Desarrollo de un sistema de dispersión homogéneo de balanceado para camarón

Abstract

This research focuses on the design and development of the dosing mechanism for an automatic feeder for shrimp feed, specifically targeting the dispersion of the feed. An integrated process was carried out, ranging from 3D mechanical design to the manufacturing of parts using CNC machines and 3D printing technology.To validate the mechanism’s operation, a PCB electronic board was employed, complemented with a wireless communication system using XBee Slave and Master modules. Through this interface, tests were conducted to activate the dosing mechanism’s motors, controlled by a series of commands sent from a computer. This study represents a significant step towards optimizing automatic feeding systems for aquaculture, providing an efficient and precise solution for controlled dispensing of feed to captive shrimp. The results obtained demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed design, offering promising prospects for its implementation in commercial and research applications in the field of aquaculture.
