Mariculture food pellets pipe for fish farms

Eilat, Israel (1997)

Project Description:  When raising salmon in marine cages, food pellets are compressed at high pressure and transferred a distance of 300 meters. Most types of pipes wear away the pellets, so that part is wasted and sinks to the ocean floor, and salmon will not eat food pellets which are too small. In addition, the PE pipes suffer from abrasion and must be replaced frequently.

Challenges

• Abrasion
• Damage to food pellets
