Aquaculture Equipment in Kenya: HDPE Fish Cages & Probes | Living Machines

Professional Equipment for Kenyan Aquaculture

Successful commercial fish farming depends on the quality and reliability of your equipment. For aquaculture operations in Kenya, particularly in demanding environments like Lake Victoria, using gear that is built to last is fundamental. Living Machines provides a complete suite of high-performance aquaculture equipment, including durable HDPE fish cages, custom mooring systems, and precise water quality monitoring tools. All our cages are proudly designed and manufactured in Kenya to meet the specific challenges of local conditions.

HDPE Fish Cages: Designed and Built in Kenya

We manufacture two distinct types of HDPE fish cages to suit different farm site conditions and operational scales. Both are engineered for strength, longevity, and practical use in commercial aquaculture.

AFRISQUARE Heavy Duty Cages (6m & 8m)

Our AFRISQUARE cages are built for performance and durability. The design features a heavy-duty, steel-reinforced corner system that provides exceptional structural integrity, making these cages ideal for withstanding rough conditions. The frame is constructed from 200mm HDPE pipes, securely connected with hot-dip galvanized steel stanchions and brackets.

These square cages are best suited for:

• Smaller or shallow-water farm sites.
• Use as nursery cages within larger aquaculture operations.
• Farms that require a strong, practical, and long-lasting cage system.

AFRICIRCLE Deep-Water Cages (10m - 20m Diameter)

Engineered for deep-water performance (8m+), our AFRICIRCLE cages are built for strength and stability in demanding offshore environments. The circular design is inherently strong and well-suited for larger, more exposed farm sites where durability is essential. These cages feature robust HDPE piping and galvanized steel stanchions to create a high-performance system.

Key features of the AFRICIRCLE cages include:

• Deep-Water Suitability: Designed specifically for sites with a water depth of 8 meters or more.
• Scalable Systems: Ideal for serious fish farmers looking to develop scalable, high-performance operations.
• Full Installation: We provide a complete installation service to ensure the cages meet your farm's needs.
• Custom Sizes: All cage diameter sizes are available on request to fit your specific requirements.

Custom Fish Cage Mooring Systems

A properly engineered mooring system is critical for the safety and stability of your fish cages. It holds the farm in position and protects your investment from currents and weather. We offer fully custom-made Afrimooring solutions tailored to the unique conditions of each offshore site.

Our mooring systems are designed to complement all our aquaculture equipment. We use only quality-rated lifting gear, including hot-dip galvanized metal components for corrosion resistance and UV-stabilized, load-rated polypropylene ropes for long-term strength. As part of our complete service package, we handle equipment supply, transport, installation, and ongoing maintenance to provide a dependable, end-to-end solution.

OxyGuard Water Quality Probes

Maintaining optimal water quality is non-negotiable for fish health and growth. We supply professional-grade, hand-held OxyGuard probes to allow for accurate and timely monitoring of key water parameters.

Hand-held Polaris C Dissolved Oxygen Meter

This meter provides accurate measurements of dissolved oxygen (ppm/mg/l), % saturation, and temperature, with compensation for salinity. Its key advantage is a memory function that can store up to 3000 complete data sets, which can be transferred to a PC via a USB cable. The meter is built for demanding field use and features a large, easy-to-read display.

Hand-held Polaris H04PP pH / Redox Meter

The Handy Polaris pH meter is a waterproof, pocket-sized instrument designed for wet environments. It provides reliable pH and Redox measurements without the common problems associated with moisture damage. The electrode and assembly are hermetically sealed, ensuring accurate readings. The device is easy to calibrate and operate, with a large, clear display.
