Liftup AS<\/a> explains how its innovative systems are being used to remove waste from fish farms safely and efficiently.<\/h2>\n

Liftup AS is a world leader in the development, production, and distribution of mortality removal systems for use in fish farm<\/a> cages. The pumps are developed and produced in our factory on the west coast of Norway. Our company has agents and partners in Scotland, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Canada, and Chile, who offer installation assistance, service and equipment parts to customers.<\/p>\n

Liftup pumps are simple and robust in their construction and use compressed air to lift the fish from the bottom of the cages to the surface for removal by boat and onward treatment. Our pumps have been delivered to fish farming companies all over the world, principally in the salmon farming sector, and within the segment of automated mortality removal equipment. We account for around 90% of the total world supply in this niche market. Daily removal of mortalities from the cages is vital to maintain a healthy and sanitary environment for the remaining livestock.<\/p>\n

We engage in substantial and constant R&D which includes the following developments.<\/p>\n

Back-to-Barge system<\/h3>\n

As the salmon farming industry expands, there is a greater need for efficiency and automation, so we have developed a system where all the mortality removal pumps in the cages are connected to a main line back to the working barge.<\/p>\n

The Back-to-Barge pumping system makes collecting and transporting fish from the cages to the barge a fully automated operation. Dead fish are pumped from the bottom of the cages through a fully enclosed pipe-grid to the service barge for dewatering, separation, and disposal treatment. This allows for easier and more convenient collection and handling, regardless of weather conditions.<\/p>\n
