Feed transport system
Our dry feeding system for pig farms is designed to ensure precise and efficient feeding:
- PowerLine feed chain – The feed is efficiently distributed along the feed line by a high-speed motor-driven feed chain, such as the robust PowerLine.
- Feed transport from the silo – Feed is transported from the storage silo to the intake station.
Feed line with flex auger – The feed is then transported further along the feed line using a flex auger.
CHAIN PROGRAM
POWERLINE® and MASTER CHAIN® for dry feeding systems
| 38 mm | 400 kg/hour |
| 50 mm | 700 kg/hour |
| 60 mm | 1.000 kg/hour |
| 76 mm | 2.000 kg/hour |
| 100 mm | 6.000 kg/hour* |
* We recommend that the system runs for a maximum of 2 hours at a time and no more than 8 hours per day. This means that the maximum capacity for a 100 mm system is 48,000 kg per day.
”MAXI DRIVE” drive unit
Easy to maintain, built for long-term performance and fast service access
ACO Funki’s drive unit, for transportation of pellets and flour feed, is developed for high operational reliability and long service life in modern pig production. Built with a strong stainless steel housing and a maintenance-free gearbox with lifetime oil, the system ensures stable feed transport – even under challenging conditions.
Thanks to its user-friendly design, the unit is also easy to inspect, clean, and service. A large inspection window and a simple opening mechanism provide quick access to internal parts, minimising downtime and simplifying daily operation.
The drive unit is equipped with a double guide rail system for extra stability, as well as a built-in chain break sensor that enhances safety. The self-emptying bottom improves hygiene and prevents feed residues from accumulating.
Key benefits:
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel cabinet
- Double guide rail for smooth chain movement
- Heavy-duty gearbox – filled with lifetime oil
- Easy access for cleaning and maintenance
- Large inspection window
- Built-in chain break contact for safe operation
- CE-certified
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation
- Sloped bottom for self-emptying and improved hygiene
Corners
Optimized for extra long durability
- There is no moisture ingress or feed spillage. The deep-drawn corner wheel housings and sealing strip ensure tight and strong corners.
- The corner wheel is made of cast iron with ball bearings, making it strong and durable.
- The risk of chain breakage is minimal due to the extra-wide contact surface.
- There is minimal risk of downtime — the spokes in the corner wheel are designed to provide the least possible resistance.

Corner for 76 mm system
Plastic corner for 60 mm system
320 meters of chain with a maximum of 12 corners. For each corner subtracted, an additional 10 meters of chain can be added. Likewise, 10 meters of chain is deducted for each additional corner.
Note: There can be a maximum of 24 corners on a single drive unit.
Flex auger
For all types of dry feed
Flex Auger is a transport system for delivering feed from a silo to a barn and for feed transportation inside the barn. The system is strong and reliable due to the stainless steel material and special construction.
- CAPACITY
With Funki Flex Auger you can transport from 970 kg (Ø75) and up to 1850 kg (Ø90) feed per hour. - VARIOUS SOLUTIONS
You can choose between single and double. Both options are available with either 75 mm or 90 mm. - OUTCOME
The standard funnel has two outcomes, but the special solutions can have up to four outcomes. - BIOSECURITY
Flex Auger helps to keep trucks away from the houses, thus improving biosecurity on your farm.
Reception unit
Stainless steel
The reception unit is the heart of the feeding system and is crucial for operational reliability and the longevity of the feed chain or wire. The reception unit controls how evenly and in what quantity the feed is dosed into the feed line. ACO FUNKI’s feeding systems can also be supplied with a flex auger for filling.
