Min. 60 kg/m3  

Density

30+ years

Expected life-time

< 1%

Expected mortality rate

1,0 - 1,5 kWh/kg

Energy-efficient production with an average consumption of 1.5 kWh per kg depending on desired water exchange

25 - 50 meters

Fixed water intake at 25 meters, or flexible intake from 15 - 50 meters

Particulate waste

Automatic collection of waste and dead fish

Up to 28.000 m3/h

Pumping and filtration capacity per cage

Hs 4,3

Hexacage is certified for an Hs 4.3. The system is tested at SINTEF and shows almost no sloshing effect

Hexacage's goals

A marine steel structure with sea characteristics, protection and life time as for vessel

Full control of water by filtering all incoming water, ensuring ample water volume, and controlling the current within the cage

Risk-free and safe operations in all conditions

Thoroughly sustainable within biology, environment, and energy

Hexacage enables industrialized farming in closed sea facilities

Hexacage ensures a healthy and stress-free growth environment

Hexacage – a marine steel structure

- Flexible suction in-water
- OX-system

Good biology is
good economy

The key lies in tank design, control of water flow, speed, and quantity.

We can filter out sea lice and eggs from the water flow and add oxygen.

Homogeneous water mass, water supply, and outlet throughout the entire water column.

Good hygiene. Easy cleaning on site, can be lifted out of the water for washing, disinfection, and annual inspection.

Biological gains

No escape - no predators

No lice or lice treatment

No pollution from net cleaning

No use of cleaner fish

Improved biological performance

Mortality expected to be reduced to under 1%
