Bulk Feed Loader

The Bulk Feeder Loader is a versatile, hydraulic or electric operated feed loading system designed to lift and off-load bulk feed bags up over a low profile collection hopper that concentrates product onto an adjustable high-speed conveyor. Ideally suited for moving product from a floating feed storage shed out to boat-mounted feeders.

Designed for single operator control, the Bulk Feed Loader requires command of three lever controls to lift and load one tonne (2,200 lb) bulk bags at a high transfer rate of twelve (12) tonnes per hour. Adjustments to feed conveyor height and operating speed ensure the Bulk Feed Loader is capable of loading any size feed storage hopper or vessel positioned AeroSpreader model feed broadcaster. No matter what the elevation or operating speed selected the feed conveyor operation is gentle on feed to ensure best-feed pellet integrity and minimum feed breakage when feed broadcasting. This careful attention to feed handling assists in maintaining best-feed conversion rates.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Harsh Environment Design

Marine aluminum, galvanized steel and stainless steel construction with all hydraulic hose valve fittings wrapped in anti-corrosion tape and hydraulic cylinder rods chrome-plated.

Best Feed Management

Conveyor fitted with a complete set of removable safety covers and a head box to smoothly guide the feed pellets into the receiving hopper.

Quick Connect fittings

Immediate site setup with hydraulic power pack hose connections.

Full Site Adjustment

Conveyor hydraulically lifts adjusted to any angle up to a maximum discharge head height of nine feet above ground level.

Operator Safe Design

20 foot hydraulic hoses and a stand alone and movable Hydraulic Control Pedestal mounted on non-slip rubber feet allows for safe line-of-site positioning.

Maximum Safety

Load feed hoppers and feed broadcasters without the use of a forklift with its limited reach over water.

Easily Adaptable Mechanical

In addition to hydraulic speed control of conveyor, simple sprocket change to meet feed delivery rate requirements.

Minimum Feed Handling

Retain best feed pellet integrity – ensuring all feed consumed by fish or shrimp.

Controlled Site Operation

Bulk bag hydraulic lift arm cylinders are metered to lift and drop at a measured rate controlling the movement for safety considerations.

Capital Expenditure Savings

Savings on expensive forklift purchase, fuel, training and maintenance costs.
