Troubleshooting

Is your feeder clogging up?  Please see the information we have below on why that is happening and how to correct it.

Clogging issues are commonly caused by the feed being used. This device uses a fixed, non-adjustable funnel, so its position cannot be changed or cause this issue. Below is some information on the recommended feed based on how we design our feeders that will prevent clogging:

Our Feeders are designed to use ¼” Whole Kernel Corn:

• Anything drastically bigger or smaller can potentially cause material run-out, the feeder to clog, or material to bridge inside the hopper.
• If a powder like rice bran is used in a humid environment without mixing with a larger granule size, it can cake significantly and bridge over the hopper exit.
• Some differing granule sizes can get jammed under the spin plate and cause the spin plate not to move.
• Uncleaned Corn with severe amounts of powder or dust can eventually lead to material buildup on surfaces and cause the feeder to jam.

Molded Corn in Metal Barrels:

• Corn will sit at the bottom of the metal barrel edges and can potentially mold.

Potential Causes of Moisture in Barrel/Hopper:

• Lid not pressed down firmly.
• Lid not twisted all the way down.
• Hopper top and hopper bottom not pressed together firmly.
