pigs: 5# / day x 100 = 500# / day
|
|
chickens: 2oz / day x 100 = 12.5 # / day
|
|
call it 1000# fodder / day
|
|
fodder grows in about 7 days
|
|
ergo, need to have capacity for 7000#
|
|
48 lb/bu -> 145 bu (311,811 in^3)
|
|
@ 1in depth = 2165 sqft (50 x 50 approx)
|
|
300 sqft/day (30x10)

## Thoughts
|
|
> If you have a continuous conveyor belt type system, you can automate everything using stations
|
|
> If you have fixed trays, complexity reduction is a toss-up on account of water, seeding, offloading as these now need to be indexed operations
|
|
> The centralized robot PnP option gives ultimate flexibility to do things out-of-order

## Decent combos
|
|
- similar to hydrogreen, but a series of hanging trays on a chain conveyor
|
|
- literally just hydrogreen with mechanical simplifications
|
|
- static racks for 1020 trays stacked 7-deep with drip pans underneath
|
|
- round trays on a spiral conveyor
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Drainage control
|
|
- Even watering
|
|
- Lighting
|
|
- Mold buildup and cleaning
|
|
- Contamination |
