AeroSpreader™ S2500
Feed Broadcaster




The AeroSpreader™ S2500 fish Feed Broadcaster provides for safe and easy placement on decks, pens, or trailers with its low center of gravity and unique design. It can be loaded using feed bags or more economical bulk bags. The optional Low Angle Automated Oscillator™ provides maximum pen coverage. This marine grade aluminium feed broadcaster performs in harsh environments and will last for years. All AeroSpreader™ feeders provide improved feed conversion ratios, maximum production, and lower life cycle costs.

Feed conversion ratios are improved with virtually no feed breakage with the IAS proprietary eductor design. Independent testing has confirmed 0.05% breakage. IAS uses our own design of high output venturi type eductors to draw pellets gently into the airflow that delivers them to the pen. The final stage of pellet delivery utilizing our unique 13cm (5-inch diameter) smooth lined stainless steel delivery system further reduces the chance of feed breakage during delivery.

Feeding production is maximised by the reduction of feeding equipment downtime when using IAS AeroSpreaders™. The dynamically balanced impellor eliminates blower vibration and is made of cast aluminium-magnesium alloy requiring no maintenance that will provide years of trouble free operation. Manufactured as a direct blower unit, reliability is further improved by the 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 the resulting service requirements.

Lower life cycle costs are realized through long lasting component parts, economical operation and initial purchase price. The hopper is manufactured from marine grade aluminium and will last seven years or longer with periodic care and cleaning. Parts that routinely wear and require adjustment and replacement such as drive belts or gears that can wear have been eliminated from the design. The IAS engineered blower air inlet maximises blower performance with minimum horsepower to reduce fuel consumption. An economical 8.2 Kw (eleven 11 HP) four-cycle Honda engine with low oil shut off ensures maximum service life. The Series 2500 features a specifically designed sub platform hopper for export markets to greatly reduce shipping costs.

A number of features are incorporated in this design to improve worker safety. Sound reduction enclosures for motors and inline air mufflers reduce noise. The unique hopper design provides a low center of gravity for operating safety; tapered sides maximize shoulder and access room for workers during operations. A bulk bag loading support bar is built in as standard equipment to increase operator safety when loading.
