About B&B equipment
B&B equipment GmbH was founded in 2002 in the district of Warendorf and develops automatic feeding systems for horses. The product range includes the powerfeeder concentrate feeder (Standard, 2, Struktur Senior, Struktur Mix), the time-controlled powerraufe hay rack in round, semi-round and corner versions, and the portionsraufe as a weatherproof hay cabinet for paddock and stable box. The feeders are made predominantly of stainless steel, specifically V2A stainless steel; the portionsraufe uses robust laminated plywood panels with a V2A stainless steel frame. In addition to its own systems, the company also develops and manufactures control technology for Weinsberger feeders and realizes custom-built solutions for individual stable situations. The systems are delivered ready-to-plug-in and assembled; upon request, the company's own customer service handles installation and commissioning. Areas of use include private stables, open stables (Offenstall), boarding and competition stables, equestrian facilities and stud farms; reference projects include, among others, Gestüt Welsum, the Walkemeyer riding facility and the Neben Luhmühlen riding facility. The company is based in Hilden in North Rhine-Westphalia.
