ELECTRONIC COUNTERS for fry and fingerlings

This fry counters have been developed with particular emphasis on well-being of the fish. The counters operate according to the "free-swim" principle: the fry or fingerlings (0,2-50,0 g depending on species) are in their natural element all the time and swim through the counter unit by instinct. Thus the counting will in no way cause stress to the fish. The counters have patented nozzles that separate the fish by means of water so that each of them passes the photoelectric cell - a simple and reliable way of counting the fry with 98-100 % accuracy. The counters are fitted with reliable electronic components with memory. The electronic cylinder operates on chargeable batteries but may also be connected to 220 V/50 Hz. Sensor unit and electronic cylinder are both water-resistant. The counters are easy to use and to handle.

PIPELINE COUNTERS for many fishes

This fish scanners are based on a patented counting principle which gives both high capacity and accuracy (98-100 %). The fish flows freely through a pipe and passes an advanced camera/measuring system (CCD Camera chip) which will register the size and speed of the passing fish. The resulting data is then transmitted to a control unit which may handle as many as 4 channels (e.g. during grading) simultaneously. It is not necessary to have any space between the fish passing simultaneously. The robust and reliable electronics of the system will always provide the total number of fish passing through the unit. The splash-proof counters are easy to use and suitable for direct fish pump or grading machine feeding. Optionally an easy-to-use PC software which will in addition to presenting the accurate number, give you all the information you need from the counters. It gives you real time monitoring with key features like: number, weight (average/total/distribution), speed, efficiency, Reg. Unit status, lens check, systems log and printing the results.

The control unit (dimensions WxHxD 28x13x37 cm, weight 5 kg) is made from powder-painted marine aluminum case which is sturdy, splash-proof and user-friendly. The power supply is 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz (consumption 10-33 Watt), 12 or 24VDC (150 Watt power inverter available as accessories). The input channels can power and control up to 4 CSE or 2 CSF registration units at the same time. It has fluorescent buttons and backlit display, and also connectors for auxiliary equipment like PC, and PLC control etc. The adjustable carrying handle can also lift the front of the control unit (to approx. 10º, 30º and 45º) for easy operation and a better view. As options an external siren (115dB) and a PC monitoring system (requires a COM-cable) is available. The control unit can easily be connected to a PC to monitor and log the counting.
The CSE-units are used for "dry"-counting (pipe 0-25 % full of water through the unit) and suitable for many applications.
The CSF-units are used for wet-counting (pipe 100 % full of water through the unit) and suitable for special applications.
All registration units are delivered with 10 meter cable, other lengths available on request.
