Built to Perform
RELIABLE FEED FLOW
A simple weighted ball valve securely closes the feeder and provides agitation as it is raised through the feed to ensure feed flow when emptying.

Individual Slide Shut-Off
When the feeder is not in use, the Econo-Drop feeder is equipped with a conveniently located slide shut-off.
