DESCRIPTION

Multi-purpose automatic feeder for distribution of most types of dry pet foods including flakes, pellets, granules, sunflower seeds, etc and three basic models are available: ASF-1 Aquarium, KSF-2 Koi-Pond and CSF-3 Cat/Small Animal. Appropriate model must be chosen for anticipated application. Moist pellet type cat food is acceptable. Feeder may also be suitable for other types of dry foods not listed here (please see "Specifications" on box).

APPLICATIONS

Hundreds have been used in lab experiments and animal research for distribution of dry pelletized material. They have been extensively used for training police dogs. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture currently uses our Super Feeders® for various applications. A wide variety of animals can be trained with our Super Feeders® using the task-and-reward approach. Each feeder's unique electronic system can be activated manually through a foot pad, or animal operated switch with very minor modifications, or as is via a computer with a power module. Lots of possibilities... Anybody there looking to design a web-to-home auto-feed system? For a good example, check the links below for a perfect source of a web system match for your Super Feeder®!
