Automatic feeders are a tremendous asset to game and poultry keepers in many situations, and knowing that your birds are being fed even if you are not there to do it can lift a tremendous amount of responsibility in a busy schedule. This Accu Feed Automatic Feeder Kit can be used with any metal or plastic container to turn a simple feeder into a reliable dispenser.
The complete kit contains a timer, a motor, a spinner plate and batteries for the timer. It also comes with full instructions for setting the timer, which are also published in our Product Guide on Accu Feeders.
A template for the holes you will need to drill in your feeding drum is provided, as well as compatible nuts and bolts. The timer is a digital display timer clock that can be programmed to feed 1 or 2 times per 24 hours. The motor can also be controlled to run for between 5 and 60 seconds per feed.
The high speed plate scatters up to 2Kg of feed every ten seconds, and a burst can feed a maximum of one hundred pheasant poults, seventy five wild duck (like teal and wigeon), fifty mallard and around fifty hens. When raised to a height of three feet from the ground, (drum/hopper base), food will be scattered in a circle with a diameter of up to six metres.
The unit comes with an "AA cell" battery for the timer, but you will require another battery to power the motor. We recommend using 6v 4amp/hr Rechargeable Battery for powering the motor and 6v Charger with Spade Connectors for charging this battery. Alternatively, you can use a 6v torch battery.
We offer a one year guarantee with this product.
