What is a Poultry Feed Wheel?

What is a Poultry Feed Wheel?

2025-05-30

     The feed wheel (or feeding wheel) stands as an unsung engineering hero. Far from a simple rotating component, this unassuming device serves as the critical propulsion system delivering feed consistently to thousands of birds. Designed for seamless integration within automated layer cage systems, feed wheels ensure that precisely formulated nutrition reaches every chicken efficiently and without interruption. Let’s examine why this component is indispensable in modern poultry houses and how its design innovations solve persistent challenges in automated feeding systems.   

     Feed wheels are precision-engineered components typically installed within enclosed feed distribution lines running along poultry cages. As the central drive mechanism, they rotate to move feed from central bulk storage (silos) through troughs or pans accessible to birds. Unlike basic augers or chain-dragged systems, feed wheels employ positive displacement mechanics: their wheel-shaped design features precisely angled paddles, lobes, or grooves that actively "push" or "scoop" feed forward with minimal slippage or waste. This controlled propulsion prevents gaps in feed flow—a common issue in spiral augers during humid conditions—and ensures uniform distribution across long cage rows.
