Abstract

Development of an electrically controlled centrifugal lobster feeding system to optimize the dispersion of feed pellets. Its purpose is to improve and increase the efficiency of food distribution. Including increasing the efficiency of the lobster feeder to be easy to use. Convenient installation, suitable for lobster farmers. The researcher has designed and built an electric centrifugal lobster feeding system. To increase feed pellet dispersion efficiency, reduce costs and increase survival rate in lobster raising. The efficiency test of the electrically controlled centrifugal lobster feeding system The efficiency of food distribution in the ground and the shrimp pond area will be tested. and compared to determine the maximum efficiency of the lobster feeder. From the test, it was found that When the test was carried out by feeding 2 kg shrimp at a time with the voltage adjusted at 220 V, the lobster feeders had an average distribution of 7.69 min, an average distribution distance of 11.8 m when calculating the coefficient of variation (CV). The average of the five trials was 18.59% and the dispersion coefficient (UC) was 99.69%.
