The Typhoon feed cannon range has been designed to satisfy the need for simple reliable machines to deliver fish feed from a workboat to cages ranging in size up to 28m across. Typhoon feed cannons are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations to cater for the majority of farm requirements. Standardisation of design means that all feeders in the Typhoon range use the same engine, transmission and blower combination. Models with metered feed delivery use the same rotary feed valve and motor assembly. Where possible, the materials used to build Typhoon feed cannons are corrosion resistant, either aluminium alloy or stainless steel.

At the start of the range is a basic open skid framed feed cannon, with a choice of 200 kg up to 500 kg hopper sizes. It has a direct engine driven blower and venturi feed delivery, relying on a simple bag count to determine the volume of feed delivered to each cage.

Next in the range is a 500 kg capacity feeder with hydraulically driven metered feed delivery, digital counter and either a hydraulic powered or engine driven blower. The machine is built on an aluminium chassis with a removable aluminium hopper assembly enclosing the working parts.

At the high-end of the range is a 1000 kg machine with similar features to its smaller relative above.

Powering the Typhoon feed cannon is a well-proven single cylinder Lombardini diesel engine, available with either recoil or electric start and driving the strongly built air blower. Of proprietary manufacture, the blower can be trusted to give years of reliable service if regularly lubricated. On models with metered feed delivery, the engine also drives a hydraulic pump to power the rotary valve, operated by an on/off valve.

Metered feed delivery is measured by counting the revs of the rotary valve spindle via a simple electrical sensor. The count is displayed on an LED enclosed in a waterproof box at the front of the machine. By weighing a given volume of feed, a grammes per rev figure can be established against the known volume per rev. of the rotary valve, giving an acceptable level of feed delivery accuracy.

Scanbio Scotland, supported by our overseas distributors, has established an excellent reputation for supplying trusty and durable aquacultural equipment over many years. The Typhoon feed cannon carries forward our reputation and will help you to feed your fish reliably and accurately with the minimum of fuss.
