l R Pellet Sensor
Robust bronze IR Pellet Sensorwith adaptive feeding control …Correct feeding is key to achieving excellent fish farming
results. Connected to the AkvaMarina CCS Feed System,
this sensor is suitable for automatic feeding of fish to
satiation in smaller cages. Both the feed rate and feed
amount is adapted to fish appetite. This ensures that the
fish get the correct amount of feed, at the right rate and
at the right time. The sensor is installed in the bottom of
a pellet collector funnel, below the fish’ main eating area
in the cages and uses Infra-Red single beam optics to spot
uneaten pellets. The system is fully integrated with the
AkvaMarina CCS Feed System so that all settings are
carried out through the AkvaControl software.
The IR Pellet Sensor connects to the wireless sensor
network via the CSU (Cage Sensor Unit).

Adaptive feeding ramps the feeding ratesup and down to match fish appetite and
provides lower FCR and production costs.
The pellets are funnelled through theopening of the IR Pellet Sensor and are
detected and counted by the Infra-Redbeam!

The IR Pellet Sensor systemis suspended 5-8m belowthe sh’ eating area in thecage.
Even small pellets down to1-2mm will be detected.
The sensor includes hardwired cable with moisturebarrier tting (epoxy potted)and waterproof surface plug.

AKVA group is the world´s largest supplierof aquaculture technology, promoting wellknown brand names such as: Wavemaster,Polarcirkel, Fishtalk and Akvasmart.
The sensor is integrated with the CCS FeedSystem via the Wireless Sensor Network. Thisprovides full control of the feeding process.
Connected to environmental sensors, thesystem reduces feed waste as the feedingis also stopped at low appetite, low oxygenand/or strong currents.
