If you’re farming fish on a commercial scale – in the tough conditions of the Northern Territory – you need heavy duty, reliable machinery. So when one of Australia’s largest producers of farmed Barramundi needed an efficient pumping solution, they called
At the bottom of their breeding ponds – where the big fish are grown to size – a massive amount of sludge accumulates. So after one population of Barrumundi is removed and sent to market, the pond needs a good clean before a new batch of youngsters go in.
Brett Hansen, Territory Manager WA/NT explained “For this large-scale aquaculture operation, it’s very important for the health and quality of the product that the water is as clean as possible. That’s why a heavy duty pump that can handle sludge – without constantly blocking – is required”.
After visiting the fish farm and looking at the sludgy consistency of the liquid in the pond, Brett recommended a new
“With a full tank of fuel, the CP150 can run constantly for 48 hours straight. Even better, it provides a suction lift of 9 metres, which allows the pipe to easily reach the bottom of these large Barrumundi ponds. And with the ability to handle 77mm of solids – plus a high flow capacity of 120 litres per second – this particular model is designed and constructed for tough jobs just like this one” said Brett.
