HFS – Hatchery Feeding System

Q: How do I choose the right HFS configuration?

Start from your daily feed demand, the smallest particle size you need to meter and the number of larval tanks or trays to be fed, and the system is scaled from there.

Q: What particle size will it handle?

Food particles from 100 µm up to 2.0 mm, covering the full dry microdiet range used in larval rearing.

Q: What is the smallest particle it will meter?

100 µm — fine enough for first-feeding microdiet crumble, which is where most general-purpose pellet feeders stop working.

Q: Is it a single feeder or a complete system?

It is a complete purpose-designed feeding system for a hatchery, not an individual feeder unit.

Q: Which larvae is it suitable for?

It is designed for any aquatic larvae, so it is not limited to one species group.

Q: Will it replace hand feeding of microdiet?

Yes — automating the frequent small feeds that larval rearing requires is exactly what the system is built to do.

Q: How do I get a price?

The HFS is quoted per installation. Contact Fresh By Design with your tank or tray count and feed size range for an official quote.
