Delivered complete water feeding system to the first construction phase

In addition to the water feeding system, the delivery includes a feed blower, day tanks, as well as installation and assembly.

"This has been an exciting project for us, and we are very pleased to have delivered a complete water feeding system to Andfjord Salmon's first construction phase. With this delivery, Andfjord receives an energy-efficient system that facilitates high feeding capacity, while being very gentle on the feed - something initial tests have already confirmed", says Martin Eikrem, project manager at Smir.

"The facility we have now delivered will be an important contribution to Andfjord Salmon's ambitious goal of building and operating the world's most sustainable aquaculture facility of its kind", Eikrem continues.

The project has been carried out in close collaboration between Smir and Smir SET, as well as Helland Silosystem as a subcontractor for, among other things, the feed blower and day tanks.

"This is an important milestone in the development of our facility at Kvalnes", says Gøran Johansen, operations manager at Andfjord Salmon. He describes the feeding system as both forward-looking and energy-efficient.

"In addition to handling the feed in a very gentle manner, the water feeding system makes it possible to feed at different depths, which gives us increased flexibility in the feeding operation", he says. 

The facility is also designed to handle feed with different structures and consistencies.

"This gives us more options when it comes to choosing the type of feed. The sum of this gives us very favourable conditions to ensure good biological results", says Johansen.
