Complete mussel farming equipment — buoys, ropes, harvesting systems.
Complete farm equipment for long-line mussel farming projects. We deliver the submersible HDPE mussel buoy, growing rope, anchor block and line hardware from a single supplier. Site survey, equipment selection, manufacturing, packing and commissioning are run by the ASAKUA team. We have installations across Black Sea, Marmara, Adriatic and Atlantic coastal sites.
Sheltered Black Sea and Marmara coastlines, Adriatic gulfs and similar sites where lines run at the surface or just below it. The standard Ø 500 × 1,200 mm mussel buoy supports the cultivation rope and biomass through the full grow-out cycle; the anchor block and PP rope set fix both ends of the line. This configuration is typical for production bands of 50 t to 1,000 t per year.
Wave-exposed offshore sites where the line is sunk below the active wave zone. The mussel buoy holds pressure to 30 m without deformation — no gas port, no EPS fill. This configuration withstands wave conditions above 2 m on Atlantic exposed shores and storm-exposed bays; the mooring system is engineered with DNV-OS-E403 as reference.
Single-supplier service for new mussel farm setup, covering site survey, line layout, equipment selection, manufacturing, packing, transport and on-site installation. ASAKUA teams execute site installation on international projects. System sizing is based on target annual production (t), site current/wave profile and line spacing.
Complete mussel farm equipment is built from four main components: the submersible HDPE mussel buoy (injection-moulded, Ø 500 × 1,200 mm standard, 235 L buoyancy), the growing rope (PP or polyethylene, gauge and braid selected per project), the chain-linked anchor block (HDG chain plus ASAKUA-manufactured concrete or steel block) and the line hardware (shackles, swivels, master links, connection plates).
Line layout is engineered against site data. In a standard configuration each 100 m line carries 80 to 100 mussel buoys; spacing is set between 0.8 m and 1.5 m to biomass and current profile. The growing rope runs as a continuous or segmented (sock / dropper) system; sock selection depends on the local species and harvest cycle.
The mooring side uses NS 9415-grade hardware as reference and DNV-OS-E403 as the mooring-sizing reference. All HDPE components are produced from EN 12201-certified UV-stabilised PE100. The mussel buoy is manufactured at the ASAKUA Izmir facility — the injection line, capable of moulding up to 90 kg, holds wall-thickness consistency that rotomoulded floats cannot match. ASAKUA has supplied aquaculture equipment to 39 countries; the mussel farm line is active at sites across the Black Sea, Marmara, Adriatic and Atlantic coastlines.
