SmartIR Feed Sensor
It's a No Brainer.

New from Automated Production Systems ...the SmartIR utilizes Infrared Sensing Technology to detect the level of feed and control all functions of your feed delivery system. SmartIR requires no sensitivity adjustment and is not affected by changes in temperature, humidity, moisture content or feed type.
