AeroSpreader™ S500 Feed Broadcaster

The AeroSpreader™ S500 is our smallest hopper sized stationary or mobile model dry pellet feed broadcaster designed to handle 2.0 to 11.0 mm extruded feed pellets using a 9.0 hp Honda® motor direct driving an Aerite™ AB150 model blower. The 500 kg. (1,100 lb.) capacity marine aluminum hopper is specifically sized to work with this larger Aerite™ AB150 model centrifugal blower to provide operators the benefits of maximum feed rates and broadcast distances from a feeder sized for operation in tight, restricted areas.

The AeroSpreader™ S500 is available as a compact mobile feed broadcaster with large pneumatic wheels for quick and easy farm site maneuvering. Alternatively as a stationary model this feeder is equally at home positioned on a pickup truck, trailer or marine vessel. Options include remote stainless steel cable controls for operator control of feed blower speed and feed delivery rates. This size feed broadcaster is the ideal operating platform from which to mount a range of feed broadcast hose configurations from the self-supporting 360-degree manually aimed Periscope Feed Head shown here to operator set, automatically oscillating Periscope Feed Head broadcast nozzle assemblies for optimum hands free feed broadcasting.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Lined Feed Broadcast Hose

An all stainless steel feed broadcast hose with a smooth inner liner maximizes feed broadcast hose operating life and feed pellet broadcast distances.

Field Servicable

Easy operator maintenance and repair when out on farm site.

Direct Drive Blower

A direct drive Aerite™ AB150 model blower requires no belt/pulley adjustments.

Smooth Finished Surfaces

All feeder edges and faces are hand smooth with no sharp edges to injure operators.

12.7 cm / 5 in. Blower Outlet

Large air volume air plenum for high volume feed delivery rates and broadcast coverage.

Optional Periscope Feed Head

Provides 360-degree feed outlet nozzle aiming so that it is easier to adjust the feeder’s feed outlet nozzle than reposition the vessel or feed truck. Feed four cages from one feeder.

High Blower Performance

Matched air inlet and impeller design reduces fuel-operating costs while delivering high scfm air delivery rates at lowest possible sound levels.
