Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the typical lifespan of a poultry feeding gearbox?
With proper installation and routine checks, our gearboxes can last over 10 years, even in demanding environments. Regular lubrication and avoiding overloads extend longevity.
How do I choose the right gear ratio for my poultry farm?
The ideal gear ratio depends on your feeding system's speed requirements and load. For slower, high-torque applications, a higher ratio (e.g., 60:1) is best. Consult our technical team for personalized recommendations.
Can the gearbox be used in outdoor or exposed conditions?
Yes, our gearboxes feature sealed housing and corrosion-resistant materials, making them suitable for outdoor use. However, we recommend partial shelter to maximize lifespan.
What maintenance is required for these gearboxes?
Minimal maintenance is needed. Check lubrication every 6 months and inspect for wear annually. No daily upkeep is necessary under normal conditions.
Are spare parts readily available?
Yes, we stock a full range of spare parts, including gears, shafts, and seals, ensuring quick replacements and minimal downtime for your operations.
Does the gearbox come with a warranty?
All our poultry feeding gearboxes include a 2-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, with options for extended coverage.
How energy-efficient are these gearboxes?
They are designed for high efficiency, reducing power consumption by up to 20% compared to standard models, which lowers electricity costs on farms.
Can I install the gearbox myself, or do I need professional help?
Installation is straightforward with provided manuals, but we recommend professional assistance for alignment and calibration to ensure optimal performance and avoid voiding the warranty.
