IAS Products Ltd. offers two types of fish feeders for the aquaculture industry: above surface AeroSpreader™ and subsurface HydroSpreader™. For specific information on HydroSpreader™ feed broadcasters please refer to this section.

All IAS AeroSpreader™ Feeding Systems provide these advantages over other systems:

Improved Feed Conversion Ratios (FCRs)

AeroSpreader™ feeders deliver more edible feed pellets to the pen resulting in improved feed conversion ratios. AeroSpreader™ design eliminates feed breakage, which means that virtually no feed is wasted as dust. This is accomplished by maintaining 100% feed integrity from the hopper into the broadcast airflow using the IAS proprietary eductor which draws feed directly into the feed broadcast airflow. No augers, rotary valves or other mechanical methods to force feed pellets into the blower's airflow are used.

Maximum Production

AeroSpreader™ feeder's simple robust design ensures reliability and minimises downtime due to equipment problems and the lost growth opportunities that result from a missed feeding schedule. A maximum number of five moving or adjustable parts reduce the possibility of equipment failure in AeroSpreader™ feeders.

Easy serviceability also holds AeroSpreader™ feeder downtime to a minimum. Often, remote farm operations are not equipped to make extensive repairs. All moving or adjustable parts in AeroSpreader™ feeders are modular in design requiring only the simplest of tools to unplug, unbolt and replace. In most cases no special training or education is required to insure maximum equipment operation and performance.

Reliable operation of gasoline powered AeroSpreaders™ is enhanced by the use of engines from the world leader in small engine technology, Honda.

Reduced Life Cycle Costs

AeroSpreader™ feeders will last longer and require less maintenance over their lifetime. Our products provide greater durability and longer life than products manufactured using painted mild steel hoppers and components. IAS uses stainless steel, marine grade aluminum and rotational-moulded polyethylene. The use of these materials in combination ensures maximum strength, product life and minimum corrosion.
