Oloïd

Agitate Aerate Circulate

Applications

EMPLOYMENT OF THE OLOID TECHNOLOGY FOR THE TREATMENT OF:

AQUACULTURE, AQUARIUMS, & FISH FARMS

Effect
Circulation, flow und waves are important features in aquatics.
OLOID-agitators complements or replaces circulation pumps. No other device generates a flow so similar to the natural flow in reefs and coastal waters.
The OLOID, driven by two axles, moves like the tail fin of a fish. It generates a pulsating and directed flow that is similar to the thrust that is generated by a fish. Fish are not hurt due to its natural shape and movement.

Benefits of OLOID agitators
The OLOID moves large water volumes (up to 1,400 m3/h) with 20 % of the usual installed pump power. This saves operating costs.
The pulsating flow generates vibrations even in parts of the water body that are not reached by the flow (e.g. behind corals). Dirt is not deposited.

Cleaning of the water and the sediment
Fine particles (such as remains of food and excrements) are kept in suspension by the flow and pulsation of the water. The particles are filtered out in the aquariums' water treatment filter.

Installation and Service
The machines are positioned at the water surface, ensuring a simple maintenance. High value materials prevent corrosion and ensure a long durability.

Circulation

Rhythm and Flow
A changing and rhythmical flow are key-elements for nursing corals and anemones, here in a port basin display at Monterey Bay Aquarium. The sessile organisms are supplied with food particles by the flow that is generated by an OLOID type 200 A/S.
