1. Introduction
Introduction
Cycle Plus Pan Feeder improves uniformity and feed conversion while reducing stressful in-house
migration and mortality. By running on a continuous cycle with a constantly ‘‘charged’’ line, the
Cumberland Cycle Plus Pan Feeder system eliminates ‘‘skips’’ in feed delivery, distributes feed evenly
and simultaneously to all pans on the line and assures equal access to feed for all birds...while generating
less feed separation than the typical programmed feeding system.

3. Capacities and Specifications
Control Panel
Feed distribution is entirely controlled from the fully programmable (for up to 48 hours) control panel. The
control panel is capable of a maximum of 10 feedings per day at any time of the day and may be ran for
any period of time. A fill system delay allows the fill line from the feed tank to turn ON before the feed
line, making sure the hoppers are filled before the feed line starts moving to prevent ‘‘skips’’ in the charged
line and unequal distribution to the pans. Control Panel Input: 50/60 Hz, 220 VAC, 1 Phase
Tubing
Four (4) hole, 9' (2.74 m) tubing
Four (4) hole, 10' (3.05 m) tubing
Four (4) hole, 12' (3.66 m) tubing
Maximum tube line length is 468' (143 m)
Winching
Drops should be placed at 8' (2.4 m ) or a maximum of 10' (3.05 m) intervals. Winching Equipment sold
and supplied by Cumberland is recommended.
Feeders
Grilled or Grilless feeders can be used, but the type of feeder to use depends on the preference or needs
of the producer.

1/3 HP direct drive
64 RPM, 50 Hz or 60 Hz
Auger speed - 100 ft/min. (30-1/2" m/min.)

4. Planning Your System
Recommended Drive Unit Spacing
Careful planning, prior to beginning the installation, will save time and effort.
Houses up to 312' (95 m): Two (2) drive units are recommended. The drive units should be evenly
spaced opposite of each other at positions ‘‘A’’ and ‘‘C’’ as shown in Figure 4A.
Houses from 313' to 468' (95m to 142 m): Three(3) drive units are recommended. In order to determine
the proper drive unit spacing, add the total length of the system, including 8' (2.4 m) for each end, and
divide by 3. The result is the approximate number of feet between drive units, round up or down to the
nearest winching drop line. The drive units should be staggered and be placed at positions ‘‘A’’, ‘‘B’’, and
‘‘D’’ as shown in Figure 4B.
The following figures show houses with two Cycle Plus Pan Feeder loops. The first loop is to show
recommended drive unit spacing, and placement of the feed hopper, control pan, weigh tank, and service
section kit.
The second loop gives some dimensional specifications. Notice that the winching drop lines are spaced
8' (2.4 m) or 10' (3 m) apart through the system. Be sure to properly suspend the end sections of the loop.
NOTE: In pullet houses, the Cycle Plus Pan Feeder loop is 8' (2.4 m) wide.

5. Installation
Grilless Feeder Assembly
IMPORTANT: Do not use the grilless feeder without the locking clip. The clip is used to center the
feeder under the tube hole. If this clip is omitted, the feeder will slide off the hole and
cause feed spillage.
NOTE: Be sure the tabs are bent at 90° and are seated in the clip grooves completely.
Angle the grilless feeder insert into the top of the pan assembly. The insert reduces the feeder volume
when low feed rations are needed or every day feeding is required. (See Figure 5A.)
Figure 5A
Be careful when handling the tubes so as not to damage the tabs. Inspect each tube section. If the tabs
are damaged, use pliers to adjust accordingly. If it is necessary to rebend the tabs, be sure that no part of
the tab bend radius is within the diameter of the tube.
Install the locking clip on the tube. The tabs on the tube go through the hole in the locking clip.

Place the grill weldment over the drop tube.
IMPORTANT: The feeder assemblies must be placed onto the tubing before the tubing is
assembled together.
NOTE: When installing breeder houses, the male restriction bonnet must be placed onto the grill
weldment. This prevents males from eating out of the hen feeder system. Align the opening of the
bonnet with the opening of the grill and snap the bonnet over each grill wire.

Feeder Tube Installation
IMPORTANT: When installing a grilled feeder system, the pans must be installed on the tubing
prior to connecting the tubes together. Refer to on Page 13 -17 for grilled feeder
assembly instructions.
IMPORTANT: The unloader must be facing the same direction as the direction of auger flow. The orange
decals indicate the auger direction.
Installation should begin at the unloader in the center of the house. Check to see that structural
members are overhead to support winching the unloader and feed hopper. Lay out the tube sections in
the approximate location that they will be permanently installed. The belled end of the tubes will attach to
the unloader.
Using the 1-3/4" insulator package, fasten the tubes onto each side of the unloader. The tabs should be
pointing straight down, and the slots on the belled end will be horizontal. (See Figure 5J.)
Figure 5J
Working towards each end of the house, slide a 1-3/4" U-clamp onto the belled end of the tube before
inserting the straight end into it. Every fifth tube should receive a 1-3/4" insulator package for the shocker
wire. Make sure the tubes are inserted inside each other as far as possible and that the holes in the tubes
are in line and facing straight down before tightening. (See Figure 5K.)
Figure 5K
IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten the 1-3/4" U-clamps. Over tightening can deform the tubing.

Drive Unit Base Coupler Installation
After connecting all the tubes together, mark the locations where the drive units will be installed. Refer to
thesection‘‘Planning’’ Your System"on Page 11,todeterminethe drive unitlocations.Cut out a 7"section
of tubing at the drive unit locations. Insert the cut tubes into the base coupler and tighten the four bolts on
each end to secure the tubes. (See Figure 5M.)
Figure 5L
System Component Placement
The grilled center house control pan is to be placed next to the feed hopper under the Flex-Flo drop kit.
The reason for this is to be able to shut off the Flex-Flo drop kit while half-house brooding. The service
section should be placed under the Flex-Flo control unit on the opposite side of the fill system than the
control pan. (See Figure 5M.)
NOTE: When installing the Cycle Plus Pan System for breeder house applications, the center house
control pan is not to be used.

Grilled Centerhouse Control Unit Installation
The Cumberland grilled centerhouse control unit is used for partial house brooding.
IMPORTANT: Remove the unit from the box. Remove any shipping tape or packaging, i.e. on the paddle.
IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten the 1-3/4" U-Clamps. Over tightening can deform the tubing.
Cut out a 6" section of tubing at the proper location. Turn the unit so the paddle is facing the direction that
the feed is coming from. This will help to ensure that falling feed will not short-cycle the system.
Insert the cut ends of the tubes into the belled ends of tubing on the control unit. Make sure the tubes are
inside each other as far as possible and tighten the 1-3/4" U-Clamps. (See Figure 5N.)
Figure 5N
Adjustment
The grilled centerhouse control unit has switch adjustment screws which should be adjusted prior to bird
placement and then checked periodically.
A. Back the screws out counterclockwise until the switch actuates (clicks).
B. Turn the screw clockwise until the switch clicks again.
C. Turn the screws counterclockwise 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn more.
Some experimenting will need to be done to determine optimum performance. The objective is to achieve
maximum sensitivity without the vibrations from the feed line or falling feed causing quick or short-cycling.
