Solar Feeders

AUTOMATIC FEEDERS for controlled feeding of dry food

Solaris Standard with 100 l hopper and tube holder Solaris Intervall with 100 l hopper and tube holder Solaris Superspreader with 100 l hopper and tube holder Electric Superspreader with 100 l hopper and tube holder as well as electronic box

This "Solaris" Feeding System was designed and constructed to the latest specifications in the field of aquaculture economics by using the most modern components of present day technology.

The model "STANDARD" is delivered with a (600 mA) solar panel, which supplies a motor with the needed energy. This feeds without battery, without electronic, (some seconds, some seconds pause) from sunrise to sunset (also on rainy days). The daily feeding amount (1-5 mm Pellet) is adjustable from 0,1 kg up to 100 kg/day.

The model "INTERVAL" is also equipped with a feeding computer and accumulator (to balance weather depending days) which is mounted in a splash proof box (directly on the feeder) and can be adjusted exactly to feeding intervals, feed amount and time.

The model "SUPERSPREADER" is equipped additionally with an adjustable sector and round spreader (radius adjustable approx. 2-8 m and up to 20 m on request), and delivered with a bigger solar panel.

The model "UNIVERSAL" can additionally be used for granulated or meal feeds and pellets up to 12 mm.

The white or green feed hoppers are available in five sizes (for 15, 25, 45, 75 or 100 liter). As accessoire a tube or ring holder hopper support is available. Optionally we deliver a holder construction to fix the feeder on land or a floating construction to put it on the water surface.

All models are also available without solar panel, accumulator and timer, for the connection to a central power supply with transformer and distributor box (for up to 8 or 24 feeders).

For this central timer and distributor box we also provide special hatchery feeders:

Electric Hatchery feeder incl. 2,5 l hopperThe model "HATCHERY" is a disc-feeder with a 2,5 l volume feed zylinder and was developed for feeding the finest fry food up to 2 mm pellets in the hatchery. The feeder is suspended above the fry tanks, thus allow you to have sufficient space to work. Power supply is provided via a distributor box equipped with a (220V AC/12 V DC) transformer and a timer. The beginning (i.e. morning) and the end (i.e. evening) of the feeding period are set on the timer. The distributor box automatically issues a pulse which switches the motors of all (up to 24) connected feeders on simultaneously for a short time to move the conveyor disk(s). The interval between pulses is infinitely adjustable from 0,1 second to 10 hours. For individual feeder dosage, the slot between conveyor disk and the plexiglass zylinder can be adjusted. For this purpose, slacken the adjustment screw (turn counterclockwise), turn the conveyor disk cklockwise (the slot becomes smaller), or turn it counterclockwise (the slot becomes wider), and inaly re-tighten the adjustment screw.

Pendulum Feeders

PENDULUM FEEDERS for self service

 Pendulumfeeder with 25 l Hopper and Ring holder Pendulumspreader with 75 l Hopper and Tube holder

The model "PENDULUMFEEDER" is a self feeder for 1-5 mm pellets with a disc. When the fish touch the pendulum, the feed falls from the disc directly into the water. The slot between feeder and disc can be adjusted.

The model "PENDULUMSPREADER" is a self-feeder for 1-5 mm pellets with solar panel, which continously operates a spreader disc. When the fish touch the pendulum, a part of the feed falls directly into the water and a part of the food on the adjustable spreader disc which spreads it over a distance of up to 8 m (sector spreader).

The white or green feed hoppers are available in five sizes (for 15, 25, 45, 75 or 100 liter). As accessoire a tube or ring holder hopper support is available.

Pneumatic Feeders

PNEUMATIC FEEDERS with blower

Pneumatic feederThis easy to use and very robust pneumatic feeder, is specially recommended for feeding on ponds or raceways, where large feeding areas (up to 10 m2) and a wide feed distribution (up to 12 m) are necessary. The compact and lightweight container made from stainless steel is suitable for the rough conditions in the field outside. It has a capacity up to 120 kg of dry food, has 2 extendable pipe outlets with distributor plates and contains also the blower (220 V/50 Hz, max. 375 W) and a timer etc. The timer allow to set up to 4 feeding times per hour, and the feeding time can be adjusted undependen. The feed quantity and be additionally changed at the 2 pipe outlets by a screw. The whole feeder has a diameter of approx. 70-75 cm, a height of max. 1 m and an empgy weight of approx. 30 kg.

Clockwork Feeders

BELT FEEDERS with strong clockwork

Clockwork-BeltfeederSince more than 30 years this feeders are in use for save and exact feeding of fish fry and fingerlings. The clockwork runns over (12 or 24 hours) and is started if the belt is returned (in the morning) where the feed (up to 3-5 kg) is placed. The new clockwork with strong and corrosion free steel spring and splashproof acryl cover as well the plastic box lasts best the weather conditions and guarantees a long live of the feeder.

The feeders are available in 2 sizes and have dimensions (L x W x H) of 560 x 200-300 x 150 mm and can easily used at any place without electric energy, like nursing ponds.

Frozen Feeders

AUTOMATIC FEEDING DEVICE for frozen zooplankton

Planktonfeeder Zooplankton (Daphnia)

20 years world wide experience in the field of plankton research, catch and larval feeding are the basis of the new "Planktonfeeder", which was developed with the Institute of fish research. This device is designed for the professional application of frozen zoo-plankton as a larval diet in marine and fresh water hatcheries for the production of high quality fingerlings like: Coregonids, Chars, Grayling, Salmon, Sturgeon, Seabass, Seabream, Turbot and other species. The technique is based on a timed "washdown" of feed layers from large frozen plankton crumbs (up to 20 kg) and homogeneous distribution of the thawed plankton rations to the larval tanks by a specially developed self cleaning distributor. "Washdown" of the food layers and thawing can be performed either through spraying or by flooding or by a combination of both facilities, the remaining plankton is frozen immediately. The feed particle size can be perfectly adjusted by a special sieving unit. In order to avoid membrane damage and leaching effects of the thawed plankton organisms, the feed is distributed to the 16 larval tanks by gravity flow only in pipes. With 3 way adapters up to 32 tanks can be supplied.

If necessary we deliver also the frozen crustacean plankton or plankton nets.

Quality is our motto ... and your profit!
