Need help moving dry feed around your dairy barn? Daltec specialises in developing and manufacturing feeding systems. We supply individual components as well as customised turnkey systems with specially programmed controls. Our systems feed pigs and fish around the world — and they can feed your cattle too, accurately, quietly and with minimal energy consumption.
Tailored solutions come as standard With our feeding systems, you decide which tasks you want to handle. Whether you need on-demand feed delivery — with the system monitoring demand and supplying a fresh portion whenever needed, while the milking robot or concentrate feeder controls the actual feeding — or want to convey several feed ingredients through the same line and combine them differently at each feeding point, you have complete flexibility. The systems and controls are already available and can be configured to suit your requirements. Our systems can supply feeding equipment from other manufacturers, including concentrate feeders in milking robots or elsewhere in the barn. The feeders’ own control systems determine how much feed is dispensed.
The benefits of a Daltec system • Highly flexible feed line routing and system design • Virtually unlimited scope for feed line length and the number of feeding points • Tight corners and complex routes are no problem • Excellent feed hygiene with minimal crumble and dust generation • All feeding points can be supplied from one central silo installation • Different feed types can be delivered to selected feeding points through the same line • On-demand feed delivery • Energy-efficient operation • Simple and reliable • Minimal maintenance requirements • Long service life

Simple solutions are simply better
Daltec dry feed systems with friction drive — for conveying dry feed and supplying milking robots, concentrate feeders and other feeding equipment on dairy farms Daltec feeding systems with friction drive can handle very long feed lines without damaging the pellets. Corner wheels allow the disced cable or chain to follow changes in direction with ease. This is often a major advantage in modern dairy barns with different functional areas, particularly where buildings have been extended in stages over the years. Conventional flexible augers are a simple, effective solution for moving feed from A to B over short distances. However, where several feeders need to be supplied and are not arranged along a reasonably straight route, dry feed systems offer clear advantages. They handle feed gently and allow all feeding points to be supplied from one central silo installation. Many Daltec systems in dairy barns convey a single feed type to several feeders, both in milking robots and elsewhere in the barn. However, if you want a particularly palatable feed blend in the milking robots and one or more different blends in other sections of the barn, a single system can handle this too.

The principle is straightforward: when a particular feeder requests a refill, the system collects the required feed from the appropriate silo and delivers it to that feeder. This type of installation requires Daltec’s electrically operated Multimix feed valves at the outlets serving the individual feeders, together with a more advanced control system.
Milking robots, dry cows, heifers… One of our system configurations allows a single controller to operate up to three feed circuits. The primary and secondary circuits work together to shorten the overall distance the feed travels to the feeders. This significantly increases capacity and reduces energy consumption. For example, one feed line can supply the milking robots with one type of feed, while also transferring a second feed type to the dry cow circuit and a third to the heifer circuit.

A Daltec system consists of individual components configured to meet your specific requirements. Every component is manufactured to a high standard, with a focus on ease of operation, reliability, low energy consumption and long service life. Daltec friction drive At Daltec, we use friction drives — a flexible and reliable way of transmitting the driving force to cables or chains through their conveyor discs. The friction drive distributes the driving force across all discs in contact with the drive wheel. This reduces wear, ensures virtually silent operation and simplifies maintenance
Daltec cable Using Daltec cable and discs in feed lines provides exceptionally gentle transport of pelleted feed, significantly reducing crumble and dust generation. This improves feed hygiene and reduces power consumption, as the conveyor discs do not have to force their way through deposits built up inside the tubes.
Daltec chain Some customers prefer chain-based feeding systems, while others favour cable-and-disc systems. We supply both, powered by our unique friction drive.
Daltec hoppers Daltec offers hoppers for all types of dry feed. Most installations in dairy barns use a single motor-driven hopper, but many other configurations are available.
Daltec feed valves More complex systems, such as those handling several feed types, can be equipped with Daltec feed valves. These open and close as required to deliver the feed to each individual feeding point.
Daltec feed drops User-friendly feed drops offered in several different designs. Daltec feed drops are available with slide gates in either stainless steel or plastic, as well as in versions that can be mounted entirely without the use of tools in the barn.
Simple level sensors or advanced Daltec software? We develop our own control systems, allowing us to tailor them to your needs — from a simple level sensor that requests more feed when a hopper is nearly empty to customised software. For example, if you want to deliver one feed type to a particular location and different feed ingredients to another feeding point, we can handle this through a single feed line.
