A versatile and robust mechanical feeder
A German company, FIAP offers a range of equipment for the aquaculture sector from sophisticated recirculation systems to hand-held nets.
FIAP’s Profi feed BeltFeeder (the green boxes) are hardy pieces of equipment that are suitable for many different fi sh farming operations.
An aquaculture farm whether on land or at sea is a rough environment and the equipment used needs to be tough and reliable if the farm is to operate successfully. FIAP’s Profi feed BeltFeeder is a mechanically driven automatic feeder that can be used in the most demanding environments to deliver feed or other inputs, such as medicines or additives, to the water. Th e material can take any form from dust to large pellets. Th e feeder is started manually and can be set to run for 4, 12, or 24 hours during which time it will steadily dispense the medium enabling extremely effi cient workfl ows.
A PRO model of the standard belt feeder offers further advantages
Many thousands of customers worldwide, from private users, to scientifi c institutes, to large fi sh farms have relied on FIAP Profi feed BeltFeeders for many years to achieve the best results. Th e popularity of the original model has led to the design of a professional version, the FIAP Profi feed BeltFeeder PRO, which, in addition to all the features of the standard model, off ers an easy-to-remove drive shaft for maintenance and cleaning purposes. Th is is made of seawater resistant aluminium and is therefore highly durable. Both models can be fi tted with 3 kg or 5 kg cases to accommodate the medium. Although very sturdy pieces of equipment, regular and long-term usage does lead to wear and tear over time. Th is is normal and is easily remedied as every single part of the two belt feeders can be quickly and easily replaced with a spare allowing them to continue to operate reliably and economically. Th ese feeders make an important contribution to the day-today operations on a fi sh farm and off er the best conditions for excellent growth rates.
