Abstract: A device includes a compartment for separating the solids and liquids. The compartment includes a base that is concavely curved according to a cylindrical portion having a transverse axis and is formed of a sieve, an idler roller mounted transversely on an arm, a drive which actuates the arm, and resilient means for adjusting the pressure exerted by the rollers. Both the contact interface between the sieve and the roller and the rotational interface between the roller and the arm are made of a non-metal material on at least one of the two contacting surfaces that form each of the interfaces, such that, there is no metal-on-metal contact between surfaces moving relative to one another at the interfaces.

Abstract: A kit for articulated connection between dividing panels having a pair of male pieces with a coupling protrusion; and a pair of female pieces with a coupling hole, the protrusions engage the holes when relative vertical movement between the pair of male and female pieces is produced when fixed to the panels. One of the first or second pair of pieces is configured with a depression such that the coupling protrusion or the coupling hole is arranged in the groove. The kit includes an auxiliary piece with a retaining pin actuatable with a lever and with an angled end, fixable to the lateral wing of one of the male pieces, the pin remaining parallel to the lateral wing and outside the panel. Regulated by the lever, the angled retaining end of the pin can be arranged in at least two positions: a release position and a locking position.

The feeder further includes a supporting body for supporting the distribution tray, an operating lever for moving the distribution tray and an articulated joint for joining the operating lever to the supporting body. The operating lever is arranged beneath the distribution tray, where the operating lever may be easily moved by an animal.

Abstract: “Regulating device for the lower discharge opening of a livestock feed trough”. Regulating device for the lower discharge opening of a livestock feed trough, which comprises an annular body with a similar cross-section to that of the mouth of the trough, which can be telescopically attached thereto; a vertical rod, which is solidly joined to said annular body; and a means of actuation that acts on the vertical rod, which can be moved vertically by said means of actuation, dragging with it the annular body and thus altering the effective length of the trough.

Abstract: A feed storage vessel for an animal feeder, constituted of an inverted truncated cone-shaped hopper whose smaller lower base features a generally cylindrically-shaped end elongation, and of two lateral supporting sections, apparently identical to each other, each of which features a lower portion for its mutual connection to the other supporting section, both lower portions being intended to encircle the lower end elongation of the hopper and/or to act as a support for the aforementioned hopper, likewise each lateral supporting section featuring an essentially flat, vertical portion, intended to adopt a position on the same plane as the analogous portion of the other supporting section, a plane which comprises the imaginary axis of the hopper.

Abstract: Slatted device for stable floors. The device is suitable for being installed as a separation between a waste pit and stable compartment of stabled animals. The device comprises a chassis and a movable trap door having a plurality of openings. The trap door rests on the chassis. A sliding hinge means is provided between the chassis and trap door and the trap door can be moved to a position in which the trap door extends below the chassis.

Abstract: A heated flooring module is provided for livestock stables, which includes an upper plaque, for walking on, which is essentially level; a hollowed central section, with no bottom surface, whose upper surface is equipped with at least one continuous runnel, adapted to contain a heat source that enters and exits the runnel through respective entry and exit tubular segments, with the abovementioned hollowed central section equipped with suspension elements for being suspended from resistant elements such as the bars of a horizontal grid; and an optional under-lid, all of the above arranged in such a way that, when the upper plaque is welded to the upper surface of the hollowed central section, the continuous runnel forms an enclosed circuit which contains the heat source inside, leaving the under-lid fitted into the underside of the hollowed central section.
