Cages - the world´ s leading cage supplier AKVA group is the world’s leading supplier of both plastic and steel cages. Polarcirkel, the most recognized brand in aquaculture, invented the plastic cage concept in Norway in 1974, and has since supplied more than 42,000 cages worldwide. The renowned Wavemaster steel cages originated in Ireland in 1985, and more than 12,000 cages have since been delivered globally. In order to ensure the highest possible quality, competitive pricing and on-time deliveries, the cages and components are manufactured in many different regions. All cages are installed by professional installation teams, and serviced by professional AKVA group service technicians. AKVA group invests heavily in innovative and professional R&D in order to remain the leading supplier of cages; not only to improve products in the short term, but also to look into the future of tomorrow’s demands for cage technology. w w w .akvagroup.com 28 29
All-Plastic-Cages: A well proven concept in Polarcirkel Cages flexible cage design for extreme conditions... Experience is a crucial success factor in the fish farming business. AKVA group (Polarcirkel) invented the plastic cage in 1974, and has since supplied more than 42.000 Polarcirkel Cages and 12.000 Polarcirkel Boats. The cages are made from raw materials especially suited for the dynamic loads of the sea, and are available in a wide range New PIM Bracket design provides of models, shapes and sizes to suit superior strength. individual needs. Strong and rigid HDPE Many have tried to copy these products, hand rails. but none have managed to match the genuine Polarcirkel designs and quality builds. Plastic cages started out as small single pipe circles, but now our largest models approach 200m circumference, and with floating pipes of 500mm diameter. Both circular and square cage systems are available. Combined with AKVA group´ s global sales and service network, the The Polarcirkel cages Polarcirkel Cage is well proven and include smart solutions for A secondary redundancy recognized worldwide. fully integrated walkways, safety chain placed inside sinker tube systems, safety the outer floating pipe is Safe Polarcirkel w alkw ays floatation and system optional. redundancies. In order to increase crew safety on fish farms, another Polarcirkel innovation was launched in 1999; the integrated Polarcirkel quality and certifjcation Polarcirkel Walkways.

Polarcirkel cage sizes Polarcirkel Cages - designed for rough conditions... The most popular models are the circular cages in 315, Strong Polarcirkel PI M Brackets 400, 450 and 500mm floating pipes with circumferences Extensive use of PE (Polyethylene) in our PIM (Pressure Injection from 90-160m. Moulded) brackets eliminates corrosion, minimizes expensive and difficult maintenance, and substantially increases cage lifespan compared to steel brackets. This is especially important in areas with high salinity, warm water temperatures and choppy seas. Only strong and high quality PE is used for Polarcirkel brackets, while many suppliers use weak and low quality rotationally moulded Medium and Low Density Polyethylene. This makes the Polarcirkel brackets superior in terms of structural strength, durability and UV resistance. This is especially important in high energy offshore farm sites and areas with high UV radiation from the sun. For areas prone to icing, such as Norway and Canada, another critical advantage of the Polarcirkel HDPE brackets is that they will not ice up as steel brackets do. Icing is a dangerous safety problem for all floating structures, including cages. Heavy ice overloads the cage, reduces Proven Sinker Tube concept stability and jeopardizes overall cage integrity. As the name indicates, As cages grew bigger and nets became the Polarcirkel cages are well suited for extreme arctic conditions! harder and harder to control in strong All Polarcirkel Cage designs are carried out by our professional R&D currents, Polarcirkel invented the sinker department.
