New standard in Aquafeed
TBMA have redesigned their H-GRD blowing seal, dedicated to handling fish feed on feed barges for open sea fish farming. Barge builders have to deal with specific requirements for the feeding systems, such as limited space and an isolated, salty environment. So, how could we help them with a smart solution valve?
The H-GRD of itself already is a robust and reliable valve that offers efficient dosing. Most important for aquafeed, its gentle handling causes minimal damage to the fish feed and therefore minimal water pollution. As a result, the ROI of the valve is very favourable.
For the redesign, we mounted a direct in-line drive and consequently reduced the number of parts. As a result, maintenance is even easier than before and less spare parts are required. Moreover, the valve has a smaller installation size. Triple advantage!
We are excited that our customers have enthusiastically welcomed the new design: the valves have already been used on the largest barge built so far.
The upgraded H-GRD will be on display at Solids Rotterdam (stand G05 | 1-2 October | Rotterdam (NL)).
