Aqualine Cages
The company offers adaptable cages, such as the FrøyaRing® cages, customizable for different localities. All components meet safety standards and are certified according to NS9415.
Specifications and Features
The FrøyaRing® cages feature a sinker tube for enhanced safety and simplified net maintenance. The Midgard® power winches facilitate efficient operation without cranes, even in adverse weather, reducing point loading on nets and minimizing propeller damage risks.
Environmental Benefits
The open mesh design promotes water flow and reduces growth, while the cylindrical net volume decreases fish injuries and stress. The sinker tube aids in delousing with sealed tarpaulins in large net cages.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The system allows easy cleaning and maintenance, with nets drying without significant shape changes. Aqualine's experience with sinker tubes helps maintain net shape in storm-prone areas.
Midgard® System Development
Developed with industry leaders, the Midgard® System provides stable cage net volume under extreme conditions, allowing fish to swim deeper without increasing stocking density.
System Components
The integrated cage net and tensioning system includes a sinker ring for optimal tensioning and rearing capacity, with power winches enabling synchronized lifting and lowering.
Safety and Efficiency
The system enhances safety by reducing labor and accident risks, providing stable net volume, and withstanding extreme currents and exposed locations, also reducing operating costs.
Net Customization and Design
Aqualine offers hand-sewn, correctly dimensioned cage nets for optimal fit and reduced abrasion risk, designed for easy maintenance and reduced wear.
Material Options
Various netting materials are available, including nylon, polyester, and Aqualine ULTIMA-SG, each offering benefits like UV resistance and high breaking strength.
Service and Maintenance
Aqualine provides advanced service facilities for net washing, disinfection, repair, and impregnation, with environment-friendly options to reduce marine fouling.
Training Courses
Aqualine offers training courses for proper handling and maintenance of nets, crucial for their longevity, covering installation and maintenance aspects.
Cage Net Impregnation, Coating, and General Servicing
The Midgard® Predator Nets address predator issues in fish farming, integrating cage, predator, and fish nets with a sinker ring into one system, verified through simulations.
