Pumping systems
Pumping fish can be a critical and demanding task, and Maskon has developed some products to make it easier. Below you can read more about our pumping station and vacuum tank.

Dimensions of the make-up water
This depends on the desired transport speed and the dimensions of the pipes. It also depends on whether the fish have been anaesthetised or not. We can help calculate the water requirements if required. A pump requires approximately 64 m³/hour at a speed of 1 m/s.

Primary motor: 2.2 kW
Description
Fitted as standard with automatic priming.
Water requirements
Pump speed of 1 m/s: approx. 192 m³/hour
Pump speed of 2.0 m/s: approx. 384 m³/hour
Pumping station
Maskon has developed a pump station to simplify the transportation of fish in a gentle way, typically used for transport back to the tank after vaccination or sorting. The pump station is available in 4″, 6″, and 8″ versions with 1 to 4 pumps. It has a low inlet height of approximately 220mm and a rotation-molded inlet manifold to ensure fish welfare. Additionally, the unit can be divided to handle different water qualities, which is often required in a modern RAS system.
Vacuum tank
Our newly developed vacuum tank can remove large amounts of air in the pumping line. This will ensure that the pump does not stop working due to air, and thus ensure that the fish does not get stuck in pipes and hoses. This is especially critical for long pumping distances. This system will also remove any cavitation in the pumping line and provide a smoother transport for the fish. In combination with our automatic fish pump, this system will be able to empty a fish tank completely automatically. Available in 6″, 8″, and 10″ sizes.
