Overcoming bridging issues in bulk feed bins

Bridging issues in bulk feed tanks have been a longtime challenge faced by producers. Both bridging and “rat-holing” inside bulk bins owing to feeds with added fat, extra-fine grinding, and high heat and humidity contribute to inadequate feed flow through delivery systems and frequent out-of-feed events for animals across species. Repeated and unplanned out-of-feed occurrences can negatively affect ADFI and ADG.

Featuring no  hammers or high-frequency vibrations, Flow Pro uses a gently-rotating agitator in a bin’s upper boot or plastic transition to  ensure continuous feed flow to  animals.
