Flexible Feeding

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Flexible Feeding is an innovative add-on to the CCS Akvasmart feeding system, allowing feed distribution from all silos to all cages without manual intervention. This system simplifies feed logistics and planning by eliminating the traditional restriction of connecting each silo to a specific feed line.

How It Works
The system uses buffer tanks for each feed line inside the barge, with a conveyor system to move feed from any silo to any buffer tank. Load cells and the AKVAconnect control system provide precise control over feed quantities in each buffer tank. The traditional feed system then transports the feed from buffer tanks to the cages.

System Overview
  • Drive Unit: Positioned above the tension unit, it prevents conveyed material from entering.
  • Brush Box: Handles excess material, with an inspection lid for easy cleaning.
  • Outlet Valves: Positioned between the outlet valves and drive unit, filling up to two buffer tanks.
  • Buffer Tanks: Designed per client specifications, placed between inlet valves and brush box.
  • Inspection Pipe: Allows easy viewing of fill rate, placed after inlet valves.
  • Sweeps: Minimize pellet damage during transfer.
  • Tension Unit: Positioned under the brush box, with manual tension adjustment.


Specifications
  • Wire: 5/8’’ SS, max length 80 m.
  • Diverter Outlet: 3-way selector, SS and Aluminum.
  • Pipe: 6’’ SS.
  • Drive Unit: 400 Vac, 3ph, 4 kW, SS enclosure.
  • Brush Box: Dual brushes in SS enclosure.
  • Load Cells: Digital SS sensors, capacity of 1 or 3 tons.
  • Control Cabinet: Capacity up to 9 tons, 400 Vac, 3ph.
  • Control Software: AKVAconnect version 2.16 or later.


Conclusion
Flexible Feeding, developed by AKVA group, can be installed in both new and existing feed barges, tailored to client specifications. It represents a significant advancement in aquaculture feeding systems, enhancing efficiency and flexibility.

Flexible Feeding-1

Flexible Feeding How it works We install one buffer tank for each feed line inside the barge. A conveyor system lets you move feed from any silo to any buffer tank. With the help of load cells and the AKVAconnect control system you will have full control of how much feed each buffer tank contains. Next, the traditional feed system will bring the feed from the buffer tanks to the cages Distribute feed from all silos to all cages - without manual handling. Flexible Feeding is the feeding concept of the future. Flexible Feeding is a new and smart add-on concept to the CCS Akvasmart feeding system that enables you to distribute feed from all silos to all cages on the facility. In a traditional feeding system, each silo is connected to one specific feed line. With Flexible Feeding you will no longer have this restriction. Thus, the feed logistics and planning becomes a whole lot easier. Combine various feed types, pellet sizes etc with just a few keystrokes!
