The conveying capacity of the Augermatic is increased to more than 1 t/h thanks
to a special drive unit.
• The integrated volume reducing insert reduces the amount of feed in the feed pan,
thus ensuring a quick refilling after the beginning of the feeding.
• The trough-shaped feed dish realises an extremely flat feed level. Through this the
feeding speed of all birds is adapted to a low level.
Advantages of the MalePan-plus:

• The feed pans must not be lifted or lowered every day.
• Every male obtains the same amount of feed.
• A flat feed level in the trough-shaped feed pan will reduce feed wastage.
• 7-8 males per feed pan.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
Technical details of the feed pan MalePan Plus:

(distribution during the feeding time - without daily lowering of the feed pans)
General process of the feeding procedure:
1. The complete daily ration for the males of this feeding line is weighed into the feed
hopper.
2. The Augermatic conveying auger is switched on for feeding. The Male-Pan plus
feed pans are all filled simultaneously with the feed quantity located in the
conveying tube between two feed pans.
3. The maximum sensor of the last but one feed pan controls the Augermatic
conveying auger according to the actual eating performance of the birds.
4. The minimum sensor at the bottom of the feed hopper of the Augermatic switches
off feeding. In this way, the conveying tube is still filled with feed and is therefore
prepared for the next day.
General process of the feeding procedure at the weight dosing:

1. The feed line is suspended inaccessible for the males.
2. The entire daily ration for the males of this feed line is weighed in the feed hopper.
3. The Augermatic conveying auger is switched on. The MalePan feed pans are then
filled one after another from the feed hopper to the drive unit.
4. The minimum sensor in the feed hopper of the Augermatic system switches off the
Augermatic conveying auger when the entire amount of feed weighed in has been
distributed.
5. If the "full" sensor of the last but one feed pan stops before, the height adjustment
at the outer cylinder of all feed pans must be modified that way that the entire daily
ration can be consumed.
6. Only a very small amount of feed should remain in the feed hopper which should
be the same from day to day.
7. The Augermatic conveying auger is switched currentless and is lowered
automatically or manually to bird level. In this lowered position, there is generally
no refill of the MalePan feed pans.
8. After that, the system is suspended again and filled for the next day.

4.3.9 Automatic flooding mechanism
In case of young birds (approx. day 1-3) the automatic flooding mechanism of the feed
pan should be activated. For this, the feed line is lowered until the tube of the
Augermatic (pos. 1) is placed directly on the outer cylinder of the pan (pos. 2). Now the
pan is completely filled and switched off by the sensor. Feed is easily accessible for the
young animals. In order to avoid high feed wastage, it is important that feeding is only
activated once a day.
Figure 4-6: Activate the automatic flooding mechanism (example: feed pan Vista)
After some days, the feed wastage may be too big since the birds can now better reach
the pan. Now the automatic flooding mechanism can be switched off by lifting the feed
line until the feed pan hangs minimally above the floor. Then only the lower part of the
pan is filled with feed. The feeding can now completely be controlled by the sensors
of the control pan. A deactivation is no longer necessary.

2. Observe norm ISO 4308 when selecting the cable (cranes and lifting appliances;
selection of wire ropes)
3. Fix the cable(s) to the cable winch.
The following graphics show how to fix the cable(s) depending on the mounting position
of the winch.
If one cable is used: Guide the cable from the inside through a large hole and then
through the ends of the cable clamps. Lock the cable clamp by tightening the nuts.
If two cables are used: Fix the cable by threading the end through the cable screw
and tightening the nut.

worn:
„Danger of accidents!“.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
4.4.3 Operation
1. Tighten all nuts before using the winch.

2. Oil all shafts and gear wheels before operating it for the first time.
3. Carry out a static test on the winch. Load the winch for 10 minutes with a load 1.5x
greater than the nominal load.
4. Turning the hand crank clockwise raises the load. Turning it anti-clockwise lowers
it.
5. Turning the hand crank clockwise and thereby raising the load causes the ratchet
to make a clicking noise as it engages. It does not make a clicking noise when
lowering.
6. To lock the load in position on the winch, turn the hand crank slowly clockwise until
you hear two “clicks”. Then slowly release the crank. You can lock the load in any
position you want.
Risk of injury
Improper use the cable winch may result in serious injuries.
• Never exceed the nominal capacity of the winch. This is based on
the first layer of the coiled cable on the winch (chapter ) and
Danger decreases with the increasing number of layers on the winch. The
nominal capacity of the outermost layer is less than 172 kg.
• Do not load the winch when the
cable is fully unwound. Keep at
least three full turns of cable
on the winch!
• Only ever operate the winch by
hand! This winch should not be
operated with a motor of any kind. If the winch cannot be
operated easily by hand, it has probably been overloaded.

