Jugs | Carousel Feeder
The Carousel Feeder is one product sold in eight versions, and the version you need is decided by the machine already in your shed. Jugs builds a separate Carousel Feeder for the BP1 group, for the SP3 and BP3 Baseball, for the SP3 and BP3 Softball, for the BP2 Baseball, for the mini3 Baseball, for the mini3 Softball, and a Combo Carousel Feeder for the combo machines. Pick the wrong one and you own a feeder that will not mount. The section below lists all eight in Jugs' own groupings so you can match your machine before you order.
What every version does is the same. A Lexan drum holds 36 baseballs or 18 softballs and releases a ball every 6 seconds, so the person in the cage is the only person at practice. The frame is heavy-duty steel, the legs carry multi-point adjustments for height and angle, and the feeder runs on 110-volt AC. Jugs does not publish a weight, a dimension or a per-version capacity for the Carousel Feeder, and this page does not invent any of them.
Fitment first
Of the five Jugs feeders, this is the one you can order incorrectly. Everything else about the Carousel Feeder is fixed; the version is not.
The published figures
Every line below appears on the manufacturer's own Carousel Feeder page.
Closer look
First, the model. Jugs prints it on the machine: BP1, BP2, SP3, BP3, mini3, MVP, PS50 or Changeup. Second, baseball or softball. Several option names carry a machine twice, once with a baseball build and once with a softball build, and the two are different feeders. Third, combo or not. If your machine throws both baseballs and softballs, the Combo Carousel Feeder is the version you want, with one exception Jugs states plainly: it does not fit the 2 Wheel Combo. Bring those three answers to the option list and only one line will match.
A full baseball drum is 36 balls, and at the published interval of one ball every 6 seconds that is 3 minutes 36 seconds of pitching before anyone touches the feeder again. A softball drum is 18 balls, which works out to 1 minute 48 seconds. Those run times are arithmetic on Jugs' two published figures, not a manufacturer specification. What they buy you is a round long enough to finish without a break, which is the whole reason a coach adds a feeder to a machine that is already working.
Jugs names the balls this drum takes by circumference. On the softball side, 11 in. or 12 in. circumference regulation weight JUGS Practice Softballs. On the baseball side, 9 in. circumference regulation JUGS Practice Baseballs. That is a different rule from the one on the two Lite-Flite feeders, which take Lite-Flite balls only and nothing else. If you are choosing between a Carousel Feeder and a Lite-Flite feeder, the ball your program already buys is usually the deciding fact. The 18-Baseball Lite-Flite Feeder page sets out the ball rules across all five feeders side by side.
Compare
Every Jugs feeder releases a ball every 6 seconds. What separates them is the machine they bolt to, the ball they take and how many they hold. The Carousel Feeder is the one that covers the full pitching machine lineup, in eight machine-specific versions.
