The FNC8 is AKVA’s dedicated net cleaning ROV. The remotely operated net cleaning rig came about as the result of a strategic partnership between Norwegian aquaculture powerhouse AKVA and Sperre AS, a leading player in the ROV industry.
In the swim
The unique feature of the new cleaning rig is that it “swims” along the net line in the pen and cleans using high-pressure seawater. Nothing takes hold of the net that can damage and tear holes in it. This greatly reduces the risk of fish escape.
The Flying Net Cleaner is based on a patent pending principle that ensures that the rig is in balance regardless of whether it cleans horizontally, vertically or upside down. This makes it easier for the operator to select the cleaning direction that is most appropriate, regardless of which type of net one is dealing with.
High efficiency is the key
The speed of the cleaning rig is important for those performing the job. The FNC8Flying Net Cleaner can achieve a cleaning efficiency far greater than many of its competitors.
The Flying Net Cleaner is built using standard ROV components that are easy to clean and disinfect. The FNC8’s ease of use is also assisted by several built-in automated features, sensors that monitor cleaning and advanced camera systems. The FNC8 is also ready for the collection of dislodged organisms.
Customised high pressure generator
AKVA group supplies and offers service for high pressure generators customised for the new Flying Net Cleaner. The pumps supplied are from Kamat or Hammelmann. Both pumps are quality products that are specially adapted to the environment one encounters during pen cleaning.
