Feeding device

Abstract

This feeding device is used to transport solid aquatic feed pneumatically pumped from a feed storage tank installed on a feeding vessel directly into a fish pen without using a granulator or seawater mixer. It is connected to the outlet of the feed storage tank. Air pressure is released through an air vent pipe attached to the outer surface of the device through a lattice-shaped opening located at the upper right when viewed from the front. Seawater introduced through a seawater inlet for a feed collision prevention curtain flows down inside the device, spreading like a curtain, thereby reducing the feed transport speed and suppressing the impact of the feed colliding with the inner wall. Furthermore, the introduction of seawater through a seawater inlet for adjusting the feed transport speed located at the lower right when viewed from the front restores the transport speed, allowing the feed to be transported to the desired position within the fish pen.
