Biostream BP60 (6″) Fish Pump

Q: How many fish will the BP60 move in an hour?

Up to 16 tonnes per hour through its 6″ (150 mm) bore, though the rate you actually achieve depends on species, fish size, pipe run and head.

Q: What size fish will it pass?

The BP60 is rated to a maximum average fish size of 600 g.

Q: How high can it lift?

Up to 9 m of pumping head on the standard 5 hp BP60, 11 m on the 7.5 hp BP60-S, or 14 m on the 10 hp BP60-SS.

Q: How do I choose between the BP60 and the sizes either side of it?

Compare bore, fish size and tonnage together — the BP40 is 4″ bore, 300 g fish and 8 t/hr, the BP60 is 6″ bore, 600 g fish and 16 t/hr, and the BP80 is 8″ bore, 1.5 kg fish and 24 t/hr.

Q: What jobs is the BP60 used for?

Bathing, delousing, transferring, grading and harvesting across RAS, live holding and live transport work.

Q: How much water and air does the pump need?

Water and air demand figures are not published for the BP60, so ask Fresh By Design to confirm the service requirements for your layout before you design the services.

Q: How do I get a price?

Request a quote with the tonnage you need to move per hour, your maximum average fish size and the vertical head from water level to discharge, and we’ll confirm the right BP model and lead time.
