AP HYDROMAT/HYDROTUBE FEEDERS

With feed cost accounting for approximately sixty percent of the cost of swine production, it only makes sense to invest in the best feeders available. Hydromat and Hydrotube feeders from AP provide excellent feed efficiency and the added benefit of dramatic water savings to help lower the cost of effluent disposal.

HYDROMAT FEEDER Hydromat feeders are equipped with a durable plastic hopper which provides storage for up to 90 lbs. of feed and easy access for hand feeding of bagged starter feeds. An optional hopper cover insures feed freshness and aides in dust control.
Cups & Valves Hydromat and Hydrotube feeders feature premium quality AquaGlobe valves and smooth easy to clean water pans. Wean to finish models feature an easy to set drip feature (shown) which helps newly weaned pigs quickly locate water at the feeder.	Stainless steel agitator Both Hydromat and Hydrotube feeders are equipped with stainless steel agitator.that is easily moved by even newly weaned pigs. This spinner limits the need for feeder adjustment and keeps even high fat feed flowing through the feeder.	HYDROMAT ADJUSTER Hydromat feeders are equipped with a convenient indexed adjustment system that provides exact control of feed flow.	Feed Saver Hydromat & Hydrotube feeder troughs feature a feed saver lip to prevent feed from being raked out of the feeder.

AP Tube Feeders

AP's Hydrotube Feedersare equipped with 4" feed tubes to provide seventy percent more feed storage than competitor's 3" tubes. This additional capacity greatly decreases the number of feed system run cycles required to keep the feeders filled. The feed tubes are available in either white or clear PVC extruded in our factory from specially formulated resin with impact modifiers to prevent feed tube breakage. We have many models available.

HYDROTUBE ADJUSTER An easy to operate adjuster crank gives precise control of feed flow in increments of 1/32" up to 2" maximum. A convenient indicator gives the actual opening between the feeder pan and the tube outlet.	FEED HOPPER Optional 20 lb. feed hoppers increase storage capacity and allow for hand feeding of starter feeds in wean to finish applications.	FEED TUBE Hydrotube's 4" feed tubes provide 70% more feed holding capacity than competitor's 3" feed tubes. More holding capacity means fewer fill system run cycles. Optional clear tubing allows you to confirm at a glance that the feeding system is functioning correctly.	FEEDER GATES are constructed of 1/2" solid stainless steel rods inserted through and welded to heavy gauge stainless steel providing the strongest tube feeder gate in the industry. Water pipes are easily removed for service and are not used as a structural part of the gate frame.

Wean to finish models feature narrowed gate rod spacing, feed dams to prevent slurry build up in water cups and an adjustable drip nipple to help newly weaned pigs locate water.	Y-DROPS Hydrotube Y-drops are available for all three feeder models. These Y-drops prevent feed spills and provide a clean installation with a single feed line drop.
