MOORING PARTS

Mooring word has a lot of meanings. For you, mooring means insurance a the warranty of the cage systems. It is the most variable systematic part in aquaculture equipment. The power of our system comes from its wide range product portfolio and the best quality products so can easily respond to the global demands wherever comes from. We provide the reports of the environmental and geographical conditions priory to prepare our initial report to put what and how kind of equipment is needed to be used during the installation. This is the engineering part. Our system serves you the most cost-effective and appropriate mooring system.

When coupling the fasteners, the strength of all adjacent products must be equivalent. Otherwise, the weakest priority is deformed and the mooring system is damaged.

FISH FARMING CAGE MOORING PARTS

Below are the basic elements of mooring systems. You can visit the pages for more information.

Anchors and concrete blocks are the equipment that fixes the cages to the bottom of the sea by the connection of the ropes.

Float mooring systems, suspended on the water and help to mark the production area on the water is a warning & carrier products.

Chains are located in two parts of the anchoring systems. The first part is the connection of the anchor to the battery. The latter is a type of chain used between the collectors and the connections of the buoys.

Ropes are parts that connect all the sinking and floating systems of the farm.

Mooring system uses anchors that connect anchors, vaults, ropes, chains, buoys and cages. These fasteners are collector chain locks, rings, thimbles and swivels.

ANCHORS AND CONCRETE BLOCKS

Anchors and concrete blocks are equipment fixed cages to bottom of the sea by connection of ropes. The choice of each anchor depends on parameters of air, current, wind and weight. We offer you the most suitable anchorage type and engineering during the clamping system. Anchors can be offered in different types as ship type and concrete blocks.

Anchors selected according to current strength, maximum wavelengths and underwater soil survey are used to secure the system.

BUOY

They are warning & carrier products that help to keep buoy mooring systems suspended on the water and mark the fish production area on the sea. Float dimensions vary according to weight of the equipment used in Mooring systems and size of the system.

Our buoys are manufactured in yellow according to standards of International Navigation Aids and Lighthouse Authorities Association (IALA). 355 mm, 400 mm, 450 mm, 500 mm in diameter to float single or double pipes are available in 8 different model buoy.

CHAINS

Chains are used in two main places in the cage fish farming system. The first place is where the anchor is connected with ropes. The second location is between collectors and connections of buoys.

Chains are shock absorbers for mooring systems. In order to minimize the risk, we determine optimum length and weight of chain to be used after calculations and integrate chain into the system to required dimensions.

Ropes are parts that connect all sinking and floating systems of the farm. Different types of ropes are selected according to requirements of environment, weather conditions and offshore type. Dyneema ropes, polyamide ropes (PA), polyester ropes (PES) and polypropylene ropes (PP) are types we recommend to our customers.