4.5.2.4 Functioning of the sensor DOL 44RG
The motor of the AM drive is controlled by the sensor DOL 44RG with an adjustable
time delay of 0-300 seconds.
When the feed reaches the head of the sensor DOL 44RG in the control pan, the motor
of AM drive is turned off automatically.
When the feed level drops and the sensor DOL 44RG is no longer touched by the feed,
the motor of the AM drive is turned on again, after a certain time-delay. As the feed level
constantly changes because of the feed consumption of the animals, the spiral would
have to be turned on and off frequently. To avoid this, the sensor DOL 44RG is
equipped with a time-delay mechanism.
The light diode (LED) shows the current status of the sensor:
LED status Function

LED off Relay switched off

Pos. Description
1 Light-emitting diode (LED)
2 Potentiometer for the adjustment of the sensitivity (1 mm of 12 mm)
3 Potentiometer for the adjustment of the delay time (0 s to 300 s)
The capacity of reaction of the sensor DOL 44RG is so great that the
varying moistness of the feed changes the switch time. For the
adjustment, the feed should be as dry as possible. The drier the feed, the
more secure the switching function of the sensor DOL 44RG.
If sensor DOL 44RG in the control pan does not interrupt the power supply of the AM
drive, the sensitivity has to be increased. If the sensor DOL 44RG in the control pan
does not react and the motor of the AM drive is not started, the sensitivity has to be
decreased.

Ideally, the feed delivery date should be close to the moving-out date so that the silo,
the Flex Vey system, the Augermatic line and the feed pans are empty when you want
to stop the feeding.
If this is not possible, try to shut off the feed supply from the silo so early that the goal
described above is achieved by all parts of the silo's outlet system. Where this option
is not possible either, it may be necessary to remove the remaining feed by letting the
line run dry as soon as the feed supply is switched off.
5.1 Drive units
• Under normal conditions, there is no need for oil or grease change.

• Carry out the change of oil in accordance with the directions of the gear motor
manufacturer (see sticker at the gear motor). The lubricating grease for gear
motors type ESTA amounts to 90 grams for 0,37 kW or 280 grams for 0,75 kW
motors.
• In exceptional cases, e.g. after leakages, we recommend the following lubricants:
ARAL aral grease FDO

BP BP energrease HT-EP-00
CALYPSOL calypsol D 8024
ESSO esso fibrax EP 370
MOBILOIL mobilflex 46
SHELL shell special reductor grease H

• Prevent condensation and cleaning water from penetrating the inside of these
devices.
• Regularly clean the motors' cooling fins to prevent overheating.
5.1.1 Maintenance of the drive unit AM6
The drive AM 6 is maintenance-free.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
Maintenance Page 121
5.1.2 Oil level control AM5
All AM5 Augermatic drives have a ventilation opening on the gear unit. This ensures
that hot air can escape from the inside of the gear unit during operation.
The ventilation opening is located in the access shaft on the front side of the gear unit
and is closed during transport (Picture 1, Pos. 1).
Before putting the drive into operation, open the gear ventilation by pulling out
the plug (Picture 2, Pos. 1).
Picture 1: Ventilation closed Picture 2: Ventilation open
If the ventilation remains closed, leakage from the gear unit is likely.
Leaks may occur on the drive AM5 as a result of bleed plugs not being opened or of
spraying directly with high-pressure cleaner.
To prevent damage, a visual check of the Augermatic drive must thus be performed
regularly after each batch, however, every 6 weeks at the latest. If a leak is detected,
the drives' gearbox oil level must be checked.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
On the gearbox, there is a monitor screw

(detail A) which must be opened for
checking the oil level.
If the gearbox leaks oil or if the oil is right
beneath the lower edge of the hole, then
oil level is correct. Otherwise use oil of
specification SAE 85W-90 until it comes
out of the monitor hole.

