Where IX-R38 sits in the range
IX-R38 is the sole catalogue model in this equipment group.
Shortlist this model when the planned duty is close to its listed values. If the application regularly approaches a limit, compare the adjacent models below and ask IXORTA to check working margin, cycle expectations and future capacity.
How the IX-R38 works
House climate, lighting, feed and water are adjusted by bird age. The system provides repeatable access across sections while manure removal and cleaning routines reduce accumulation between flock stages.
The safe sequence depends on the supplied guards, controls, utilities and attachments. Operators should follow the delivered manual, training and site risk assessment. For process examples and planning articles, continue to the IXORTA Poultry & Feed industry guides.
Manufacturing and acceptance checks
Review section geometry, wire finish, chick-safe openings, feed and nipple-line height adjustment, manure system, doors, drive units and a complete operational sequence.
A useful factory-acceptance record identifies the agreed configuration, principal components, inspection points, test material or load, observed results, open actions, documentation set, packing method and release approval. See IXORTA Poultry & Feed project scopes for the wider delivery context.
Applications and selection questions
Typical applications
- chick rearing
- pullet development
- integrated layer projects
- automated rearing houses
Confirm before selection
- placement count and age stages
- house dimensions
- access to feed and water
- manure route
- climate control
- cleaning and transfer plan
A catalogue capacity alone is not enough. IXORTA should receive the normal and peak operating range, site conditions, utilities, operator experience, destination and delivery constraints before recommending a configuration. Review the division buyer FAQs before sending the enquiry.
Practical working sequence
- Define the job. Record material, load, output, quality and environmental requirements.
- Inspect before start. Check guards, fluids, fasteners, tooling or attachments, connections and the work area.
- Set the equipment. Apply the model manual, verified program or calibrated field setting.
- Prove at low risk. Run a dry cycle, first part, clean-water test or short field pass as appropriate.
- Monitor production. Watch load, sound, temperature, quality, flow, alignment and safety devices.
- Close and record. Isolate safely, clean, inspect wear and log service actions.
Use the project enquiry form to identify any required training, commissioning or operator documentation.
Maintenance priorities
- adjust feed and drinker height by age
- inspect doors and wire surfaces
- flush water lines
- service manure drives and clean between flocks
Intervals depend on operating hours, duty, dust, heat, water quality and the surrounding environment. The delivered manual and component schedules control the final service plan. Send spare-parts and service questions through the IXORTA contact page.
