We manufacture and supply a range of superior performance mussel floats which are designed and manufactured for the most demanding conditions. Ideal for inshore and offshore locations, they are proven in the most exposed conditions of the Atlantic Ocean.
In order to help grow your mussel crop, our floats offer several distinct advantages. The float has been specifically designed to withstand the pressures of high waves and sit steadily on the water, even when loaded with a full crop of mussels. A unique patented fin design reduces the movement of the float in the water making the line more stable even in rough sea conditions.
The oval shape design reduces the impact on the float from the ocean during rough seas, which in turn reduces the loss of crop from lines. Our float handles are offset from the centre of the float. The purpose of this is so that the head line will be submerged using only 25% of the float’s floatation compared to others amounting up to 50% of the float’s floatation.
For ease of handling, the mooring eyes are strong and durable with both a long and wide opening. This increases the lashing area for the head line and reduces the risk of wear and tear on head line ropes.
Manufactured in a marine grey colour which reduces the visual impact to surrounding environment, the polyethylene is fortified with UV stabilisers designed especially for marine applications. All of these factors culminate in significantly increased yields over a shorter time period for the mussel farmer. For further information see www.jfcmarine.com