5.2.4 Weld the auger HD AM
Avoid a too hot welding of the auger

Make sure that the welding device is correctly adjusted. Too hot welding
will change the material properties of the auger and thus increases the risk
for rupture.
The welding seam must not be cooled down abruptly with water or
other liquids.
Let the auger slowly cool down at the

air. A cooling with any liquids makes the
material of the auger brittle and thus
increases the risk of fracture!
– Selection of the welding filler metal

a) Gas metal arc welding
Welding wire: SG 2 Ø 0.8mm
Description according to EN ISO 14341-A: G 42 3 M G3Si1
b) Manual arc welding

Stick electrode 2.5 x 350 [mm]
Description according to EN ISO 2560-A: E 38 2 RB 12
– Procedure
• Step 1: Cleaning and degreasing of conveying auger
The ends of the auger must be thoroughly cleaned and degreased before the
welding process. For this purpose it is possible to use for example customary wash
dilution.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
• Step 2: Alignment of the conveying augers to be welded

Both ends of the auger must be aligned and fixed to each
other as an L- or U-profile. The fixation of the conveying
augers can be done by means of normal screw clamps.
The longer the profiles for the alignment, the more accurate the alignment
of the conveying augers to each other.
a) In order to prevent damage to

the tubes due to sharp edges,
the ends of the auger have to be
furnished with amply 45° bevels
and edges have to be removed.
b) Both ends of the augers must overlap 30mm. It is important that they are pushed
in front of each other and do not twist them together.
• Step 3: Preparation of a welding seam
a) Join both auger ends with an

internal welding seam with a
length of 20mm.
t= Height of the auger (in section)

b= Maximum depth of the welding seam (approx. 0.5 x t)
The distance of the welding seam must be 5

mm from both ends of the auger.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
! b)
The welding seam has to cool down for approx. 30 seconds after the
welding. An acceleration of the cooling-down process for example by
means of water is not allowed!
After the 20 mm welding seam has cooled

down, the ends of the auger have to be
welded to the respectively other auger by
means of an additional welding seam.
Explanation of symbols of the welding seam:
x= Material thickness e.g. Augermatic auger 3.85mm

b= 0.5 x height of the auger e.g. Augermatic auger 0.5 x 8 = 4[mm]
!
When the welder prepares the welding seam he has to start at point 1 and
move the welding device towards point 2.
It must be observed that point 2 is not heated for too long as this spot will
soften and consequently break during operation.
c) After both welding processes are carried out, there is no need for any rework e.g. with
an angle grinder. An edge which might have developed during the welding process
does not disturb the feed transport!
If the manual arc-welding procedure was applied, just remove the dross by tapping.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
5.3 Replace conveying tubes
Check all conveying tubes regarding bulges and deformations. Damaged conveying
tubes must not be mounted!

6 Hygiene, health and safety, cleaning and disinfection

There are different measures for cleaning and disinfection which guarantee optimum
hygiene on the farm.
All these measures have the following objective:
1. Reduction and removal of contaminations
2. Prevention of diseases
3. Creation of optimum performance conditions for the birds
Since the conditions are very different on each farm, the following explanations serve
as guideline for the above mentioned objectives.
6.1 Hygiene measures for maintaining a high hygiene level
Maintaining a high hygiene level on the farm is an important factor in poultry

management. Remember that poultry houses cannot be sterile. It is therefore important
to reduce the number of pathogenic germs and to prevent their multiplication. In order
to guarantee a hygienic farm, Big Dutchman recommends observing the following
measures:
• The farm staff is not allowed to have contact to birds or other poultry outside of the
farm!
• All vehicles must be disinfected before entering the farm. Install sprinkler hoses as
well as disinfection tubs for tyres at a place outside of the farm!
• The farm should be fenced! The gate should only be opened when required.
• No other poultry and birds may be on the farm!
Farms should always be safeguarded against invasion of wild birds, if possible!
The buildings themselves must be protected against the invasion of birds of any
kind (even the smallest oscine birds). This can be realised e.g. by installing bird
screens in front of the ventilation openings.
• There should be no rodents on the farm! Draw up a plan for pest control and
implement it!
• Eliminate weed on the farm premises!
• No feed should left open anywhere on the farm! Store feed in a dry place and keep
it out of reach of animals!
• Hand disinfectants as well as disinfecting mats have to be available in every
service room!
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
Hygiene, health and safety, cleaning and disinfection Page 143
• All hygiene provisions should be complied with not only during the batch but also
during the entire service period!
• Keep the number of unnecessary visitors on the farm as low as possible. When
entering the farm / building, all visitors should wear protective clothing and enter
their name into the visitor book!
The farm should have a hygiene sluice for changing clothes and prevent a
spreading of germs! This sluice must be constructed according to the black/white
principle.
The "black" outdoor area which is regarded as potentially contaminated with

