No. The belt is driven by a wind-up clock, so there is no power supply and no batteries.

Open the cover, pull the belt back, lay the feed along the belt and close the cover; feed then drops out below over the 12 or 24 hour period.

Q: Which size and run time do I need?

Work out how much feed you want delivered and over what period: hoppers are 3 kg or 5 kg and belts run 12 or 24 hours, so a 5 kg unit set to 24 hours averages just over 200 g an hour.

Q: What pellet sizes will it handle?

A pellet size range is not published for the belt feeder — it is designed for spawn and fry feed, so confirm your pellet with Fresh By Design before ordering.

Q: Can it dispense anything other than feed?

Yes, it is also used for dosing buffering agents and pharmaceuticals.

Q: Will it stand up to being left outdoors?

Yes, the casing and cover are weather resistant and built for long service, though the belt should be kept clean of feed build-up and as dry as possible.

Q: What do I do if the feeder falls in the water?

Remove both covers straight away, lubricate the helper spring and dry the clock — a hairdryer works well. Do not lubricate the clock itself.

A clockwork belt feeder that spreads feed over the day without power or batteries, suited to fry and hatchery tanks.
