A dispenser for dispensing feed, which comprises a container which is configured to contain feed and is provided with an inlet opening for loading feed into the container and an outlet opening for dispensing feed contained in the container, wherein an auger is arranged at the outlet opening and is mechanically connected to a rotor which is arranged in the container and is configured to be mechanically connected to an actuator to rotate the auger around a rotation axis. The present description also concerns a feeder and a system which can comprise said dispenser.
A dispenser for dispensing feed, which comprises reversible coupling means, which are configured to removably apply the dispenser to a dispenser holder of a feeder for dispensing feed, and a container, which is configured to contain feed and is provided with an inlet opening for loading feed into the container and an outlet opening for dispensing feed contained in the container, wherein an auger is arranged at the outlet opening and is mechanically connected to an end of a rotor which is arranged in the container and is configured to be mechanically connected to an actuator fixed to the dispenser holder to rotate the auger around a rotation axis, wherein the rotor comprises a head configured to mechanically connect the rotor to the actuator, wherein the end of the rotor, which is opposite the end of the rotor connected to the auger, protrudes from the container and comprises said head.
A feeder for dispensing feed, which comprises at least one dispenser holder, which comprises reversible coupling means configured to cooperate with reversible coupling means of a dispenser for dispensing feed to mechanically couple the dispenser holder with the dispenser, as well as an actuator comprising a joint which can be rotated by the actuator and is configured to be mechanically connected to and rotate a head of a rotor of the dispenser when the dispenser is mechanically coupled with the dispenser holder, wherein the joint is arranged under the actuator, so that the dispenser is arranged under the dispenser holder when the dispenser is mechanically coupled with the dispenser holder.