pathogenic germs shall be separated from the "white" inside area of the house
which is less contaminated so that a transmission of germs is hindered or
prevented.
Persons must take all their clothes off in a "black" dressing room in front of the
passage to the building; after having passed a shower, they will then reach another
"white" room where they can put on their work clothes / protective clothes. When
leaving the house, all these actions have to be taken in reverse order. All persons
entering or leaving the house have to pass through this hygiene sluice!
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
6.2 Staff health and safety
Big Dutchman would like to remind you that for all methods used on the farm, including
the hygiene program, the safety and well-being of your staff should always be carefully
considered. For most countries, there are laws and or/provisions which should be
complied with.
Do not forget to provide your staff with protective equipment required for the correct
carrying out of their tasks.
The protective equipment includes:
• protective clothing
• safety shoes
• protective mask, if necessary
• eye protection
• nose and mouth mask
• gloves
Be very careful when using disinfectants, especially gaseous agents, since many
agents available on the market may be harmful for the staff.
Shut off the power when cleaning live parts!

Protect moisture-sensitive components like control cabinets and motors
from splash water during wet cleaning by covering them!
Water in combination with dust and feed remains can lead to slippery
floors!
Cleaning agents and disinfectants can cause corrosion! Observe the

manufacturer's instructions!
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
6.3 Cleaning and disinfection
6.3.1 Comparison between wet and dry cleaning
The system may either be wet-cleaned or dry-cleaned. Wet cleaning allows for a more
effective disinfecting process.
The system must be ventilated dry immediately after a wet cleaning. If the system is
not dried and is damp for a very long time, rust may form and can damage the
components.
Dry cleaning is the best option regarding a long service life of your system, but it may
not be the right method for you. We learned from different customers worldwide that dry
cleaning alone is not able to sufficiently reduce the number of germs, thus causing
more diseases in the birds and in turn reducing the animal performance.
Wet cleaning removes biological substances and germs more efficiently from the
system than dry cleaning.
If your program includes the use of disinfectants, you should also consider that
biological substances might protect the germs.
Young birds with low immune systems are exposed to germs which originate from the
last herd and which were not eliminated during the cleaning process. Big Dutchman
recommends discussing the details with your veterinarian.
6.3.2 Service life of equipment
!
Important
Big Dutchman uses the best corrosion-free steel grades available on the market. In
some models, specific parts, especially in critical areas of the system, are made of
Galfan steel which provides the highest protection possible.
Still, it is common knowledge that some methods influence the product's service life
negatively, independent of the quality of the corrosion protection and the supplier of the
equipment. These unfavourable methods include:
(a) wet cleaning of the components if they are not immediately dried afterwards;
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
(b) high-pressure cleaning which may be more aggressive than normal cleaning,
depending on the equipment and the duration of the cleaning process;
(c) use of disinfectants which can damage steel or plastics and shorten the service life
if they are used in high concentrations or longer than necessary.
These notes also refer to the building if this is made of coated steel.
!
Important
When choosing the disinfectant, you must pay attention to the corrosion
resistance.
Especially the disinfectants on acid basis tend to dissolve the zinc coat of
galvanized components.

6.3.3 Carrying out cleaning and disinfection
Cleaning must be carried out in a way that the surface structure, colour and original
condition are clearly visible in every case.

6.3.3.2 Before cleaning
• In order to guarantee a quick and thorough cleaning by means of a high-pressure

cleaner, the feeding system must be brought to an optimal working height with a
winch system.
The feed pans as well as the entire feeding system are so stable that a cleaning
with a high-pressure cleaner is possible without causing any damages.
Regarding the height adjustment of the feed line see also chapter
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
6.3.3.3 Primary cleaning, combating of rodents and applying insecticides
1. Remove all remaining feed as well as litter rests and manure from the system!
Important:
The feed conveying tubes must be completely empty before cleaning the
house with water!
Rests can harden through the moisture. They are also a hygienic risk.
2. Remove the dust from all equipment pieces and all places below the coverings!
3. Treat walls and ceilings with insecticides while the house is still warm.
• A thorough cleaning and disinfection does not have any success if germs are
distributed by flys over the freshly disinfected surfaces.
4. Kill off rodents (mice, rats) and arthropodes which can transmit and distribute
germs of animal diseases!
5. All equipment which can be removed from the house should be taken outside.
6.3.3.4 Soaking
1. Only if possible: To make sure that the surfaces do not dry early during the
following soaking procedure, both ventilation and heating should be switched off
before starting with the soaking.
2. Soak the interior of the building, walls, ceilings and the residual equipment approx.
10 hours before the wet cleaning. Use fat- and protein-dissolving products.
• During soaking make sure that sufficient liquid arrives on the dirt in order to
dissolve the dried dirt layer.
3. Avoid a re-drying of the dirt until the wet cleaning is started.
Thorough soaking can reduce the duration of the following cleaning

