CSS Heavy Duty Fish Transfer Suction & Delivery Hose with Scuff Strip

Description

Heavy Duty Fish Farming Hose for Commercial Aquaculture

Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the commercial aquaculture industry, our Heavy Duty Scuff Strip Hose is designed specifically for high-yield fish and salmon farming. Whether you are coordinating from mainland distribution hubs in Aberdeen and Glasgow, or actively deploying across offshore farm sites in Shetland, Orkney, and the Hebrides, this hose delivers the operational efficiency and severe-condition reliability essential for modern marine harvests.

High Vacuum Suction & Yield-Protecting Smooth Bore

High-volume processing requires equipment that maintains the quality of your harvest without slowing down operations. This suction and delivery hose features a high vacuum capability rated up to 9m of water, making it perfectly suited for the rapid lifting and transfer of fish out of the water for processing. Crucially, the completely smooth inner wall (bore) minimizes friction and is specifically designed to be minimally damaging to delicate fish scales during volume handling. By significantly reducing physical damage to the fish, you ensure a premium-grade final product consistently reaches the market.

Extreme Marine Durability & Maximum Abrasion Resistance

Built for the severe working environments of offshore pens and processing vessels, the hose is reinforced with a semi-rigid, crush-resistant white PVC spiral helix encapsulated within a clear, flexible PVC cover. While structurally robust to maintain its shape under pressure, its standout feature is the external raised blue scuff strip. This provides exceptional abrasion resistance, ensuring long-lasting defense against rough docks, boat edges, and heavy-duty marine equipment. It also boasts outstanding resistance to the effects of harsh weather and excellent chemical resistance, operating safely in ambient temperatures ranging from -10°C to +60°C.

Certified Food-Grade Aquaculture Safety & Contamination Prevention

Protecting the end consumer and maintaining the marketability of your salmon and other farmed fish is non-negotiable. The hose materials are completely non-toxic and strictly DEHP-free, eliminating the risk of harmful chemicals contaminating the water or the product during transfer. Fully compliant with FDA, REACH, and RoHS standards, this hose ensures that your harvest remains free from toxic plasticisers from the farm all the way to processing.

Specialist Delivery Logistics, Stock & Collection Options

Because these industrial hoses are often supplied in robust 10-meter cured straight lengths, we offer specialized B2B logistics tailored to your operational scale. We provide dedicated lorry delivery directly to mainland transport hubs like Aberdeen and Glasgow. We operate on a flat-rate carriage model per lorry—which accommodates up to 13 straight lengths—meaning the delivery cost is identical whether you order a single length or a full load, making bulk orders highly economical for large operations.

If you prefer to arrange your own collection, we package orders in a specialized 8-meter protective pallet (accommodating up to 5 lengths per pallet) for a pallet fee. This custom pallet is specifically designed to prevent third-party transport drivers from accidentally driving forklift forks through the hose, ensuring your equipment arrives in pristine condition.

To support your immediate site requirements, we actively maintain safety stock levels of our 12" hose in both 10-meter and 12-meter lengths, and generally hold several 20-meter coils of our 6" and 8" profiles. For bespoke specifications or items outside of current stock, our standard manufacturing lead time is approximately 3 weeks, subject to seasonal demand.
