SAC – Saturnus feed system features a robust feeding station, top quality electronics, advanced feeding software and flexible possibilities to extend the system.
The feeding station can supply a maximum of four different feed types. Liquid additive can also be
dispensed. The feed falls into the feed trough at the same time from the synthetic hopper. The shape of the feed trough ensures that the animals can easily consume the feed, which shortens the length of time spent at the feeding station. The solid open sides of the station protects and calms the cow during feeding.
Smart
After feed, corrected by the eating speed of the animal, has been dosed, the anti-spill valve automatically closes the auger of the automatic feeder. This prevents any feed falling into the trough not allocated for the particular animal, so avoiding animals 'bumping’ against the feeding station.
The cows are identified using a TIRIS-collar transponder and an antenna in the feed trough. This ISO-transponder is extremely reliable and is also used in all other SAC automatic systems. As an option, the feeding system can be extended with an MRS (Motion Registration System) to register the individual animal activity.
Solid
SAC has chosen for a robustly designed, open feeding station. The use of resistant materials such as stainless steel and sturdy synthetic materials ensures a long lifetime of use. The parlour electronics are thoroughly tested during and after the production process, and are mounted in the actual feeding stations. This guarantees simple and quick installation, and results in reliable, low maintenance operation of the feeding station and its electronics. The thousands of feeding systems in use worldwide testify to this reliability.