period considerably.
6.3.3.5 Wet cleaning
For the wet cleaning, the pans should remain closed during the cleaning process so
that they can swing under the pressure of the water jet. After the high-pressure
cleaning, the pans should be opened so that the water can drain off.
1. Clean the house with pressure washers, starting with the ceiling and working down
to the floor, paying particular attention to ventilation elements, pipelines, edges and
top surfaces of beams.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
2. Make sure the house is well lit during the cleaning operation so that dirt is clearly
visible.
3. Dirty drinkers and water tanks are potential hazards and should therefore be
cleaned and disinfected (see also chapter 6.3.3.7 ”Disinfection”).
4. Any furniture taken outside and the exterior of the building, including outdoor
concreted areas, should also be washed down.
5. Keep in mind that some parts of the system and building must not be cleaned with
water, as e.g. electrical motors, electrical control panels as well as everything that
could be damaged by water.
6. The Big Dutchman motors are designed for gentle cleaning, however not for high-
pressure cleaning.
The cleaning process has been successfully finished when all

cleaned parts are visually clean and the drained off water is free from
dirt particles.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
6.3.3.6 Rinsing and drying
1. After washing it is advisable to rinse the surfaces and equipment with clean water
to remove residues of cleaning agents.
2. Rinse the house starting with the ceiling and working down to the floor.
3. Ventilate the house thoroughly after having completed the cleaning so that it can
dry quickly.
• Remove water accumulations which cannot dry fast enough by hand!
4. Oil all the chain wheels, roller chains and rust-sensitive parts again.
5. After cleaning, carry out necessary repair and maintenance works.
A thorough and careful house cleaning is an imperative precondition

for a successful house disinfection!
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
6.3.3.7 Disinfection
Many hygiene programs all over the world demand the use of disinfectants after the
cleaning process. You should however keep in mind that many disinfectants may
reduce the service life of your installation.
For the choice of the correct disinfectant, please observe the following:
• Could the disinfectant endanger the health of persons?
– Take all necessary measures (e.g. protective clothing, gloves and respiratory
equipment, etc.) to exclude any dangers for the persons handling the
disinfectants!
• Which infectious agents can be combated with it?
– In case of doubt please contact your veterinarian.
• For which temperature range is the disinfectant provided?
– If the disinfectant is used at temperatures other than those specified, the
efficacy of the agent will be reduced.
• Is the disinfectant appropriate for the treatment of galvanized steel?
– Unsuitable disinfectants can lead to corrosion of the steel and destroy it!
• Is the disinfectant appropriate for the treatment of plastics?
– Unsuitable disinfectants can destroy plastics!
• Is the disinfectant appropriate for the treatment of other materials existing in
your house?
– Unsuitable disinfectants can destroy these materials.
The instruction leaflet and/or packing or the safety data sheet of the
manufacturer will provide you with information regarding the
protection of persons handling the disinfectant and regarding the
resistance of various materials to the disinfectant.
In any case, you should weigh up the advantages and disadvantages for each single
component of your system when you decide to use a disinfectant.
Please also consider its involvement in the entire process of your hygiene program.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
Disinfection procedure:
!
Important
An equipment like the Augermatic feed line is normally installed in a nearly airtight
building. This allows the use of gaseous substances which eliminate germs. This is a
method quite common in some parts of the world.
Below you will find a description of a wet disinfection:
1. Please consider and observe the usage recommendations of the manufacturer
regarding concentration, soaking time, admissible ambient temperature,
temperature of the components to be disinfected and quantity of the disinfectant
solution!
2. Take all measures (e.g. protective clothing, gloves and respiratory equipment, etc.)
to exclude any dangers for the persons handling the disinfectants!
3. Important: Never mix several disinfectants since the single active agents can
cancel each other and moreover new explosive connections could form.
4. The surfaces and objects to be disinfected must be clean and dry!
• Residual moisture or puddles in the house can lead to a dilution of the
disinfectant and thus to a reduction of the efficacy. Consequently, more
disinfectants must be applied in order to achieve an optimal result.
5. The disinfectant is applied starting in the back of the house and working to the front
respectively starting with the ceiling and working down to the floor.
6. When applying the disinfectant make sure that the surfaces are completely
moistened.
• This working solution should be applied with max. 10 to 12 bar working
pressure and reduced conveying capacity since otherwise aerosols will
develop and the wetting properties change.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
7. During the soaking time, the ventilation system should be switched off if possible
in order to avoid that the surfaces dry up too fast.
• The treated houses may only be entered with a respirator mask for a
certain time, depending on the method of applying, soaking time and
active agent.
8. The disinfected surfaces and objects should be rinsed thoroughly if the
specifications of the disinfectant manufacturer demand this.
!
Important
The feeding and drinker systems however must always be rinsed
thoroughly after the disinfection.
Drinker lines must always be rinsed on the inside after completed
disinfection. In case the soaking time is too long, the drinking nipples may
become leaky. Chlorous disinfectants are to be regarded as especially
critically in this connection.
All residues of the disinfectant should therefore be removed.
Checking the disinfection results:

