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!
