1. Delivery Case Study: Empowering Paraguay’s Leading Poultry Producer
Client Overview & Challenges
PECHUGON operates an extensive network of breeding facilities, hatcheries, and processing plants across Paraguay. To maintain strict biosecurity standards and keep feed production synchronized with farm supply demands, the client required a bulk feed transport solution capable of:
- Moving maximum payload volumes per trip over mixed paved and unpaved farm access roads.
- Providing fast, low-residue mechanical unloading to eliminate cross-contamination between feed formulations.
- Withstanding high ambient humidity and harsh agricultural operations without structural degradation.
Custom Solution by CLW Group
CLW Group’s engineering team customized a 60 CBM multi-compartment bulk feed semi-trailer equipped with an advanced hydraulic auger/screw discharge system.
- Multi-Compartment Design: Divided into segregated internal chambers, allowing PECHUGON to transport starter, grower, and finisher feed formulations in a single run.
- Corrosion-Resistant Structural Build: High-strength steel construction featuring anti-corrosive internal coatings for maximum hygiene and biosecurity compliance.
- High-Capacity Mechanical Unloading: Integrated high-reach discharge screw auger with multi-lever hydraulic control, enabling safe, direct elevation into farm bulk feed silos without external power sources.

3. Buyer Guide: Key Selection Factors for Bulk Feed Trailers
When purchasing a bulk feed trailer for commercial poultry or livestock operations, evaluate the following essential metrics:
Discharge System Choice (Hydraulic vs. Electric vs. Pneumatic):
- Hydraulic Auger System: Best for off-grid farms; powered directly by tractor PTO or onboard auxiliary engine. Highly reliable for dense feed pellets.
- Pneumatic System: Ideal for delicate feed types requiring gentle pneumatic blower discharge, though slower than mechanical augers.
- Volume & Compartment Configuration: Match compartment sizes to your daily batch feeding routes to avoid partial loads and reduce biosecurity exposure.
- Terrain & Chassis Durability: For rural farm access, select reinforced multi-leaf mechanical suspensions, heavy-duty 13T/16T axles, and high ground clearance.
- Biosecurity & Cleaning Design: Ensure internal tank surfaces feature smooth, continuous welds and steep slope angles to guarantee low residual feed buildup (< 0.2%).
4. Maintenance Guide
To ensure smooth operational uptime and extend service life, follow this maintenance schedule:
Daily Inspection (Pre-Operation):
- Check hydraulic fluid levels and inspect all hydraulic hoses/fitting lines for leaks.
- Inspect the auger drive gearbox and top loader hatches for tight weather seals.
- Check air brake lines, tire pressure, and wheel nut torque.
Weekly Maintenance:
- Grease all mechanical rotation points, auger bearings, and landing gear grease nipples.
- Clean internal compartments between different feed types or during sanitation breaks to prevent mold buildup.
Monthly / 10,000 km Service:
- Check drive belt tension (if equipped with auxiliary power unit) and inspect hydraulic motor coupling points.
- Inspect leaf spring U-bolts, axle alignment, and brake lining wear.
- Drain water condensate from air brake reservoirs.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What discharge methods are available for CLW Group bulk feed trailers?
A: We offer hydraulic screw auger systems (PTO/hydraulic driven), electric motor auger systems, and pneumatic blower unloading systems based on your farm’s infrastructure.
Q2: How high can the discharge auger reach?
A: Our standard discharge auger reaches up to 8.5 meters, which easily connects to elevated poultry and swine feed silos. Custom heights up to 10+ meters are available upon request.
Q3: How do you prevent cross-contamination between different feed types?
A: The tank is divided into completely segregated internal compartments with individual bottom gates. Combined with our ultra-low residue auger housing (< 0.2%), cross-contamination is effectively eliminated.
Q4: Can this trailer handle different types of feed (pellets, mash, grains)?
A: Yes, the mechanical auger system is engineered to handle poultry pellets, mash, crushed corn, soy meal, and bulk livestock grains without clogging or crushing feed particles.
Q5: Can the trailer be operated without a tractor PTO?
A: Yes, CLW Group can install an onboard diesel engine or electro-hydraulic power pack directly on the trailer chassis to operate the discharge augers independently.
Q6: What axle and suspension options are offered for rough rural roads?
A: We equip trailers with heavy-duty 13-ton or 16-ton axles (FUWA, BPW, or equivalent) paired with multi-leaf spring mechanical suspension or air suspension with axle-lift capabilities.
Q7: How long does it take to unload a full 40-ton feed trailer?
A: With a discharge rate of 600–750 kg/min, a full 40-ton payload can be completely unloaded into silos in approximately 50 to 60 minutes.
Q8: What anti-corrosion protection is applied to the tank?
A: All steel tanks undergo surface shot-blasting, anti-corrosive primer coating, and food-safe/agricultural-grade topcoats. Full food-grade SS304 stainless steel construction is also available.
Q9: What shipping methods are used for exporting semi-trailers to South America?
A: Trailers are shipped via Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessels, bulk cargo ships, or flat-rack containers, coated with protective marine wax to prevent salt-water corrosion during ocean transit.
Q10: How are spare parts and technical support handled internationally?
A: We supply wearing parts (hydraulic seals, auger flighting, bearings) alongside vehicle shipments. Technical support, hydraulic schematics, and operating manuals are provided directly by our export team.
