AeroSpreader™ S125 Feed Broadcaster

This fish automatic feeder is ideally sized for broadcasting dry feed pellets for both smolt and grow out fish applications. The AeroSpreader™ S125 automatic feeder for fish or prawn is equally at home broadcasting your regular commercial fish food pellets and evenly distributing them. Having an automatic fishing farm capable of delivering medium, dry, or granular types of pellets is a flexible option for your feed broadcaster needs. Due to the small 125 kilo/275 lb hopper capacity, this AeroSpreader™ S125 model feeder is most often chosen for operations where small quantities of large sized feed pellets are required to be broadcast to greater distances than found with the AeroSpreader™ S80.

All AeroSpreader™ feeders provide improved feed conversion ratios by accurately and consistently placing dry feed pellets wherever required. Air blower feeders maximize labour efficiency by eliminating operator downtime due to repetitive arm and shoulder injuries while at the same time better applying operator skills on the monitoring of underwater feed cameras for best pellet placement, feed delivery rates, and fish behavior. All are important steps needed to reduce production costs and improve feed conversion rates.
The marine grade aluminum broadcaster is designed with a low hopper height ideally suited for the repetitive lifting and loading of small-bagged feeds. Both mobile and stationary models offer a low center of gravity making the AeroSpreader™ S125 ideal for moving around on narrow walkways, positioning in restricted areas, or mounting on vehicles or trailers. Options include remote cable controls for blower speed and feed rate control as well as a range of nozzle outlet configurations.

 

AeroSpreader™ S125 model feed broadcasters are used in automatic fish farming.  This feed broadcaster uses a reliable 6.5 hp Honda® motor that can handle commercial fish food pellets ranging from 2.0 mm to 9.0 mm size. Optionally, our extended fish feeder can be started using an electric start button rather than the traditional pull-start method. The fish auto feeder broadcasts feed pellets through 4 inch stainless steel flex hose that you can effortlessly control. By directing and controlling our automatic fish feeder for fish or prawn and broadcasting feed to selective regions promotes feed healthy growth and proper placement helps minimize feed competition ensuring a more predictable harvest.

Some optional accessories include a gull wing deflector, manual periscope feed head, extended cable controls for truck/ATV/boat mounted, and quick feed trailers.
