reefboy Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 you can always insulate the line as well. I had a thought what if you just made a mix in a milk jug fairly concentrated and just added a dripline to it and just let it melt and drip at the same rate as its melting might take a little tweeking but be cheap and should last the whole day if not longer.And if you really want to get trick put jug in insulated container and it should go a few days.

That could work as well...but if I put ice under my stand, I am sure it would melt pretty quickly...but I think it could be done very easily...

Guest Mbeef61 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 these food are such high in protein that sitting out even an hour is going to start producing bacteria....must be refrigerated up until feeding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronjunior Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Here's what I planned on doing to get my kegarator line flowing into my bar from the garage and keep it cool. (other side of the wall)....might work for this too. Was going to insulate the tubing with beer coming out of the fridge through the center of a larger insulated tube like huge PVC or something, use a PC fan to help push the air from the fridge into the chamber to keep things cool. Insulate the pipes for obvious reasons. Like a refrigerator with an arm the keeps cool. Take it one step further, hook up another device like an IV pump that controls multiple drips and have it flush the line w/ ro/di after it pushes the feedings through. That way your questionable material won't stay in the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mbeef61 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 the goal was to not have frozen food. but refrigerated and thawed. in my house it would melt in 20 minutes tops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefboy Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 i highly doubt that id be willing to bet a gallon jug frozen solid would melt in twenty minutes and if you insulate said jug it last hours keeping all melted water cooled as it driped because line would be short but hey just my OP.
