AKVA FNC8
A powerful remote net cleaning rig.
The AKVA FNC8 is a powerful remote net cleaning rig that can be operated via a handheld mobile console or from a control room.
The Flying Net Cleaner 8 (FNC8) has a cleaning efficiency that outperforms nearly every other option. It is built with standard ROV components that are easy to clean and disinfect. It also has several built-in auto features and advanced IP camera systems and sensors for complete monitoring during the entire cleaning process.
This ROV net cleaner is based on a patent-pending principle that ensures that the rig is in balance regardless of whether it cleans horizontally, vertically, or upside-down.
The cleaning rig is easy to operate via a handheld mobile console or from a control room. A new and intuitive positioning system helps you keep track of which parts of the pen that has been cleaned and automatically generates necessary documentation for each job.

Flexible operations
The thrusters are designed for flexible operations with no sharp wheels or belts that can damage the net.
Balance
The rig is always in balance regardless of whether it cleans horizontally, vertically or upside down.
Complete monitoring
Advanced IP camera solutions and sensors ensure complete monitoring during the entire cleaning process.
Higher water flow = minimal wear
AKVA FNC8 2.0 supports a higher water flow, which makes it possible to reduce the pressure without affecting the cleaning performance. This way, the wear on the net impregnation is reduced to an absolute minimum.
Almost like mowing the lawn
Cleaning the net with an FNC8 net cleaner almost feels like mowing the lawn, except the cleaning is done with high-pressure water instead of mechanical processes.
