Cross conveyor ![]()
How does a cross conveyor system work?
The cross conveyor is a transport system that transports feed directly from the silo to the feed hoppers at the beginning of the feeding line
Feed transport starts automatically and is carried out by auger with a diameter fi 55mm, fi 75mm, fi 90mm or fi 125mm
If there is no feed in the last hopper, a capacitive sensor starts the conveyor. The auger takes the feed from the silo and distributes it until the last hopper in the building is fully filled. When the hoppers are full of feed, the sensor disconnects the power supply
General technical information
Cross conveyor fi 55
Powerunit: 0.55kW
Feed capacity/amount: 520kg/h / 0.70kg/m
Maximum feed length: with 3m inclination 60m, with one extension boot 120m
Cross conveyor fi 75

Maximum feed length: with 3m inclination 60m, with one extension boot 120m
The length, diameter and power supply of cross conveyor depend on amount of birds and on the building conditions

Cross conveyor fi 125
Power unit: 1.5kW/2.2kW
Feed capacity/amount: 4500kg/h / 4.8kg/m
Maximum feed length: with 3m inclination 28m, with one extension boot 56m
The length, diameter and power supply of cross conveyor depend on amount of birds and on the building conditions

Connection to the silo
Suitable for mounting on fibreglass and galvanised steel silos
- Universal collar (product code: 3011)
- Plastic upper boot for silo fi 440mm single (product code: 3012) or double (product code: 3013)
- Transfer plate with shutter (product code: 3014)
To install the auger
Under the plastic upper boot is mounted a metal boot
- with a shaft connected with the auger, which moves the feed through the feed tubes
- or metal boot without shaft
Boots are made of high quality galvanized or stainless steel, single or double intake, matching the cross conveyor diameter fi 55mm, fi 75mm, fi 90mm and fi 125mm
PVC pipes and elbows
The metal boots are connected to the PVC pipes and elbows inside which the auger rotates into the building. The pipes and elbows, made in Germany, are made of strong and durable PVC material, resistant to weather conditions, UV rays, extreme temperaturesand mechanical abrasion and are neutral and safe for moving feed
Each pipe and elbow is finished with a muff on one side. Thanks that the each one next elements fit solidly and is possible to create a structure that rises upwards and runs under the ceiling across the building
Tubes 3m long
Elbows 1.4m long and at an angle of 45 degrees
Available in diameter fi 55mm, fi 75mm, fi 90mm and fi 125mm
The auger
Gearmotor rotates a flexible helical inside the feeder, transporting feed from the silo to the chutes of the longitudinal feed system
The size of the auger fits to the cross conveyer:
FA 55 – auger fi 38mm
FA 75 – auger fi 60mm
FA 90 – auger fi 71mm
FA 125 – auger fi 95mm
Auger is made of high quality metal
Available in standard length 100m or cut to length for individual orders
Feed discharge
In the conveyor pipes are outlet drops with shut-offvalve that can open and close the feed flow along telescopic pipes 1m+1m or 1m+3 or along drop tube to the hoppers of feeding lines
The telescopic tubes and the flexible hose, which connects them with conveyor pipes, are transparent for better control of the correct feed flow
Available diameters of telescopic tubes:
70/75
75/80
80/85
82/85 - reinforced
85/90
Power unit
The power of power unit, which moves the auger, must be matched to cross conveyor diameter:
FA 55 - 0.55kW
FA 75 - 0.75kW
FA 90 - 1.1kW or 1.5kW
FA 125 - 1.5kW or 2.2kW
and connected with a gearreducer 1:3,94 or 1:2,95. The gear reducer is connected with the auger through the shaft of control unit
The motors of power unit are made of strong and durable components with high efficiency and low noise level
OUTLET 125
Outlet fi 125 discharge with a drain diameter of up to 100mm –non- blocking the bandwidth
Produt code: 3044-10
Also available for discharge:
Telescopic pipe 100x105
Flexiball pipe 1m, 105mm
Pipe clamp
Control unit
On one side the control unit is connected with power unit and it controls his work with mechanical flap sensor
On the other side it is connected to PVC pipes by a plastic or metal flange matching the diameter of the PVC pipes
At the bottom there is a plastic outlet fi 75 in yellow color or plastic outlet fi 80 transparent, which connects to the telescopic pipes through a flexible hose
The cover of control unit is made of stainless steel
Control
The cross conveyor motor is automatically switched on/off when the last hopper of the feeding line is filled or emptied, thanks to a sensor located there, which sends a pulse to the motor
In an emergency the motor is switched off by a mechanical flap sensor in the control unit, which cuts off the power supply to the motor
This solution effectively protects the feeding system from any breakdown and the transport and level of feed is under control
