Embodiment Construction

[0054] figure 1 The seaweed harvesting system 1 according to the invention is shown in a perspective view. In this case, the harvesting system is arranged on a vessel 12 . The seaweed harvesting system 1 is designed for collecting seaweed from the sea.

[0055] The harvesting system comprises an inlet section 3 for collecting a seaweed substrate 13 for growing seedlings and / or seaweed at the waterline. Here, the inlet section 3 is V-shaped and guides the substrate 13 into the harvesting system 1 . In other words, harvesting system 1 has guide means 13 for aligning substrate 13 and harvesting system 1 . Here, the matrix 13 is in the form of a thread or rope.

[0056] The harvesting system 1 comprises a transport device 2 for transporting the substrate from the inlet section through the harvesting system in the transport direction.

[0057] The harvesting device 1 comprises a washing device 5 for washing the algae as the substrate 13 is transported through the washing devic...

Abstract

The present invention therefore seeks to provide a seaweed harvesting system (1) for collecting seaweed comprising: an intake section (3) for taking a seaweed substrate (13) for growing seedlings and / or seaweed at the waterline, a transport device (2) for transporting the substrate (13) in a transport direction from the intake section (3) through the harvesting system (1), a cutting device (7) forcutting the seaweed from the substrate (13), wherein the cutting device (7) comprises a pre-tensioning system (16) to control a cutting force applied to the substrate (13).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a seaweed harvesting system, a vessel comprising such a seaweed harvesting system, a seaweed cultivation system, and a coupling device for coupling a seaweed substrate. Background technique [0002] The cultivated seaweed is usually harvested by hand. Fully mechanical harvesting is usually only done on naturally occurring seaweed types that grow on the seafloor. Harvesting is done with rakes and cranes as the seaweed grows on the sea floor. Although some devices have been developed to assist in the cultivation and harvesting process of seaweed, most of the work involves heavy and dangerous manual labor. One such device can be found in WO 2013 / 022336 which discloses a device having lines for holding seaweed in rows, supports for holding the seaweed in fixed positions along the lines, and for harvesting ship. The boats can be traditional boats used by local fishermen. The ship has a harvester and during harvesting a ...
