The complete system is officially named the Multi-Zone Centralized Feeding Mode – Overhead Feed Delivery System.

It adopts an integrated design based on:

“Centralized Feed Storage + Overhead Conveying Pipeline Network + Multi-Terminal Point-to-Point Distribution”

This system architecture fundamentally restructures the feed circulation and distribution process within large-scale farms.

A centralized feed storage area is established in the clean zone surrounding the farm, with large-capacity galvanized steel feed silos installed in a centralized configuration.

Feed delivery trucks transport different types of feed from outside the farm and unload them into the corresponding centralized feed silos according to feed type.

The main overhead conveying pipelines are installed on vertical support columns, with the disc chain conveying trunk lines running horizontally throughout the farm.

By controlling the electric diverter hoppers and electric three-way diverters, different types of feed can be accurately directed to the designated feed silos located at each livestock house.

This configuration enables centralized feed supply across the entire farm, creating an integrated conveying process from centralized storage and overhead transportation to multi-zone distribution and terminal feed storage, while minimizing unnecessary feed truck movement within the farm.

The entire equipment adopts a modular design, which can be flexibly combined and expanded according to the area of ​​the farm and the scale of stock. The core components are as follows:

Galvanized steel feed tower:  As the core of the system's material storage, the high-strength galvanized steel sheet is corrosion-resistant and rust-proof, suitable for long-term outdoor use. It is equipped with high and low material level monitoring devices to monitor the feed situation inside the tower. The large-capacity feed towers are centrally located and can hold more than 100 tons of feed at a time, greatly reducing the number of times the feed needs to be unloaded.

Drive system: The core of the entire disc conveyor system provides traction for long-distance trunk line conveying, with overload protection design to prevent material blockage and disc jamming failures, ensuring long-term stable operation.

Chain conveyor assembly: the core of the conveying medium, with wear-resistant polymer discs and steel traction chains, smooth and wear-resistant. Compared with traditional augers, it has a lower feed breakage rate over long distances, and is highly adaptable to turning and climbing. It can be used to build complex high-altitude pipeline networks.

Electric feed hopper and electric tee: The electric feed hopper controls the selection of any centralized feed tower for feeding, and the electric tee enables the feed to fall into the desired target feed tower, realizing the precise delivery of different feeds to the desired target feed tower.

Vertical support structure + high-altitude delivery pipeline: Galvanized steel pipe columns are used to lay the delivery pipeline in the air, which does not occupy the ground breeding passage, avoids muddy and disinfection areas, and the pipeline is neat and tidy.

Combining equipment parameters and application scenarios, Famou's high-altitude centralized feeding mode has four core competitive advantages that precisely address industry pain points:

1. Large-scale centralized delivery capacity, suitable for ultra-large-scale farms.The daily feed delivery capacity can reach 50-100 tons or more, with stable delivery efficiency.

2. Strengthen biosecurity defenses and effectively block the spread of diseases.

This is the core value of the model: feed tankers remain outside the farm area to unload, without having to enter the core breeding area. External vehicles and personnel do not come into contact with the breeding area, cutting off the path for vehicles to carry pathogens into the farm from the source. Feed is transported through closed pipelines throughout the process, with no open spillage or dust pollution, reducing contact between rats and birds and feed, significantly reducing the probability of African swine fever and epidemic diseases, and achieving scientific and effective epidemic prevention.

3. Fully Automatic Intelligent Control, Precise and Stable Feeding

The entire process is fully automated, from material discharging from the central bulk silo, long-distance conveying, to distribution and unloading at target silos—all under system autonomous control. Feed is conveyed evenly and stably, with a pellet breakage rate far lower than that of auger conveying. The system collects silo level and equipment operation data in real time, presenting visualized data at a glance, which facilitates refined cost accounting for livestock farms, ensures uninterrupted and stable feed supply around the clock, and enhances the farm's continuous production capacity.

4. Strong Versatility, Adaptable to Diverse Farming Scenarios

The entire process is fully automated, from material discharging from the central bulk silo, long-distance conveying, to distribution and unloading at target silos—all under system autonomous control.

The system collects silo level and equipment operation data in real time, presenting visualized data at a glance, which facilitates refined cost accounting for livestock farms, ensures uninterrupted and stable feed supply around the clock, and enhances the farm's continuous production capacity.

Famou Machinery is a national high-tech enterprise in the livestock and poultry farming equipment sector, providing one-stop poultry farming equipment solutions. With professional technical strength and a comprehensive service system, it has grown into a leading enterprise in the EPC general contracting field for poultry farming equipment.

Against the backdrop of the livestock industry's trends toward intelligence, intensification, and sustainable safety, Famou's centralized overhead screw conveying system is no longer just a simple feed conveying device, but rather the fundamental infrastructure for modern ranch upgrades.

The four highlights—centralized feed storage, overhead enclosed conveying, intelligent control, and biosecurity protection—perfectly align with the industry's core demands for cost reduction, efficiency improvement, epidemic prevention, and intelligent operations. At present, the centralized overhead feed conveying model has become the industry mainstream and a standard solution for newly built medium-to-large-scale farms, and it will continue to drive industry development in the future.
