HSMANUAL-255 February 2026 4|Page Classic Pullet Pan Feeding System Planning Guidelines Birds Per Pan Recommendations An approximate number of birds per pan can be derived from this feed space required by the integrator. Based on a pan diameter of 13-inches, the calculation method is as follows: ( 13” X 3.1416 ) = Birds Per Pan Inches Of Feed Space Per Bird Choosing Feed Tube - Feeder Spacing The manufacturer recommendation for optimum feeder spacing is 17” between feeders, which can be obtained by using 4 feeders spacing on 10 ft. feed tubing. If adequate barn space is not available for this spacing, 4 feeders spacing on 9 ft. feed tubing is also acceptable for use. Part Number Description HSPFT175-410 Poultry Feed Tube - 10 ft, 4 feeder spacing (recommended) HSPFT175-810 Poultry Feed Tube - 10 ft, 4 feeder spacing w/ 4 Kwik Start holes (recommended) HSPFT175-409 Poultry Feed Tube - 9 ft, 4 feeder spacing (optional) HSPFT175-809 Poultry Feed Tube - 9 ft, 4 feeder spacing w/ 4 Kwik Start holes (optional) System Speed and Length When installing a feedline drive unit for use in pullets, the manufacturer recommends the use of a high-speed gearbox (range of 550 RPM – 700 RPM) for rapid feed distribution. When using a high-speed gearbox, it is essential to effectively manage auger tension for smooth and proper operation. Refer to Auger Installation and Stretch on page 8 for instruction and guidelines. Part Number Description HS9022D10-P Drive Unit, 3/4 HP w/ 693 RPM Gearhead HSGR010 Gearhead, 693/573 RPM at 60/50 Hz w/ 5/8 Output Shaft (recommended) The maximum recommended length of pullet feedline using a high-speed gearbox is 300 feet from drive unit to anchor bearing. It is recommended to split the feedline at center house when the feedline length needs to extend beyond 300 feet. NOTICE: The above recommendation by the manufacturer should in no way suggest a guarantee of performance or a product warranty beyond the warranty stated within the Hog Slat Limited Warranty section of this manual.
