Paddle Wheel Aerator for shrimp farming

A paddle wheel aerator for shrimp farming boosts oxygen levels by circulating water efficiently. It promotes healthy shrimp growth, stable water quality, and better survival rates in intensive aquaculture systems.

Built for intensive shrimp pond environments, our high-efficiency paddle wheel aerator uses powerful rotating paddles to maximize surface agitation and oxygen diffusion. It ensures uniform water movement, prevents thermal stratification, and enhances microbial balance—essential for maintaining pond health and improving shrimp growth and survival. Ideal for commercial shrimp operations.

Shrimp farming Ponds with Paddle wheel Aerators had lower water temperatures by 3%. paddle wheels aerators can increase net crop value by 40% and lower the operating costs. Float Aerator.

4. Built to Last

Made with HDPE, stainless steel, and saltwater-resistant coatings.

5. Flexible for Any Setup

Choose from 1HP to 3HP models to suit traditional, semi-intensive, or intensive ponds.

1. How does a paddle wheel aerator for shrimp farming improve dissolved oxygen?

A paddle wheel aerator increases dissolved oxygen by splashing and agitating the pond surface, enhancing oxygen transfer from air to water, which is essential for maintaining healthy shrimp in intensive farming systems.

2. What is the ideal paddle wheel aerator size for a shrimp pond?

The ideal size depends on pond area and stocking density. Typically, shrimp farmers use 1HP to 2HP paddle wheel aerators for medium ponds, while larger and intensive ponds may require multiple units or higher horsepower models.

3. How many paddle wheel aerators do I need for shrimp farming?

A common rule is 1 horsepower of aeration for every 300–500 kg of shrimp biomass. The required units depend on stocking density, pond depth, and feeding load.

4. Are paddle wheel aerators energy-efficient for shrimp culture?

Yes. Modern paddle wheel aerators are designed for low power consumption and high oxygen transfer efficiency, making them one of the most energy-efficient aeration solutions for shrimp farms.

5. Can I use a solar-powered paddle wheel aerator for shrimp farming?

Absolutely. Solar paddle wheel aerators are increasingly popular in aquaculture as they reduce operating cost and provide sustainable aeration—especially in off-grid shrimp ponds.

6. How often should I run a paddle wheel aerator in a shrimp pond?

Most farmers run aerators during the night when DO levels drop, and especially from late evening to early morning. In high-density ponds, continuous or scheduled aeration may be required.

7. Does a paddle wheel aerator help control ammonia in shrimp ponds?

Yes. By improving water circulation and oxygen levels, paddle wheels enhance microbial activity that breaks down ammonia and other harmful compounds.
