Page 6: Glossary Of Terms
Glossary of Terms Glossary of Terms Trough & Grill ® •The ULTRAFLO is a trough feeder that uses an open auger to carry feed around the loop. The Grill is required to provide a uniform eating environment and also helps to prevent the trough from spread- ing. -
Page 7: Introduction
Chore-Time has designed the ULTRAFLO Breeder Feeder to feed breeder hens faster and with less stress than conventional feeders. Feed is delivered to the hopper(s) by a Chore-Time FLEX-AUGER System. Feed is drawn out of the hoppers by ® the ULTRAFLO Breeder Feeder Auger. -
Page 8: Planning The System
Introduction Planning the System Carefully planning the system prior to beginning the installation will save time and effort. Adequate overhead structure must be provided to support the weight of the feeder, hoppers, power units, etc. Refer to the “Component Weight Chart” on page 80 for individual component weights. ULTRAFLO Broiler Breeder applications use a Nylon Elbow Loop Kits. - Page 9 Introduction ® Figure 2, shows a similar house except only ONE hopper is supplying each ULTRAFLO Breeder Feeder Loop. DO NOT INSTALL THIS SYSTEM LAYOUT IN HOUSES THAT EXCEED 250’ (76 M). Power Unit locations are different for single hopper systems. Notice the Power Units are located in the center of the house.

Page 77: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Problem # 1: One loop not running, motors overloaded. 1. Auger stops because the feed level is too high (motors overloading). A. Check to make sure that the auger running time is set correctly. The auger running time should be set for only 10 seconds more than the amount of time required for the auger to travel from one hopper to the next. - Page 78 Troubleshooting Problem # 3: Auger comes out of trough. 1. Damaged trough-repair or replace trough. A. Often closing the grill further and installing the grill will close trough which has been spread open. B. Close trough by installing trough retaining wire part no. 27909. 2.

Page 79: Maintenance
Maintenance Maintenance The ULTRAFLO Breeder Feeder requires minimum maintenance. However, a routine periodic inspection of the equipment will prevent unnecessary problems. Maintenance should be done by a qualified technician. ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER TO THE SYSTEM WHEN SERVICING OR MAINTAINING THE EQUIPMENT. -
Page 80: Miscellaneous Maintenance Notes
Check Screener output. Empty container if necessary. Grease the bearings on the bin boots and feed screener. Chore-Time recommends using an indus- trial or automotive grease. Close bin slide and allow fill system to empty. -

Questions and answers
what would make ultra flow breeder feeder start surging in only one curved end after 17 flocks we have two feeder lines 400 ft house hoppers in middle
@Cheryl Humphres our feeder is featured on page 12
The Chore-Time ULTRAFLO Breeder Feeder may surge at one curved end after 17 flocks due to buildup or wear in the auger system. Over time, feed residue, oil, and rust can accumulate, especially if the auger is not properly polished or maintained. This can affect feed flow and cause uneven distribution, leading to surging at specific points like curved ends. Regular cleaning and maintenance are necessary to prevent this issue.
