Imetec feed pusher series: essential equipment for modernizing feeding on farms
In the context of large-scale livestock farming, the efficiency of the feeding process directly determines the operating costs and economic profitability of the farm. The traditional manual method of pushing feed has many disadvantages: low productivity, high labor costs, and significant feed losses. The Imetec feed pusher series combines innovative technology and thoughtful ergonomics, providing efficient, intelligent, and cost-effective solutions for livestock farms, becoming a key piece of equipment for modernizing the feeding system.
High-performance operating system improves livestock feed quality and reduces feed loss. The patented dual-screw system simultaneously pushes and mixes the feed, improving its freshness and taste quality, while eliminating stress in animals caused by uneven distribution of feed. The feed coverage area is 1.8 meters, and the uniformity of feed distribution exceeds 98%, ensuring balanced nutrition for each livestock head. The equipment also performs the function of cleaning the feeding area, maintains sanitary cleanliness, and reduces the risk of disease spread. The residual amount of feed is reduced to 2–3%. The independent traction frame allows for the transportation of loads weighing up to 500 kilograms, providing multifunctional operation.
The intelligent navigation system marks the beginning of an era of unmanned farm management. The intelligent model is equipped with ultrasonic navigation, automatically mapping out the room layout without additional markers, ensuring centimeter-level positioning accuracy. The obstacle recognition system detects moving animals and foreign objects, automatically selects a safe route, and avoids obstacles. At a speed of 18 meters per minute, the equipment can completely process a standard 210-meter corral in one hour. Control is carried out remotely via mobile devices, and the automatic bypass function minimizes human intervention. The device performs up to 16 feed pushing cycles per day, increasing livestock feed consumption and boosting milk yield and weight gain rates.
