New version of ScaleAQ’s DFC pre-grinder

ScaleAQ’s department at Skodje outside Ålesund has since the development of the DFC-20 pre-grinder delivered over 50 pre-grinders to the aquaculture industry. As one of the market’s largest pre-grinders, this has been a fantastic success.

ScaleAQ’s department at Skodje outside Ålesund has since the development of the DFC-20 pre-grinder delivered over 50 pre-grinders to the aquaculture industry. As one of the market’s largest pre-grinders, this has been a fantastic success.

DFC-20 is currently installed on ScaleAQ’s new barges in concrete and steel, adapted to existing barges, delivered as a mobile pre-grinder and adapted to stand alone grinder tanks from ScaleAQ.

For some applications, we see that the DFC-20 with its enormous capacity of 20 tons / hour is too much. Some customers do not need these capacities and we are therefore often compared with competing solutions with lower capacity and a lower price. We wanted to do something about this and at the request of the market, we have therefore developed a new version of the DFC pre-grinder, the new DFC-10!

This is a machine developed and manufactured based on the experience of DFC-20. The machine has an estimated capacity of 10 tons / hour and handles all fish sizes due to its huge teeth. The machine is delivered with a funnel that feeds the fish nicely down towards the fearsome slow-rotating teeth. The machine is powered by the same 7.5kW electric motor as the DFC-20 and comes with a starter cabinet. Safety features such as hatch switches that prevent the machine from running as long as the hatches are open are standard.

Sales price

The price of the new DFC-10 has been reduced by 25%, which makes it an attractive product for both new and existing builds.

DFC-10 including funnel with two-part hatch and starter cabinet – 248 840 NOK
DFC-20 including funnel with two-part hatch and starter cabinet – 334 840 NOK

For both pre-grinders there are additions for flanges or other adjustments.

ScaleAQ Project and barge department takes care of adaptations to new barge builds. ScaleAQ department Skodje takes care of adaptations to existing barges or systems, contact Andreas Flåten or Tommy Larsen.

Applications

DFC-10 will, in the same way as DFC-20, be available at:

  • ScaleAQ’s concrete and steel barges (this is handled by the project department and the barge department)
  • Extensions to existing barges from both ScaleAQ and other barge suppliers (here there will be an addition to the price based on which solution you have to adapt the pre-grinder to, contact the department at Skodje for pricing such solutions to customers)
  • Stand-alone grinder tanks from the department at Skodje

The new DFC-10 will not currently be delivered as a mobile pre-grinder. If customers want mobile pre-grinding solutions, we then stick to the DFC-20 mobile pre-grinder.

Do your customers need help with their existing dead fish handling system?

Take a look at this document on upgrading silage systems with the customer. Then we make a proposal for improvement based on the existing system and product.
