Large 42 cm Poultry Feeder

Product Overview

The Large 42 cm poultry feeder is the biggest member of the covered barrel feeder family, matching a 42 cm pan base with a 35 cm tall translucent white barrel and a red-orange lid. A wire carry handle arches over the lid for lifting, and the divided pan ring around the base offers many eating slots for a large flock. The design pairs the feed-level visibility of a white barrel with the protected opening of a fitted lid, all scaled up for serious commercial use.

Each unit weighs 706 g, the heaviest covered feeder in this series, and is packed 100 pieces into 3 bags. The 21 cm top opening is wide enough for fast trolley feeding, while the 42 cm pan footprint spreads feeding pressure across more birds at every round.

Key Features and Benefits

• 42 cm large pan base - the widest feeding circle in the covered feeder family, reducing crowding on big layer and broiler farms.
• 35 cm translucent barrel - tall hopper capacity with a see-through wall that shows the feed level without opening the lid.
• Fitted lid and wire handle - the lid seals out dust and rain splashes, and the arched handle makes the heavy unit easy to lift for cleaning.
• Divided pan ring - shaped eating slots around the base guide birds to their own spot and limit tread-in waste.
• 706 g robust build - the heaviest covered feeder, built to carry a large hopper load without flexing over long seasons.
• 100-piece carton in 3 bags - export packing arranged as three bags per 100 pieces, convenient for warehouse counting and split shipments.

Materials and Quality

The Large feeder uses a translucent white plastic barrel scaled to the 42 cm base, with rigid coloured lid and pan ring formed as matched pieces. The wire handle is anchored across the lid so the 706 g body can be lifted comfortably even when filled. Because this is the biggest unit in the family, factory checks pay extra attention to base roundness, lid fit and outlet flow before the 100-piece, 3-bag packing is sealed. Export cartons are built to protect the wide pan rims during stacking.

How to Use and Maintain

Plan feeding rows around the 42 cm footprint, leaving enough room for staff to walk between units. Open the lid, fill through the 21 cm opening with a scoop or feeding trolley, then close the lid to protect the ration. Watch the translucent wall to time refills. At cleaning, lift by the handle, empty the barrel, remove the lid and wash all parts; pay attention to the divided pan slots where crumbs and oil build up. Air-dry before the next flock cycle.

On commercial layer farms the Large 42 cm feeder is often placed along the central feeding lane, where its wide pan lets a long row of adult birds eat at the same time without bunching up. The 35 cm translucent barrel means staff on trolley rounds can see level at a distance and decide which units need topping before they run dry, which turns a slow manual check into a quick visual pass. Because the lid stays closed between visits, rain splashes and open-side dust do not contaminate the ration, an advantage in naturally ventilated houses where covered feeding matters. The 706 g body is built to be lifted and tilted as a complete unit during turnaround cleaning, and the divided slots around the pan resist treading even when large birds press close. Project buyers also value the family sizing: ordering Large, Medium and Small together means one supplier, one packing convention and one container, which simplifies tender documentation and reduces freight paperwork for the whole poultry setup.

Applications

This Large 42 cm feeder suits commercial layer houses, large broiler grow-out farms and duck operations that want covered, level-visible feeding at industrial scale. It is also the unit chosen when farms standardise on the covered barrel family and simply pick the size class that matches their flock.

Project buyers and exporters often specify the Large model for cooperative farms and government poultry programmes, because a handful of big stations covers many birds and the lid design protects feed in open-sided houses. The family also offers Medium 35 cm and Small 33 cm versions for staged flock management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the Large compare with the Medium 35 cm model?

The Large uses a 42 cm pan, 35 cm height, 21 cm top and 706 g weight, while the Medium 35 cm model stands 31 cm tall on a 35 cm pan; choose Large for bigger adult flocks.

Q2: Can I see the feed level through the barrel?

Yes, the translucent white wall makes the feed level visible from a short distance, so refill timing is planned without lifting the lid.

Q3: Is the lid secure in windy open houses?

The fitted lid covers the opening to keep dust and splashes out; in exposed sites, place units against walls or under roofed feeding lines for extra stability.

Q4: How is the export carton arranged?

The Large feeder packs 100 pieces into 3 bags, and our sales team can combine Large, Medium and Small units in one container for a complete farm order.
