Sinker Tubes

Sinker tubes are a heavy duty thick walled butt fused PE weighted ring suspended sub-surface below the base of the main containment net and can be used for a variety of reasons including:

• Maximises the main containment net volume in higher current/energy environments which optimises stock holding capacity
• Enhances the structure and integrity of the net ensuring convenient use of automated net cleaning technology
• Allows better oxygen flow through nets
• Can be used with anti-predator netting
• Allows for use of smaller mesh nets enabling use of cleaner fish
• The Sinker Tubes internal dead weight is either large diameter wire rope or heavy duty chain internally linked and weight per metre tailored to meet specific site conditions.
• Equidistant suspension points fitted to the sinker tube include a 3Ton webbing sling choked around the pipe connection to the suspension line with a welded PE stopper either side to hold in position
• Flexible suspension lines are available in either rope or chain.
