Control for pneumatic feeding
Feed by air
TEWE's pneumatic feeding system is a prime example of technical innovation and efficiency in animal feeding. What may appear simple at first glance – the feeding of conveyed goods via air with single-gram precision – is the result of complex control software developed by IT experts and mechanical engineers. This technology ensures that the feed is diverted at the right switch point and reaches up to 2,000 dispensing units in a predetermined, fully automated mix.
TEWE is a pioneer in pneumatic feeding technology. The tried-and-tested control software for liquid feeding was adapted to the needs of Airfeed systems and then further perfected. This opens up an almost endless selection of programs and feeding models for users.
In conclusion
The control of TEWE’s pneumatic feeding sets standards in modern agriculture. With innovative technology, extensive customisation options and user-friendly software, TEWE solutions offer the perfect combination of efficiency, precision and flexibility. Through continuous further development and the consideration of the latest scientific findings, TEWE always remains at the forefront of technical advancements.
Benefits
- Energy efficiency: TEWE’s pneumatic feeding systems are designed to minimise energy consumption and thus reduce operating costs.
- Dynamically adjustable replacement components: The flexibility to dynamically adjust replacement components for each feed component makes feeding more adaptable and efficient.
- Versatile mixture counts: Up to 50 different feed components can be mixed dynamically, which enables a high degree of adaptability to different feeding requirements.
- Customisable premixing times: Pre-mixing times can be customised for each storage facility to ensure optimal results.
- Automatic overrun correction: The software automatically calculates the overrun correction for each component to ensure precise feed distribution.
- Various calculation bases: The feed components can be calculated in dry matter (DM), kilograms (KG) or megajoules (MJ).
- Automatic portioning: Large mixing quantities are automatically divided into smaller portions for easier processing and increased efficiency.
- Component tank weighing: The precise weighing of component tanks ensures precise mixtures.
- Parallel processes: Up to eight different processes can be handled at once. This boosts the efficiency of feeding.
- Fine dosing and cycle intervals: Minute quantities can be precisely dosed and the dosing intervals can be precisely controlled.
- Versatile feed curves: There are 10 feed curves each for fattening pigs and sows, with up to 24 support values available for optimal adjustment of the feed quantity to the animals’ weight.
- Flexible feeding options: The control enables feeding via automatic mash feeders, volumetric feeders, trough distributors and more, with options for cross-trough, longitudinal-trough or single-trough feeding.
- Random feeding and feeding order: Feeding can take place randomly or in a predetermined order to prevent unrest in the barn.
- Automatic feed quantity correction: The software adjusts the feed quantity curves automatically and linearly, e.g. when settling in new animals.
- On-demand feeding and consumption data management: Consumption data can be filtered and analysed in line with various criteria.
- Comprehensive feed analysis: The software offers detailed feed analysis and enables the calculation of costs and income.
- Wide range of booking options: Transactions such as transfers, losses, sales and special postings can be easily managed.
