Cattle Headlock Feeder

Individual Feeding Positions: The headlock panel divides the feeding line into designated positions. This layout helps organize cattle along the bunk and allows farm staff to manage feeding groups according to the barn's operating routine.

Feeding Line Planning: Position count and panel length should be determined together with the available bunk space. For projects with multiple pens, consistent panel layouts can simplify installation planning and maintain a uniform feeding line.

Cattle Group Considerations: Feeding position dimensions should be selected with cattle size and the intended housing arrangement in mind. Honde can tailor the panel configuration to the dimensions provided for the project.

Standard Spacing: The published standard spacing is 714 mm from the center of one feeding position to the center of the next. This measurement is useful when estimating the distance between adjacent positions along a straight feeding line.

Center-to-Center Distance: For a row with n feeding positions, the distance from the first position center to the last position center is calculated as (n − 1) × 714 mm.

Panel Length Confirmation: These figures represent the distance between the first and last position centers, not the complete panel length. End frames, mounting points, and installation clearances must also be considered when confirming the final dimensions. 

Structural Components: The panel uses a 50 × 50 × 3 mm square-tube base, Φ42 × 2.5 mm round-tube uprights and pivot tubes, a 16 mm solid-round top control bar, and 4 mm steel locking plates. These component dimensions provide a clear basis for project specification and fabrication review.

Hot-Dip Galvanizing: The steel structure is hot-dip galvanized after fabrication, with a stated coating thickness of at least 42 μm. Applying the coating after fabrication helps cover welded areas as part of the finished steel structure.

Fabrication Requirements: Tube dimensions, panel spacing, and connection details should be confirmed against the approved project drawing. This helps align the manufactured panel with the feeding line and its installation conditions.

Honde can customize cattle headlock feeder panels according to project drawings, cattle dimensions, and barn layout requirements. 

Packaging Arrangement: Packaging is planned according to panel dimensions, order quantity, and transportation requirements. The packing method should be confirmed before production to accommodate the finished panels and loading arrangements.

Shipment Coordination: Panel quantities and package dimensions can be reviewed during order confirmation. For projects involving multiple pens or feeding lines, the shipment plan can be coordinated with the installation sequence.

Specification Verification: Key dimensions, including tube sizes and feeding position spacing, can be checked against the approved specifications before shipment.

Welding and Surface Inspection: Fabricated components and galvanized surfaces can be inspected for visible defects and conformity with the agreed requirements.

Order Consistency: Production specifications and confirmed drawings provide a reference for checking the panels supplied for the project.
