A corn carrier is a device used in agriculture to feed livestock. It is typically positioned outside a silo and made of rubber with or without dividers or paddles. The conveyor is used to move feed and grain from a silo into a central mixing bin. It is mandatory that the corn conveyor is made of solid material to prevent small corn kernels from leaking through openings in the conveyor.
A corn carrier is a device used in agricultural settings where corn is used to feed livestock. Typically used in conjunction with a feed bunker or through, the corn conveyor is commonly positioned on the outside of a silo or grain storage silo. Made of rubber with or without dividers or paddles, the corn conveyor is generally designed to operate in a flat, horizontal plane, although slight ups and downs may occasionally occur along the length of the conveyor. Conveyor differs from a corn elevator in that an elevator is designed to send corn vertically into a silo or silo.
The use of a corn carrier is common on most farms and can serve multiple roles. The most common role of the corn carrier is to feed livestock. The corn is delivered from a silo or grain silo and placed onto the conveyor, where it is sent to a doghouse or manger. The conveyor is operated above the feed bunk and the corn is directed to different areas of the bunk by individually opening doors, moving shovels or mechanically operated chutes. A smooth rubber belt used on the conveyor helps prevent injury to pets if they should lick or rub against the belt as it moves.
Occasionally, a corn conveyor is designed to function as a system of several short conveyors instead of one long conveyor. In this application, individual belts are driven independently of each other and feed can be restricted from certain areas by disabling an individual conveyor. Other uses for the conveyor are to move feed and grain from a silo into a central mixing bin. It is common on dairy farms to use different ingredients from different silos to mix a single batch of feed. With this type of system, multiple conveyor belts can be used to transport feed from multiple storage units to a single mixing bin and then to the feed bunk.
It is mandatory that the corn conveyor is made of solid material to prevent small corn kernels from leaking through openings in the conveyor. Rubber is the most common material used in conveyor belt manufacturing due to its flexibility, strength, and durability in harsh environments. Another feature of the rubber belt is its quiet running properties. The relatively quiet operation of the rubber corn conveyor allows you to feed the animals without alarming or frightening them.
