Fish farming net cleaner Stingray E230

for aquaculture

The Stingray aquaculture net cleaner was developed by Lindgren-Pitman Inc for the aquaculture industry to clean fouled net pens. This novel and patented machine is manufactured to lower operation costs, reduce maintenance, lower CO2 emissions, improve fish welfare while avoiding net damage and increasing safety. Learning that offshore aquaculture net cleaning was one of the highest costs behind feed at and was a surprise and motivation for aquaculture net cleaning development at LP. The Beginning Research revealed that aquaculture net cleaning was normally done using high pressure water cleaners. Obviously cleaning aquaculture nets this way was inefficient with most of the power wasted in mechanical, viscous, and turbulent losses that calculate at over 80% losses. But if you don't mind the maintenance and fuel cost, and nothing else is available it's OK. Furthermore, it is not very good at taking off mussels, shells, and kelp necessary for good aquaculture net husbandry. Moving the aquaculture net cleaner around with thrusters was a first try we but found it to be inefficient. Tracks to move aquaculture net cleaners were not new but had a poor reputation and if adequate features were added to improve performance netting could be torn. And none of the current technology would clean the water line. Lindgren-Pitman has several engineers with the creativity and resources for R&D. Weights, dimensions, requirements, and features: 11 kW generator - 240 V AC 50/60 Hz input 30 psi internal static air pressure. Cleans 2300 - 4600 m2/hr (can vary with net conditions) 2 personnel operation including boat captain or skipper.
