AeroSpreader™ S500

A medium capacity marine grade aquaculture feed broadcaster with a low center of gravity suitable for mounting on decks, pens or trailers.
All AeroSpreader™ Feed Broadcasters provide improved feed conversion ratios, maximum production, and lower life cycle costs.

Feed conversion ratios are improved by reducing feed pellet breakage to virtually zero with the IAS proprietary eductor design. We use our venturi type eductors to draw feed pellets smoothly into the airflow then out to the pen. The final stage of pellet delivery utilizing our lined stainless steel delivery system further reduces the chance of breakage during feed delivery.

Production is maximised by the reduction of downtime. The dynamically balanced cast aluminum-magnesium impellor eliminates blower vibration and will provide years of trouble free operation with no maintenance. Manufactured as a direct drive blower unit, reliability is further improved by a reduction in the number of moving parts. The Honda engine is prepared for the marine environment with a protective coating to reduce parts corrosion and resulting service requirements.

Lower life cycle costs are realized through long lasting component parts, economical operation and initial purchase price. Parts commonly found in feeders that routinely wear and require adjustment and replacement such as drive belts or gears have been eliminated from IAS feeders. The IAS engineered blower housing maximises blower performance with minimum horsepower. An economical four-cycle Honda engine equipped with a low oil shutoff prevents damage when the oil level is low, ensuring maximum service life.

Use of optional accessories for this feed broadcaster will further reduce labour requirements and improve feed broadcast control.
