Key Benefits of Frøyaringen:
- Exceptional durability: The fully welded bracing system and rugged steel clamps provide excellent resistance to operational and environmental loads – including the added weight of today’s equipment-heavy farming practices.
- Enhanced safety: The continuous steel construction with secondary safeguards minimizes the risk of structural failure or fish escape, while protecting the flotation pipes – the core components of the pen.
- Flexibility and movement: The float pipes move freely within the clamps, both in torsion and longitudinally, reducing wear and extending lifespan.
- Certified quality: Developed in accordance with NS9415 and thoroughly tested in harsh conditions to ensure safe, year-round operations.
- Adaptable to various sites: Frøyaringen is available in multiple sizes and configurations, and is compatible with a wide range of pen systems and farming practices – from sheltered fjords to fully exposed locations.
A Strong and Flexible Support System
At the heart of Frøyaringen is its load-bearing bracing system. The bracing sections distribute forces evenly along the circumference of the pen, while the fully welded steel clamps transfer sea loads and protect the float pipes from localized wear – without restricting movement. All anchoring loads are absorbed by the bracing system. When properly tensioned, this prevents both overloading and slack, ensuring maximum buoyancy and a stable, circular pen ready for any conditions. We also offer a warranty on our forked bracing system.
Strength and Stability – Steel Clamps and Bracing System
The fully welded steel clamps provide extra structural strength and protection against point loads. Designed to handle modern accessories and evolving farming practices, they ensure even load distribution on the float pipes – even in high-current areas with large waves and strong winds.
