Circular Hold Conveyor
The Circular Fish Hold Conveyor is Mikra’s innovative and ergonomic solution for transporting catch to bins in the fish hold aboard fishing vessels. Designed with a strong emphasis on operator comfort and safety, it delivers a convenient and reliable method for distributing raw material throughout the hold, reducing the physical demands placed on crew members and supporting more efficient and controlled catch handling from the moment of landing.
Ergonomic working conditions aboard fishing vessels are a critical priority, where confined spaces, heavy loads, and demanding conditions make manual catch distribution physically challenging and time-consuming. The Circular Fish Hold Conveyor addresses this directly by giving the operator full rotational control over where the catch is delivered, combined with a telescopic design that allows the conveyor to serve any part of the fish hold regardless of its size, shape, or layout.
Suitable for most types, sizes, and shapes of vessels, the Circular Fish Hold Conveyor is a flexible and practical addition to onboard operations of all kinds, delivering consistent and reliable catch distribution with a high level of operator control and safety.
What the Circular Fish Hold Conveyor is used for
The Circular Fish Hold Conveyor is used for the efficient and controlled transport of catch to bins throughout the fish hold aboard fishing vessels, where reliable distribution, ease of operation, and operator safety are equally critical to maintaining smooth and productive onboard operations.
Product is fed to the conveyor via a chute, and the operator rotates the conveyor to the desired degree to direct catch to the correct bin. The telescopic design allows the conveyor to reach any part of the hold, while the belt runs clockwise or counter clockwise to suit the direction of product flow required. Programmable collision sensors prevent operators from hitting walls, beams, or other fixtures in the fish hold, ensuring safe operation throughout. The system ships with a button enclosure and is also offered with a remote controller for added operator convenience and flexibility.
