Feeder Kit
The most efficient way to feed your herd/cattle
The valmetal feeder allows you to feed your herd with exceptional quality feed thanks to its ingenious operation, the low maintenance requirement and high level effeciency. From the mixer to the cow, the TMR keeps its uniformity and its consistency. All forage, grains, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals remain mixed as during the unloading, regardless of the lenght of the travel.
The cow is not able to sort out individual ingredients and must eat the very important, but less tasty roughage, along with the rest of the ration. No matter where the conveyor is installed, (inside or outside), above mangers or suspended from the ceiling, Valmetal feeder conveyors offer flexibility and efficiency, while ensuring an uniform feeding.

A regular and continuing flow
The Belt Feeder is the perfect way to automate your feeding.
Multiple configurations available
Feeder conveyors are safe, simple and thoroughly economical.
Available models
Regular feeder kit
Valmetal regular belt feeder requires only one motor to drive belt and plow. The conveying belt moves quickly in one direction while a plow drops feed in the bunk. The plow reverses at each end of the feeder automatically and smothly with the reliable continuous loop cable drive. To provide split-lot feeding the lenght of the bunk, a mechanical “tripper” switches the feed diverter automatically every complete revolution of the plow. The model allowed to convey and distribute food up to 200 ft.
Plow: one-way directional belt
Low profile feeder kit
The low profile model provides the same characteristics and benefits; in addition, it features an independent plowdrive system with an instant reversing motor, which allows delivery of different rations to different groups of cattle. Its design makes it the ideal feeder for in-barn installation. Suspended from the ceiling, it requires only 14” of height.
One-way plow – two-way directional belt
Low profile feeder kit - 4 ways

How does the tripper works ?
The plow, at every complete revolution, contacts the tripper and changes from one side to the other allowing to feed the opposite side of the conveyor.
