Seaweed Harvester for Cultivation and Offshore Operations
Modular seaweed harvesting system developed in collaboration with Norwegian seaweed farmers for efficient, clean, and safe harvesting.
Designed based on real operational experience, the harvester is suitable for brown seaweed species such as Saccharina and Alaria, ensuring high-quality biomass collection while preserving natural regrowth.
Capacity: up to 2 km/h (higher capacity available with hybrid configuration)
Key Features
- High-pressure water jet system for gentle separation from cultivation ropes
- Preserves roots to support natural seaweed regrowth
- No blades or metal contact for cleaner biomass
- Integrated rope cleaning system to remove debris and residues
- Adjustable for different species and harvesting conditions
- Easy installation on vessels and low maintenance operation
Optional Equipment
- Conveyor systems for onboard handling
- Tank loading units
- Rope winch systems
Benefits
- Cleaner harvested biomass with minimal contamination
- Improved harvesting efficiency and operator safety
- Reduced damage to cultivation systems
- Flexible integration with onboard processing equipment
Efficient harvesting. Clean results. Smarter operations.
