‘Reflex’ automatic feeder

What it is

• —It operates in accordance with the fish’s natural reflexes – the fish pushes or nudges the suspended pendulum and receives a portion of feed. Advantages: feed is not wasted
• —after the stronger fish have eaten, the weaker ones approach the feeder and also receive a full meal. Furthermore, excess feed does not spill into the pond, does not rot and does not consume oxygen. The fish feed strictly as and when they need to. On average, a single feeder pays for itself through feed savings within one or two seasons (in pond farming)
• —in closed and flow-through systems, this happens even faster. Feeders can be manufactured in the following capacities: from 120 kg, 250 kg, 500 kg up to 1,500 kg, mounted on pontoons.
