The Scotland-based marine equipment and technology company cover a diverse range of turnkey solutions for the aquaculture sector extending to mooring systems, pens, barges and feed systems, to name a few.

Yet, their  SeaQurePen is making an especially big splash in the sector. Whilst the full SeaQure range extends to a variety of systems such as the SeaQureMoor, their SeaQurePen  is the specific solution that International Aquafeed magazine found especially intriguing…
 

SeaQurePen 500
Created with the goal of producing an evolutionary new pen system that is tough, reliable and efficient, the SeaQurePen 500 is a very impressive bit of kit. Gael Force Group explain how the SeaQurePen 500 was created with several locations and unique farm requirements in mind, ensuring the solution caters to fish farms in exposed and tough locations.

Using Gael Force’s own in-house expertise, the SeaQurePen 500 ensures lower farming costs, easy maintenance and efficient marine life protection. From just one look at the solution, it is clear that the SeaQurePen 500 is created with ease of use for operators in mind.

A variety of features make the SeaQurePen 500 unique on the market, including its integrated, recessed connection points for both sinker and mooring tubs. In fact, the SeaQurePen 500 significantly enhances the integrity of the pen system with no need for hoses or messy cables wrapped around the handrails. This design is incredibly refreshing and provides a polished, professional look to any farm.

Farm operatives can also carry out tasks hassle-free with ease, thanks to the impressive Hinged Service Deck, providing users with easy access to sub-service connections and utilities, minimising the risk of troublesome manoeuvres and difficult access to connections.

The integrated base socket for bird net poles also reduces the need for in-pen furniture by supporting an alternative to net support wheels. Pen rotation issues are also completely eradicated with moulded anti-torsion features in the base unit socket as well as the one-piece moulded stanchion, keeping the pen stable and secure.

Pen handrails also utilise welded thrust rings, rather than the standard pins, allowing horizontal rotation but no migration. The SeaQurePen 500 is available from 120-200m in circumference and is constructed with two 50mm pipes.
