Varicon Aqua’s High-Capacity Harvesters, including the Artemia Concentrator (C-A) and Rotifer Concentrator (C-R), offer robust and scalable solutions tailored to meet the demands of modern aquaculture facilities.
Designed with more than 35 years of experience in marine hatchery operations, these systems deliver reliable and efficient performance for harvesting large volumes of live feed.
The Artemia Concentrator (C-A) is engineered for the rapid harvesting, rinsing, and concentration of artemia at any stage. It features a food-grade MDPE tank with adjustable feet and a woven 316L stainless steel mesh that incorporates a dual air curtain diffuser system to prevent clogging and ensure smooth operation.
This system is adaptable for both pump and gravity-based harvesting, making it suitable for facilities processing hundreds of millions to billions of artemia in a single cycle.
The modular design allows for further customisation, including tank size, mesh size, and air curtain configuration, ensuring compatibility with diverse operational needs.
Similarly, the Rotifer Concentrator (C-R) is optimised for high-density rotifer harvesting and concentration. It shares the same durable build quality and features a 55 µm mesh for effective filtration. The dual air curtains keep the screen clear, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent harvesting efficiency.
With its flexible design, the C-R is capable of handling large volumes of rotifers while protecting live feed from damage during the harvesting process.
Both harvesters are suitable for other live feed, including copepods and barnacles, further enhancing their versatility.
These systems are designed with no moving parts, ensuring longevity and minimal maintenance requirements. Each harvester can be remotely monitored and adjusted via Varicon Aqua’s integrated control systems, allowing operators to manage operations with ease. Supported by Varicon Aqua’s extensive after-sales service, the C-A and C-R deliver exceptional value and reliability for aquaculture professionals worldwide.
