Paddle wheel aerator has been wide used in both fish and shrimp farming for decades. As a professional manufacturer of aquaculture paddle wheel aerator, Shanghai Flojett upgraded some spare parts of traditional paddle wheel aerators, and use advanced technology to lower the motor consumption. All what we do can ensure customers have more durable, higher oxygen efficiency and more energy saving paddle wheel aerator.
Working Principle The Paddle Wheel Aerator is desgined to work by using a motor to drive the impellers, wave strong water flow that enhances surface water movement. This action enhances oxygen transfer by increasing air-water interaction. It also accelerates water circulation, prevents stratification, reduces harmful gases, and optimizes water quality, resulting in better water quality and aquaculture productivity.
Enhanced Oxygenation: High speed running paddles rapidly increase dissolved oxygen levels, helping aquatic growth and minimizing hypoxia-related losses.
Energy Optimization: Advanced technology upgraded the motor ensures maximum performance with minimal energy consumption enabling cost-effective continuous operation.
Environmentally Resilient: Constructed from corrosion resistant spare parts, suitable for both fresh and seawater environments.
Circulation Improvement: Active water and air interacting prevents water stratification, reduces sediment buildup, and lowers harmful gas level.
User-Friendly Design: Simple structure design, quick setup and low maintenance requirements ensure easy long-term operation.
Strategic placement for optimal circulation and oxygen distribution.
Ensuring proper water depth for efficient operation.
Anchoring and securing floating units.
Electrical connections and safety precautions.
Regular cleaning of impellers, floaters and motor cover.
Checking and tightening bolts and fasteners.
Lubrication of moving parts (if required).
Inspection of belts (if applicable).
Monitoring motor amperage.
Winterization in cold climates.
Choosing the ideal paddle wheel aerator suggest consider below factors:
Coverage request: choose aerator power as per pond dimensions, Larger/deeper ponds require higher horsepower aerator.
Biomass Density: High-density farming (e.g., intensive shrimp farms) requires heavy-duty aeration systems.
Cost-Effectiveness: Prioritize energy-efficient motor with low consumption to save operational expenses.
Material Quality: Saltwater farming environment need corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., 304SS)
Maintenance requirement: Choose simple structure , quick-access designs, less and easy maintenance needed.
Noise Management: Quieter-running aerators are more essential for farms nearby residential areas.
Brand & support: Warranty period and corsages, spare parts availability also are important factors.
Cost Strategy: Balance your budget with aerator performance, ensuring the aerator long durability.
We Shanghai Flojett offer traditional 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 paddles wheel aerator, further more with our high efficiency motor, they can run more 12 & 14 &16 &20 etc paddle wheel aerators.
Paddle wheel aerator is an ideal equipment to improve the water oxygen level in aquaculture filed.
Yes, we not only have electric aerator, but also supplier aerators running by diesel, solar energy.
