Unit 17 - Feeding devices and Methods

17.4.Electrically operated automatic feeders

17.4.6.Hydraulic-type automatic feeders

These feeders can be used on farms where electric energy supply is not available, but works using continuous water flow on a water wheel which powers the system to function. The feed discharging screw is driven by this water wheel and the rate of feed dispensing can be adjusted by changing the gear drive. This system can also be applied for distributing wet food like chopped trash fish, etc.
