Movement becomes technology – and technology becomes a system that understands nature.
Drives for aquatics and aquaculture
Flow technology for natural habitats
A steady water flow in the aquarium is crucial for stable water values and the well-being of the animals. It ensures efficient distribution of nutrients, enriches the water with oxygen and reliably transports waste products to the filter. At the same time, a natural flow promotes the activity of the aquarium inhabitants, strengthens their immune system and creates conditions similar to those found in natural waters.
KAG develops customised DC drives for these demanding requirements, which are used in aquarium flow pumps. Our drive systems are an integral part of the Panta Rhei brand pump products – the only supplier that develops flow pumps with true laminar flow.
Compared to turbulent currents, which slow down and lose energy when they hit obstacles, laminar flow in an aquarium creates gentle and even water movement. It flows effortlessly around decorations and reef structures, achieves a greater range in the tank and is particularly energy-efficient.
KAG’s EC drives impress with their high precision, long service life and particularly quiet operation – decisive factors for modern aquarium solutions. In combination with powerful flow pumps, they enable natural flow conditions, stable water quality and clear visibility in the aquarium.
This creates permanently healthy living conditions for fish and corals, as well as a stable, balanced underwater world.
