The global trend towards larger pig and poultry farms continues unabatedly. Big Dutchman has therefore introduced DR 6500: a high-capacity pipe conveying system for dry feed and roughage, developed specifically for larger farm complexes.
We are proud of our customers
From family farms to commercial farms, we supply them all – anywhere in the world. For thousands of farmers, Big Dutchman is THE supplier of pig equipment of any kind. And it makes no difference whether the farm is raising one thousand, ten thousand or twenty thousand animals.
To us it is quality that matters, not only quantity. We always have a workable solution for any possible problem. And many of these have been successfully installed already.
Here you will find some concrete examples:
EuroTier 2024: pipe conveyor for dry feed has a capacity of up to 6500 kg/h
Supplying large farms with feed or roughage – efficiently and hygienically
With a capacity of up to 6500 kg/h of dry feed, the system is perfect for transporting larger amounts of cereals or feed. Due to its increased pipe diameter, DR 6500 is also ideally suited for the transport of roughage, such as straw.
Another positive aspect: since feed trucks no longer drive onto the farm premises, the risk of infectious diseases entering the farm together with a feed delivery decreases significantly.
The buildings are supplied by one or more central main silos, and the feed is transported quickly and reliably to the smaller day silos. This means that not every house must be equipped with a large feed storage silo, i.e. pig and poultry farmers save costs. Additionally, fresh feed is always available.
