ALL-OUT®
Feed Management Systems
Chore-Time has been providing feed bins to the poultry industry since 1957 and led the way in
updating its bin design to include features that provided solutions to common industry problems.
Chore-Time’s Feed Bin today continues to feature the strength, quality, design and warranty backing
that result in a bin you can count on for years of reliable service.
 Chore-Time’s Feed Bins are manufactured to our
exacting quality standards in our own factory.
 Body sheets are formed with the standard 2.66-inch
corrugation from long-lasting, galvanized steel in
gauges ranging from 8 to 20.
 Bin lids, collars, hopper sheets and roof panels
receive the same careful attention as body sheets.
 Hoppers are available in 60- and 67-degree angles
to match user requirements based on the feed type
to be stored. Roofs feature a 40-degree angle for
maximum filling and to make the fill hole more
visible.
 Bin legs are fabricated from heavy, galvanized steel
to make a column-like structure formed with six
separate bends or “breaks” for added strength.
 Sturdy ladder system is attached to both the bin roof
and side wall. Each ladder rung includes a raised,
nonskid top surface as well as an opening on the
underside to eliminate moisture accumulation
within the rung.
 Bins are assembled using high-strength grade 8.2 bin
seal bolts with special JS-500™ weather-resistant
coating. Optional polypropylene-encapsulated head
bolts provide enhanced corrosion resistance.
 All parts are manufactured to engineering design
specifications and quality checked to ensure hasslefree assembly and use. JS-500 is not owned or licensed by
CTB, Inc. and is the sole property of its respective owner.

Features and Options
for ALL-OUT® Bin Performance
STANDARD with any FLEX-AUGER®
Model or 4-inch (102-mm) solid-core
auger – Chore-Time's Red
Translucent, Polycarbonate Boot
Transition offers high strength and
impact resistance. Available in
straight-out and 30-degree
configurations, the transition
retrofits to most existing feed bins
with 16-inch (406-mm) diameter
hopper openings. Optional clear
model also available.
STANDARD – Our SPRING-LOCK®
Feed Bin Lid and Opener (patented)
aids in biosecurity by permitting bins
to be opened from a remote
location. Bins are easily opened with
one hand, yet feature a positive,
spring-aided closing action. When
open, the lid slides down and out of
the way of the feed truck's auger.
OPTIONAL – Convenient Handrails
(patented) are available for our
sturdy ladder system.
OPTIONAL – Ladder Security Door
helps restrict unauthorized access to
the feed bin's ladder.
OPTIONAL – Automatic Boot Slide
Actuator System helps producers
coordinate the use of feed stored in
pairs of feed bins so birds don't miss
a feeding. A manually operated
version is also available.
jfmckenna.com
STANDARD – Chore-Time's
HYDROSHIELD® Weather Guard
directs moisture to drip off the bin's
sidewall and helps keep water off
the bin's hopper and boot.
OPTIONAL – By removing a few
bolts, our ACCESS PLUS® Door Panel
lifts out for easier access to the
inside of the bin for cleaning chores
between flocks.
OPTIONAL – Chore-Time’s innovative
SHAKERPLATE® Material Flow
Control is suspended inside the feed
bin’s hopper. The SHAKER-PLATE
Unit vibrates to create mass flow for
the stored feed. The economical-tooperate unit automatically activates
whenever the unloading auger is
running.

Feed Weighing Systems
Our CHORE-TRONICS® Feed Inventory System
provides an economical means for managing
and monitoring feed stored in feed bins on the
farm. Producers easily check feed bin weights
by using a read-out screen. Getting precise
weights aids in better managing feed
inventories and helps to prevent costly out-offeed events. Designed to work as a stand-alone
system, the feed inventory system also can be
connected with Chore-Time’s popular CCENTRAL™ software to provide remote location
and multiple house monitoring.
Load Cell Indicator Control is
simple to operate for monitoring
feed bin weights.
Easy-to-read four-line viewing
screen always remains lit.
Load Cells
handle up to 10,000 pounds
(4,500 kg) per feed bin leg.
Chore-Time’s Mechanical WEIGH-MATIC® System uses a reliable beam
scale attached to a weigh bin to meter out the amount of feed you select.
Feed moves from the larger storage bin through a feed screener atop the
smaller bin for weighing. The screener is designed to screen foreign
objects out of the feed.
Two mechanical scale models are available: a 5,000-pound (2,268-kg) scale
and an 8,000-pound (3,628-kg) scale.
Chore-Time’s Digital WEIGHMATIC® System keeps an inventory of the
amount of feed in storage at all times without the use of a secondary
weigh bin. The system includes temperaturecompensated load cells and
has two Digital scale Indicator options.