Appropriate steps should be taken to check the efficiency of the disinfection.
1. Take adhesive film tests and swab samples of housing equipment and surfaces!
• The total number of germs / cm² is determined with these tests. It should be
below 1000 CFU (= colony forming units).
If the germ presence is determined to be too high following cleaning and

disinfection, the above measures are to be repeated and the moving a
new batch in is to be postponed.
6.3.3.8 Drying after a complete and successful wet disinfection procedure
The system must be ventilated dry immediately after a complete and successful wet
disinfection procedure.
If the system is not dried and is damp for a very long time, rust can form and thus
damage the components.

A= Plug for gear aeration is open
Motor with integrated thermostat relay:

The motor windings have thermostat relays for the overheating protection. These
relays protect the motor against too high temperatures and thus prevent a "jamming"
and "burning out" of the motor.
Warning:
This protective device does NOT replace the protective motor
switch.
Anti-perch fixture (2):

The AM drive 5 already comes with an anti-perch fixture, so that additional installation
works are not necessary.
Direct intervention well in the console:

The direct intervention well is dimensioned spaciously to allow for easy mounting of the
Augermatic spiral. It is closed with a plastic grid, which can easily be opened by
releasing the snap fasteners with a screw driver.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
Terminal box (5):

Integrated in the terminal box is a control relais and an On/Off switch for the drive.The
drive it protected by means of a flap against unintentional operation by the animals.
Also included in the terminal box are a micro-fuse for the sensor and an overheating
protection for the motor. This protective device does NOT replace the protective
motor switch, which has to be installed either externally on the gable wall or in a
central control box, as hitherto.
Tube adapter for 45 mm and 50,8 mm tubes

The AM drive 5 can be used with 50.8 mm or 45 mm tubes. When using a 45 mm tube,
a reducing bush (31) for the tube adaptor has to be installed at the drive.
Suspension eye:
By means of the suspension eye that is integrated in the motor housing the AM drive5
can easily be secured at the suspension cords of the feed circuit.
Gear aeration:
The vent of the gear - directly above the drive shaft - has to be opened before initiation
of the drive by pulling off the plug.

Page 260 Glossary
9 Glossary
Ad libitum feeding:
describes a feeding at which the birds can dispose freely of the respective feed portions
at any time, i.e. the feed is not portioned.
American Wire Gauge:

(abbreviation AWG) describes a coding for wire diameters and is mainly used in North
America. It characterizes electric lines from cords and solid wire and is particularly used
in the electrical engineering for the designation of the wire cross section.
Designated use:
is the correct use of product in accordance with its intended purpose.
Rated current:
designates the current of a protective switch specified by the manufacturer of an
electric device for a given operating condition.
Disinfection (hygiene):
is the targeted partial reduction of the germ number, especially on surfaces (decrease
in germ number).
Final growing period:

designates the last growing period during which the bird achieves the final (slaughter)
weight due to targeted feeding.
Incorrect use:
is improper use of a product, not in accordance with its intended purpose.
Rated quantity (for thimble DIN 6899):

