Sensors for aquaculture
How full is a particular tank at this moment? When do supplies need to be delivered? If you’re able to keep a close eye on the status and quality data regarding feed, fish health, water quality and environmental conditions, you can react more quickly to changes. That’s why VEGA sensors are the primary building block in aquaculture processes – they not only deliver this important data, they also guarantee higher efficiency and safety.
Level and pressure measurement technology for reliable transparency
VEGA sensors are equipped for the demanding measuring tasks in aquaculture – from feed silos and rearing tanks to transport vessels and silage storage. Equipped with front-flush measurement technology and cleanable housings suitable for outdoor use, they protect fish stocks and bring durability and efficiency to every application.
Robust measurement technology for safe and reliable automation of fish farming processes
Front-flush, tight, reliable
To ensure safe and stable processes, VEGA offers a design specifically tailored to the exacting requirements of the industry. High-quality materials withstand demanding outdoor use and aggressive substances such as cleaning agents. Front-flush process fittings prevent injuries to the animals. The robust housing design even withstands steam jet cleaning.
Efficient against fish lice
Aquaculture operators combat the spread of fish lice, either chemically or mechanically. So-called “lice tubes” are increasingly being used. When the fish swim through these tubes, the lice are mechanically sucked off their bodies using a negative pressure.
VEGA pressure transmitters ensure the correct process conditions and, thanks to their front-flush ceramic process fittings, avoid possible injuries to the sensitive animals.
