How to Set Up a 30kg Drum Feeder

Collins Nets Drum Feeders won’t arrive assembled, so you’ll need to do this on arrival. Rest assured, we have created a handy short guide on how to set up a 30kg Drum Feeder, with an accompanying instructional video from Chris, our product expert at Collins Nets.

1. Assemble the 30KG Drum Feeder parts

After you have selected you chosen feeder attachment and purchased your drum feeder, it is time to assemble the parts in preparation of setting it up.

Before you start putting the feeder together, make sure you have all the necessary components in front of you.

Parts included:

• 1x Blue 30kg Drum
• 1x Feeder attachment
• 2x Tanalised legs
• 3x Short bolts
• 3x Long bolts
• 6x Washers
• 6x Nuts

2. Attach Feeder to Drum

The way you attach the feeder will depend upon which attachment you opted to buy.

Please note that we do not supply the fixings for the attachments, however the Spiral and Wright feeders can be dropped down from inside the drum, as shown in the photo below and the instructional video.

3. Attach the legs

Each leg will have a long and a short bolt that are used to attach the leg to the Drum Feeder.

Handy tip: The shorter bolt should be placed into the top hole, as shown in the photo below.

Repeat the process for the other two legs, then test out your 30kg Drum Feeder – it’s as easy as that!
