General Safety Statement

Electrical Safety

An adequate and safe power supply to the Chain Feeder System unit is essential for safety. A competent

and qualified electrician must undertake all electrical wiring. All wiring is to be installed according to the

National Standards and Regulations relevant to your Country and Region.

A main isolator should be installed with the Chain Feeder System and is essential for safety. This should

be installed as indicated in the enclosed installation instructions and in accordance with the relevant codes

and directives.

Structural Safety

Raising and lowering the Chain Feeder System in a poultry house imposes additional load on the building.

It is essential that the building is able to bear this additional load. Consult a structural engineer to verify

the building’s load capacity. Likely/estimated weights of the Chain Feeding System are provided in the

table in the Installation Manual.

Correct Use of the Chain Feeder System

The Chain Feeder System is designed solely for the purpose of conveying granular or powdered

agricultural feed products for poultry feeding. Use of the system in any other way is a misuse of the system

and may endanger safety and health.

Only genuine Cumberland parts are to be used in the installation and use of the Chain Feeder System.

Use of other non-genuine parts is a misuse of the system, and may lead to dangerous situations imperilling

the safety and health of you and others.

This machine is not designed for use in atmospheres where there is a risk of explosion. Such

environments may include enclosed areas of high dusts concentrations, gas vapors and fumes. Use of

the Chain Feeder System in such an environment is prohibited. If in doubt, contact Cumberland or

your dealer.

Safety Guards

The Chain Feeder System contains many moving and electrical parts, which will cause serious injury or

death if touched. Guards are placed on the machine for protection. Operating the machine at any time with

guards removed or installs is a serious misuse of the machine and endangers safety.

1. Safety

PNEG-240 Chain Feeding System 9

Safety in Maintenance

While the Chain Feeder System is designed to keep maintenance to a minimum, some repairs will be

necessary in the course of the life of the machine. Do not attempt any repairs on the machine unless you

are competent to do so. Remember that the Chain Feeder System may operate under automatic control

and start without warning. Never attempt any work on the Chain Feeder System without first isolating the

machine from the power and locking the isolator so that only you can turn the power back ON.

When working on or around the chain, be aware that it may be under tension and may move suddenly

when released. Approach the chain using a suitable tool rather than the hands until it is clear that the

tension is released and the chain is slack in all places.

Follow all guidelines given in the maintenance section of this manual.

Before restarting the Chain Feeder System, ensure that all electrical enclosures are locked closed and all

guards and other safety measures are correctly fitted. If in any doubt contact you dealer or Cumberland/

GSI for assistance.

Dust

Under normal working conditions, the Chain Feeder System should create little or no dust hazard.

However, some feed materials may create dust when being moved. This dust may be harmful to the health

if inhaled. Seek advice from the feed supplier, and use a suitable dust mask as needed.

Noise

Tests on this machine indicate noise levels at a position 1 meter from the drive unit and 1.6 meters above

the ground do not exceed 70 dBa, continuous “A” weighted sound pressure or 63 Pa, instantaneous “C”

weighted sound pressure.

Safety Signs and Warnings

The following pages show you exactly where the safety signs, warnings and other decals should be placed

on the Chain Feeder System. If a decal is missing, damaged or unreadable, please contact your dealer or

Cumberland, a member of GSI Group, for a free replacement.

3. Calculating Weight, Load and Length

PNEG-240 Chain Feeding System 15

Calculating the Weight of Suspended Trough at Each

Suspension Point

For calculating the weight of suspended trough identify the following factors: (1) Length of trough to be

suspended at a suspension point, (2) Number of corners to be suspended at a suspension point,

(3) Number of single drive units to be suspended at a suspension point.

Calculate the weight of the trough to be suspended by inserting the quantity of each component in the

formula below.

L (Length of trough (in feet) * 8.61) + C (Number of corners) * 22.759) + D (Number of single drive units)

* 141.28) = Weight of trough to be suspended (pounds) at a suspension point.

L (*8.61) + C (*22.759) + D (*141.38) = Weight of trough to be suspended (pounds) at each

suspension point.

3. Calculating Weight, Load and Length

16 PNEG-240 Chain Feeding System

Calculating the Load of the Entire System on the Structure

For calculating the load of the entire Chain Feeder System on the structure identify the following factors:

(1) The weight of suspended hoppers (use formula from Page 13 for calculations), (2) The length of trough

to be suspended, (3) The number of corners to be suspended, (4) The number of direct drive units to

be suspended.

Tabulate the weight of the Chain Feeding System to be suspended by inserting the quantity of each

component in the formula below.

HW = Weight of hopper to be suspended (calculate weight using previous formula)

N = Number of hoppers to be suspended

L = Length of trough (in feet)

C = Number of corners

D = Number of single drive units

(HW*N) + (L*8.61) + (C*22.759) + (D*141.38) = Weight of entire Chain Feeding System on the

Structure (pounds).

NOTE: If more than one type of hopper is used in a structure, each hopper weight must be calculated and

inserted into the formula for entire weight of the Chain Feeding System.

NOTE: Weight of feed calculated at 40 pounds per cubic foot. If feed to be used is a different density, the

weight of the system must be adjusted accordingly.

4. Introduction and Control Panel

Overview of the System

The Chain Feeder System is designed to convey granular or powdered poultry feed from external feed

bins into the poultry house. It utilizes a continuous chain conveyor running in the bottom of a trough. The

trough is laid in the building and birds can feed directly from it.

The system is generally controlled from one or more time switches, set by the user, to run the system for

a set period of time at regular intervals. Feed is delivered from the feed bin via a feed conveying system

such as the GSI Flex-Flo, which is designed to run in conjunction with the Chain Feeder.

For cleaning out, the Chain Feeder may be raised up to a high level using the GSI winching system

designed for this purpose. This allows clear access to the building.

The Chain Feeder System is designed for simple installation, though it is recommended that an electrician

installs the all electrical needs.

Cumberland’s Chain Feeder System represents the classic, proven technique for even, low-stress

distribution of feed providing equal access to feed to all birds and encouraging uniform development.

With its full range of grill patterns, trough designs and connection, suspension and hopper options; the

Cumberland Chain Feeder System can be specifically configured to meet the particular needs of the

individual grower and house layout in a system that incorporates all the proven operational advantages of

chain feeding.

Control Panel

The Cumberland Chain Feeder System is operated electronically. The standard speed system

(60' per minute) uses either a 24 hour pin clock or a 24 hour digital clock, both of which can be

pre-programmed to control all feeding and fill systems from the weigh bin to the house to the feeder itself.

The high speed system (up to 120' per minute) features a programmable variable speed control, a soft

start capability and a digital readout displaying current operating status. The high speed controller can be

fitted with an optional gradual slow down, but both systems can be run manually as well as off the clock.

5. Building Safety and House Layout

Building Safety

Installation of the winching system for raising and lowering the Chain Feeder System in the poultry house

will impose a load on the building. It is essential that you check that the building is able to carry the extra

load. Consult a structural engineer to check the building strength. Details of the likely weight of the

Chain Feeding System are given in the table on the below, however if you are uncertain, contact your

dealer or Cumberland/GSI with details of the system and we will be able to assist you in calculating

the weight.