(abbreviation NG) designates the largest possible rope diameter which may be used
for this thimble.
Running meter:
(abbreviation: r.m.) is a measuring unit which is used to measure goods which can be
purchased as merchandise, yard goods or roll goods and which dispose of an even
cross section, or length indications for invariant elements independent of their other
measures.
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
Glossary Page 261
Live weight:
(abbreviation l.w.) designates the weight of a living, not fed or watered production
animal or animal for slaughter.
Restrictive feeding:
designates a feeding method with which only so much feed is given as can actually be
eaten by the animals.
Groove width (for thimble DIN 6899):

(abbreviation g.w.) designates the width of the groove in which the rope runs on the
thimble resp. in which it lies.
Protection class:
designates the suitability for different environmental conditions. The abbreviation IP is
for International Protection. The first code digit of the IP-code is for the protection
against foreign substances, the second digit stands for the protection against water.
The higher the number, the higher the existing protection.
State of the art:

represents the technical possibilities at a certain point in time, based on validated
scientific and technical knowledge.
Thermic:
(from Greek "thermos" = warm) designates figures, procedures, materials, processes,
theories, etc. which are connected with the noticeable exchange of heat or its effect
influence or which significantly influence temperature differences, isolation, hot gases
and the corresponding calculations or modelling.
Preparatory fattening:
designates a weight section during the phase feeding, from the time when the birds are
housed in until they have achieved a certain weight. During this time, the birds grow
quickly and do not become fat so soon since they get certain feed during this fattening
period.

1 Checklist key points summary
Important! Please remember to cut this page and the following pages along the line from this manual and keep them save as blank
master copies!
Date Name
Check the following every day before the lights are switched on in your house:
Keypoints Result Note
functioning of the feed lines => exact monitoring of water and feed consumption can provide valuable information for bird
management
house climate=> ventilation, house temperature
physique and behaviour of the birds:=> select the birds and document the your daily selection and losses
bird distribution
birds' health
mortality
manure composition
Page 1 / 6
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
The following should be controlled and documented daily during operation:
optimum height adjustment of the feed pans

=> rule-of-thumb: Height of the birds' backs = height of pan rim / Make sure that the cable winch is used correctly
proper and safe functioning of the cable winch
functioning of the conveying auger

=> e.g. noise development or warm places at the conveying tube
bird weight
=> achieve the desired bird weight for day seven by adjusting humidity and temperature, if necessary
birds' behaviour
=> in order to judge the climate conditions
air humidity during the first three days

=> try to maintain this at 60 - 70% and later at more than 50%
temperature, if this exceeds 70%

=> if necessary, reduce the temperature and monitor the birds' behaviour
temperature and minimum ventilation

=> to stimulate the birds' activity and appetite
Page 2 / 6
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
The following should be controlled and documented daily during operation:
correct feed level adjustment of the feed pans
whether the protective grille is correctly fixed in the feed hopper
Page 3 / 6
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
Control and document at each batch:
heat the house before moving the birds in until a temperature of 30°C is reached at the bird level
=> The correct moving-in temperature is the most important factor and significantly influences the fattening process!
make sure that the walls are sufficiently heated before bringing the litter in
are the conveying tubes aligned exactly horizontally
is the sensor correctly placed in the control pan and does it function properly?
are the feed pans tightly closed?
Page 4 / 6
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
start the production computer 2 - 3 days before moving the birds in
fill feed line shortly before moving birds in

=> so that the birds can immediately start eating
the feed pans should be flooded for the first days to facilitate feed intake
(manual or automatic flooding device)
during the first hours and days after moving the birds in, make sure that all birds have found feed and water
on the first morning after moving the birds in, check if their crops are filled with feed and water
=> The crops of birds which have taken in feed and water are full, soft and rounded. If the crop is filled and hard, the bird
ate but did not drink. 95 to 100 % of crops should be filled 24 hours after moving-in.
the flooding mechanism shoud be turned off starting with the third day
=> to prevent feed wastage.
shorten the dark phases 3 days before the birds are moved out
shut off the feed supply 10 to 12 hours before the birds are moved out
Page 5 / 6
Edition: 01/2018 M 7218 GB
clean the house and the equipment thoroughly after the moving-out procedure
in case of thermal disinfection, a temperature 60°C must not be exceeded
make sure that the system is refilled only one week after a wet cleaning
=> to prevent residual moisture in the conveying tubes
make sure that the cleaning water is drained off completely of the feed hopper
