Existing coral feeding devices cannot guarantee that cultured organisms in different locations receive sufficient feeding, resulting in uneven nutrition.
A coral feed dispensing device was designed, comprising a hopper, a feed box, and a drive mechanism. The feed is pushed and propelled in the feed box by a rotating pusher plate, and centrifugal force is used to spray the feed over a wider area. The dispensing range is further expanded by a universal tube and a trapezoidal nozzle. Precise feeding is achieved by combining a remote control valve and a motor.
This method enables uniform feeding of coral feed, ensuring that corals in different areas of the culture pond receive balanced nutrition, reducing feed waste, and improving the sustainability of the culture system.
