Fish Transport Plugs

Gentle fish transfer

The fish are moved with the water flow through pipes without netting. Less stress can mean lower mortality.

Clean water in the pipe

The pipe can be flushed before the fish are moved, so they do not meet stagnant water with high nitrogen content.

Automatic operation

The plug is controlled from the control panel on the walkway. Many facilities still use plugs that must be operated by hand.

Safer for the operator

Nobody needs to operate the plug by hand at the tank.

• Pneumatic control. The plug opens and closes with compressed air and is controlled from the control panel on the walkway.
• Flushing of the system. The fish transport system can be flushed without fish entering the rest of the facility.
• Flushing of the pipe. The pipe is rinsed so there is no stagnant water when the fish are moved.
• Fish transport. The fish are moved with the water flow through pipes, both within the facility and out of the facility.
• Placement. The plug sits in the centre of the tank and takes out fish at the bottom.
• Flanged end. Quick to install and remove for inspection and maintenance.
