With over 30 years’ experience in the plastic moulding industry, JFC specialise in providing quality rotationally moulded plastic products. We offer a complete range of Mussel Floats, Navigation Buoys, Navigation Beacons, monitoring and control systems to suit all marine applications.
In 2005, JFC established a new marine division focusing on the development of a range of mussel floats that now deliver mussel farmers the world over many advantages. Since their launch to market, JFC Mussel Floats have helped mussel farmers to substantially increase yields and reduce crop losses. JFC Marine superior performance mussel floats are designed and manufactured for the most demanding conditions. Ideal for inshore and offshore locations, they are proven in the most exposed conditions of the Atlantic Ocean. The polyethylene used in the floats is fortified with UV stabilisers designed especially for marine applications (UV15 rating).
Patented Stability Fin
The JFC float has been specifically designed so that they can withstand the pressures of high waves and sit steadily in the water, even when loaded with a full crop of mussels. The design ensures that the floats have a low profile in the water, causing limited vertical motion, which reduces stress on the mussels.
Consequently, this “reduced stress” on the mussels means that they can concentrate on growing, as opposed to expending their energy on trying to remain attached to the rope during turbulent conditions.
In addition, the fin design ensures the mussel holding lines do not brush up and down the float, and so prevents the crop from falling back into the sea. The end result is that mussels grown using JFC mussel floats grow larger, have a higher meat quality, and are much less susceptible to losses. All of these factors culminate in significantly increased yields over a shorter time period for the mussel farmer and can significantly improve the profitability of mussel farming enterprises.
All of these factors culminate in significantly increased yields over a shorter time period for the mussel farmer. JFC mussel floats have the potential to substantially boost the profitability of the rope-mussels industry whilst simultaneously reducing the number of mussel floats required per site.
This will assist mussel farmers in successfully applying for licences to produce mussels as the visual impact of using JFC mussel floats on-site is minimised, addressing a key concern of some regulatory bodies.
