1. Introduction
Cumberland’s Hi-Lo Pan Feeder is a revolutionary two-stage feeder bringing together features and
advantages of other systems, and introducing original and effective solutions to some persistent problems
and concerns.
The Pan Feeder System is designed to convey granular or powdered poultry feed from external feed bins
into the poultry house. It utilizes a screw auger to supply feed to Pan Feeders. The auger and pans are
located in the building, and the birds feed directly from it.
Feed is delivered from the feed bin via a feed conveying system such as the Flex-Flo, which is designed
to run in conjunction with the Pan Feeder.
For clean out purposes, the Pan Feeder may be raised up to a high level using a winching system.
This allows clear access to the building.
The Hi-Lo Pan Feeder System is designed for simple installation, though it is recommended that a
specialist be consulted with for the electrical wiring installation.
Because the first 7-10 days of a broiler’s life arecritical, the Hi-Lo Pan Feeder rests on the house floor and
presents a lip height of 2.1" (5.334 cm) the average height of traditional “feeder lids”. Young chicks can
easily get in and out of the pan and are eating out of the pan from day one. And because the pan need
not be flooded, they get fresher feed. The Hi-Lo Pan Feeder provides an excellent start for young birds.
Asthe birds grow, andthefeed line is raised,theHi-LoPan Feeder expandsintothemore easily managed
3.5" (8.89 cm) deep pan.
For larger birds, the higher wall and feed saver lip (wider than the lip currently on the standard grilled
feeder) prevent waste from raking and eliminate bill-out. The additional height also compels the birds to
eat nearer the edge of the pan, assuring a more even “first in, first out” utilization of feed (which both saves
feed and maintains freshness).
Cumberland values customer feedback and suggestions to help determine what features and functions
most enhance the efficiency and profitability of operations. Many of Cumberland’s design and
manufacturing advantages, including the Hi-Lo Pan Feeder, have been direct responses to customer
comments and suggestions.

4. Calculating Weight
The winching system used to raise and lower the feed system in the poultry house imposes additional load
onthe building. It isessential to confirmthatthe building is abletocarry this extraload.Consulta structural
engineer to check the building strength. Details of the likely weight of the feed system are given in the
calculations below. However, if there is any uncertainty, contact your dealer or Cumberland for assistance
with calculating the weight.
To calculate the weight of the pan feeding system, you must identify the weights of the following
components: A) hopper, boot and the feed they will hold, B) weight of tubing, pans, auger and the feed
they contain per section of tube and C) weight of control pan and drive unit.
A. From the Capacities and Specifications Section on Pages 15 and 16, find the weight of the hopper
(H) being used, the boot (BT) being used and the capacity (HP) of the hopper being used. Add the
weights of these three (3) components together: A = H+BT+HP.
B. Find the pan weight (PW) and the pan capacity weight (PC) using the Capacities and Specifications
Section on Pages 15and 16. Add these two (2) weights together and multiply by the number of pans
per tube section (NP) to get the total pan weight (TPW) per tube section. TPW = (PW+PC)(NP).
Next find the weight of the tubing (T) and auger (AG) being used from the Capacities and
Specifications Section on Pages 15 and 16. Note the tube length (TL). Feed weight (FW) in the tube
are: 10' of tubing will hold 3 lbs. of feed, 9' tubing holds 2.7 lbs. and 12' tube holds 3.6 lbs. Figure the
total weight per length of tube from the formula: B = T+(AG x TL)+FW+TPW.
C. Find the weight of the control pan (CPW) and drive unit (DU) being used from the Capacities and
Specifications Section on Pages 15 and 16. Add these two (2) weights together: C = CP+DU.
Calculating Weight of Feedline at Each Suspension Point
After determining A, B and C, determine the quantity of each component to be suspended by any
suspension point.
Determine Weight of Entire System
System weight (SW) is determined by adding the number of tubes in use (NT), number of drive units in
use (ND) and finding the total weight of A, B and C: SW = A+(B x NT)+(C x ND).
NOTE: Weight of feed calculated at 40 lbs. per cubic foot. If feed to be used is of different density, the
weight of the system must be adjusted appropriately.
