Stop feed loss before it stops profit

Published Modified

Our motorised spreader takes spreading of pellets to a new level through its ability for user-controlled spreading. You can achieve a lower feed factor and a more even size of the fish at the same time as the feeding becomes more sustainable through reduced energy consumption and less wear on the feed hoses.

Poor feed spreading is one of the biggest hidden costs in fish farming – uneven access to feed, stressed fish, injuries, high FCR, pellet breakage, dust and slower growth. It happens every single day, and most people accept it as “the way it has always been”. The question is whether they should.

The Fluctus Motorised Spreader (eSpreader™) takes feed spreading to a new level through user-controlled spreading. The technology makes feeding smarter and gives better access to feed throughout the cage – resulting in more even fish size, less competition for feed and reduced stress and injuries. The fish are better dispersed, and feed utilisation becomes more sustainable through lower energy consumption and less wear on the feed hoses.

  • Allows more intensive feeding at a lower blower speed

  • Especially effective at smolt release and low temperatures, when conditions are most demanding

The results show on the bottom line. Better fish welfare goes hand in hand with better economics – many customers find the investment pays for itself within a single feeding cycle, from smolt to harvest-ready fish.

Perhaps the question isn’t whether you can afford to invest – but how long you can afford not to?

Environmental impact and cost reduction:

  • Reduced energy consumption on blowers, 30-50 % reduction

  • Reduced wear of feed pipes. Estimated more than double the life time of the feed pipes

  • Less breakage and dust. Estimated 30 % reduction.

  • Lower F.C.R

User Experience ( Feedback from customers):

  • Lower FCR. Estimated 4-8 %

  • More even-sized fish due to better feed access.

  • Less damage to the fish due to the fish being more dispersed in the cage. Less fighting for the feed.

  • Less dust and breakage due to lower airspeed. Estimated 30 % reduction

  • Faster growth. Estimated 10-20 %

  • Reduced energy requirement per blower, about 40 %

  • Allows for more intensive feeding

  • Especially good growth at cold temperatures for small fish.
