The VanderPas feeding system is available in two versions: 1-sided system with a maximum capacity of 650 dairy goats, and 2-sided system with a maximum capacity of 1300 dairy goats. Besides the capacity, the difference between these two is that one has only 1 entrance gate and the other has 2 entrance gates. With the 2-sided system, it is therefore possible to feed 2 separate groups in the feeding system. 

The basic version can provide three different types of feed. Expansion with a fourth type of feed is an option.

 The feeding system is controlled by means of Voermaat. The amount of concentrate per goat is weighed per visit, per type of feed! This is the most accurate method.

30 or 60 goats can eat simultaneously. Since the feeding system is in operation almost 24 hours a day, a capacity of 650 and 1300 dairy goats per feeding system respectively is achievable.

The feeding system is equipped with an alarm function. This may mean that if a fault occurs, for example, the power to the farm fails, the feeding system will send an SMS message to a mobile phone.

On every farm there are goats without ear tags or with defective ear tags. These goats will not receive any feed in the feeding system. One option is a scan option, whereby these goats are scanned when they are in the feeding system. In this way, it is very easy for the farmer to trace these animals in the flock and to provide them with new ear tags.

The VanderPas feeding system is delivered, installed and made operational in one day!

The VanderPas feeding system is virtually maintenance free!

The VanderPas feeding system is delivered, installed and made operational in one day! The condition is that the buyer/farmer will have implemented a number of devices in the stable in advance. This is done in consultation with Geitenbelang. You should then think of the following:

• Create a concrete platform (14000 mm x 3000 mm/13000 mm x 2000 mm), plus an embankment on each side on the entrance side and a step on the exit side
• Install data cable
• Install air hose
• Install junction box for power supply
• Install PVC feed pipe (internal diameter 40 mm) straight through concrete platform, for earth stake
• Prepare mortar for conveying the concentrate to the feeding system

The VanderPas feeding system is virtually maintenance free! The traction surfaces are made of high-quality steel. The entire feeding system is galvanised. The food bowls rest on wear-resistant plastic strips. Rotating part bearings are maintenance-free. In practice, you will occasionally have to clear the stand of manure and straw, so that goats do not lean over when they are eating.

Energy consumption is very low (0.7 kW/h). Software support is done remotely through an Internet connection. All this makes for a very reliable system.
