We manufacture or supply a wide range of other fish farming equipment, some of which are briefly described here. Broodstock Tanks with Individual Photoperiod Control These Broodstock tanks are manufactured in insulated modular Glass Reinforced Cement (GRC) panels and come complete with fittings ready for installation. The tanks are normally supplied as 'walls only' which are suitable for installation on a concrete base to be provided by others, and are complete with an internal screen, discharge pipework and an external shrouded discharge stand pipe with adjustable level control. (GRC is a moulded composite made up from hydraulic cement, fine silica sand and alkali resistant glass reinforcement. No ferrous reinforcement is incorporated, thus eliminating internal corrosion problems.)  Each tank is supplied with a modular GRP roof unit which fits closely to the top of the tank wall and rise to an apex enabling staff to enter the tank if necessary. One inspection or entry hatch is provided as standard with all tanks. Additional hatches can be provided for longer tanks, or to suit specific requirements.
Optionally the tanks can be fitted with our standard self-cleaning system which transforms them into a full specification Kingfisher D ended continuous raceway. A weir facility can also be incorporated to enable surface discharge and egg collection in applications if required. 12v DC lighting systems are available which can be operated either direct from a rechargeable battery or via a mains voltage transformer. Timer controls and variable light intensity switching can be incorporated to suit specific requirements. Hatchery Incubator System The Kingfisher hatchery incubator is a vertical flow egg incubator unit suitable for use with a range of fish eggs. The jars, which are made from unbreakable clear acrylic, incorporate a number of features designed to provide the operator with an efficient addition to the hatchery process. The unit is based on a heavy duty hot-dip galvanised steel frame which is free-standing and fitted with levelling adjustments to two of the four legs. The incoming water supply passes along a horizontal inlet water manifold which is attached to the main frame. The water flow for each jar rises vertically from the manifold, passing through a diaphragm valve, which acts both as a flow regulator and isolating valve. The valve also includes an anti-tampering device as standard to prevent unauthorised adjustment, and can be optionally fitted with a locking system. A socket union attached to the valve provides a simple method of jar removal, and a ball check valve prevents the contents of the jar draining back during removal. The jar is secured to the main frame by a snap clip. A vertical discharge pipe from the collecting trough leads directly to a holding tank positioned between the frame legs. The holding tank, which is mounted on heavy duty nylon wheels, is fitted with a weir type overflow device which ensures that the discharging water is drawn from the bottom of the tank. The discharge incorporates an anti-siphon control. Suspended in the tank is a fine mesh collecting net mounted on a PVC frame, and into which the discharging flow is directed. ........back to top of page |
