AP Chain Disk Feeding System

Flexible, High-Capacity Feed Delivery for Commercial Swine Operations

The AP Chain Disk Feeding System is a durable, high-capacity feed conveying solution designed for commercial hog facilities. Manufactured by AP (Automated Production Systems), Chain Disk transports feed over long distances, through multiple turns and to numerous feeding locations while minimizing feed damage during delivery.

From breeding and farrowing facilities to nursery and finishing barns, reliable feed distribution is essential for maintaining consistent feeding routines and efficient daily operations.

The AP Chain Disk Feeding System combines a hardened steel chain, low-friction nylon disks, heavy-duty drive units and flexible routing components to provide dependable feed delivery throughout the barn.

Its enclosed conveying design allows feed to travel through horizontal and vertical corners, making it suitable for complex building layouts and facilities with multiple feeding locations.

Available with two controller options, the system can support automated feeding schedules in breeding and farrowing facilities or continuous feeding applications in nursery and finishing operations.

For hog producers throughout Southwestern and Central Ontario, County Line Equipment offers AP Chain Disk feeding solutions for new barn construction, feeding system upgrades and commercial swine production facilities.

Durable Corner Housings for Flexible Routing

Barn layouts often require feed delivery lines to navigate around walls, equipment and separate production areas.

AP Chain Disk corner housings allow the conveying line to change direction.

Horizontal and vertical corner configurations provide installation flexibility.

The system’s tight-radius corner design allows a 180-degree turn within a 24-inch space.

A cast metal wheel guides the chain through the corner, while a sealed ball bearing supports rotation.

These components allow the Chain Disk system to accommodate more complex feed delivery routes.
