Advantages of the multi-functional feed residue collection machine IMETEC
In large-scale livestock and sheep farming, the accumulation of feed residues in feed corridors, significant feed losses, high costs of manual cleanup, and low work efficiency are always acute problems in farming. The multi-functional feed residue collection machine IMETEC is designed specifically for modern farms. Thanks to its thoughtful design, high quality, and multifunctionality, it has become standard essential equipment for reducing costs and improving the efficiency of farm operations.
The main advantage of this machine is the savings on feed and labor. The equipment features a combined design with a front roller brush and a hydraulic scraper, ensuring seamless removal of food residues in the corners of feeding passages. The feed extraction rate exceeds 95%, which effectively reduces the loss of full-feed mixed feed TMR, hay, straw, alfalfa, and other materials, allowing farms to save significant feed costs annually. At the same time, the machine is operated by one person and replaces the manual cleaning that used to be performed by 3–5 workers. Labor productivity is significantly improved, the problem of staff shortages and high labor costs is alleviated. The payback period for the equipment is short, and the economic benefits are evident.
The machine combines the functions of collecting and distributing feed in one unit. It integrates the processes of collecting, transporting, and distributing feed residues. Some modifications feature an integrated design of "collect - mix - distribute". The collected feed residues are re-mixed and used again for feeding, which eliminates intermediate transportation and further reduces losses. In addition to collecting feed residues, the equipment is used for transporting silage and distributing daily rations. This significantly increases the utilization rate of the equipment, eliminates the need to purchase additional machines, and reduces the farm's investment costs.
The body is made of high-manganese steel Q345B with precision welding and CNC machining. The material is resistant to impacts and corrosion, making it ideal for the challenging operating conditions of farms: high humidity, heavy dust, and acidic-alkaline environments. The main hydraulic and transmission components are of high quality. Key components are sealed against dust and moisture. The machine has a low failure rate, is durable, easy to maintain and operate on a daily basis, and has minimal long-term costs.
