Built to Perform
Reliable Feed Flow
A weighted ball valve securely closes off the feeder and provides agitation as it is raised through the feed, ensuring feed flow when emptying for a complete clean-out. All-plastic construction, injection-molded from UV stabilized materials, and stainless steel hardware.
INDIVIDUAL SLIDE SHUT-OFF
Easily-accessed slide shut-off cuts feed flow to the feeder.
Easy Adjustment
A half-turn of the adjustment knob takes the Ultra-Drop feeder from 1 lb. to 8 lbs. (.45 kg to 3.63 kg), low enough for multiple feedings in lactation and high enough for once-a-day feedings in gestation.
IR Control Unit
Uses infrared beams to detect feed levels and control the Flex-Flo™ feed delivery system. Can be used with the Model 220 Flex-Flo System.
