CVS offers cutting-edge vacuum and pressure solutions designed specifically for the safe and efficient transport of live fish. Whether at sea on wellboats or on land-based fish farms, our systems ensure gentle handling and reliable transfer between tanks, preserving fish quality and boosting operational productivity.
Vacuum and pressure pump systems for fish transport
Vacuum function – safe and stress-sree loading
Our water ring vacuum pumps create a strong and consistent vacuum that gently sucks live fish and water through hoses into intermediate stainless steel tanks. This method minimizes fish stress and reduces injuries, ensuring optimal fish welfare during transfer from offshore or land-based fish farms.
Pressure function – reliable and efficient transfer
Once the intermediate tank is filled, fish are transported under pressure from the tank to the main storage tanks aboard wellboats or further processing stations. The pressure system guarantees fast and smooth fish transfer, optimizing workflow and maintaining high throughput.
Innovative separation of vacuum and pressure functions – enhanced efficiency
To improve operational efficiency and system performance, CVS now offers a separated vacuum and pressure solution tailored for fish handling applications.
Liquid ring vacuum pump:
Proven for reliable vacuum generation, providing safe and gentle suction of live fish with minimal energy consumption.
SKL-E Pack overpressure system:
Specifically designed for the pressure stage, this energy-efficient compressor pack delivers stable and controllable overpressure. By separating vacuum and pressure generation, you reduce energy use and increase system reliability.
Optimized Process Flow:
Combining separate vacuum and pressure units automates and streamlines fish transport, reducing operational costs and increasing productivity.
Fish Quality Preservation:
Gentle vacuum loading combined with efficient pressurized unloading keeps fish healthy and undamaged, improving market value and customer satisfaction.
Compact and Flexible Design:
Our pump systems fit seamlessly into various environments, from wellboats to land-based aquaculture facilities, saving space and simplifying integration.
Custom Engineered Solutions:
Both vacuum and pressure units are designed, manufactured, and tested at our Rheinfelden site. Integrated development ensures perfect compatibility and high-quality standards from planning through commissioning.
