Net Cleaning Robot

COVERING A WIDER RANGE AT FASTER SPEEDS,
CLEANING A LARGE FISH FARMING NET IN A SHORT PERIOD

Yanmar's only one and number one environment-friendly technology saves net cleaning costs, promotes farmed fish growth, and contributes to it's quality improvements in cultured aquatic products. It's the net cleaning robot. Fish Farming nets need to be cleaned periodically to maintain water quality and protect the fish against disease. With this aqua culture solution only one person is needed to clean the net and he doesn't have to go into the water.

SENSUI-KUN MarkⅢ

Easily clean your nets with Saving cost, Raising High Quality fish, Easy on Environment.

Fish farming nets need to be cleaned periodically to maintain water quality and protect aquaculture fishes against disease.
Yanmar's Sensui-Kun Mark Ⅲ is a self-propelled submergible cleaner that efficiently cleans underwater netting.
Only one person is needed to control and operate the cleaner. In just a short amount of time, side and bottom of the fish farm net can be cleaned without raising net, displacing aquaculture fishes or putting people in the water, giving users tremendous labor-savings results.

Merits of efficient net cleaning

  • Prevents the proliferation of parasites because fish farming nets are kept clean.
  • Anti fouling chemical and medicine for fish use can be reduced.
  • Improves the flow of water through the nets and eliminates a drop of oxygen concentration in the fish farming cage, thereby preventing a decrease in feeding activity and an associated reduction in the number of aquaculture fishes in the cage.
  • Prevents harm to aquaculture fishes by adhering shellfish.
  • Prevents weight increases of farming net caused by biofouling to the net, hence avoiding sinking and damage of farming net cages.
  • Cleaning can be done anytime iti is needed.
  • Reduces use of cleaning agents

Strong cleaning action, effective cleaning by close contact

All of the water from a high pressure pump is used to ensure on-the-spot powerful cleaning. The recoil from the water jet is used to turn the propeller and keep the cleaner pressed against the net. Users will enjoy wonderful cleaning performance.

Easy setup and placement in fish farming cages

Allows the nets to be cleaned anytime it is needed. The cleaner can be fed through a small opening in bird guarding nets over the fish farming cages and into the water, making it easy to clean netting.

Easy remote control operation and monitoring of underwater operations

The cleaner can be guided and operated by simply operating the remote control box joysticks. And, underwater operations can be checked in real-time on a TV monitor.

Large SENSUI-KUN

Taking a short time to clean a large aquaculture net

The product has a wide cleaning width and travels fast, thus ensuring a top cleaning speed approximately four times as high as that of conventional models.
You can expect a significant reduction in operator labor costs.

Powerful cleaning

The product uses all the water in the pump, thus exerting powerful cleaning performance.

Operability and travel performance

The product uses crawler belts that work in combination with wheels, thus riding over both vertical and horizontal lines and other irregularities of the aquaculture net with ease.
Furthermore, the product is equipped with a propeller drive system that utilizes nozzle reaction force and generates strong thrust, thus running stably at high speeds.

Excellent visibility (Adoption of super-wide-angle cameras)

The product incorporates a super-wide-angle camera each on the front and rear sides, thus making it possible to confirm the cleaning range on a monitor screen. Furthermore, the super-wide-angle lenses of the cameras ensure ease of use with excellent visibility.
