SOPSC-1.5-6 Water Wheel Aerator for Freshwater Seawater Aquaculture

A Water Wheel Aerator, also widely known as a paddlewheel aerator, is a specialized mechanical water treatment device purpose-built to raise dissolved oxygen levels in water bodies and improve overall water circulation, and it stands as one of the most widely adopted aeration equipment in global aquaculture and small-to-medium water environment management scenarios.

Product introduction

Its working principle relies on the high-speed rotation of paddle-shaped blades fixed on a floating wheel assembly: the motor drives the water wheel to spin at a controlled speed, the partially submerged blades continuously churn the water surface, lifting large volumes of water droplets and fine water mist high into the air, which drastically expands the contact area between water and atmospheric oxygen to accelerate oxygen dissolution. Meanwhile, the rotating blades create a consistent directional water flow that breaks thermal and dissolved oxygen stratification in the pond, pushing oxygen-rich surface water to all corners of the water body and lifting low-oxygen bottom water up to the surface for re-aeration, forming a full, continuous water circulation loop. Jiangxi Sop Industrial Co., Ltd. is professional aerator's supplier in China with more than 20 years production and sales experience, we can offer 7 days fast shipping services. We have established partnerships with 5000+ customers from all over the world.

Application

This type of aerator is most commonly applied in commercial aquaculture, especially for shallow-water ponds farming high-value species like whiteleg shrimp, eels and freshwater prawns, where its strong mid-to-upper water capability maintains a uniform dissolved oxygen distribution that supports healthy aquatic animal growth. It is also widely used in small-scale wastewater treatment systems, ornamental lake and pond water quality maintenance, and rural aquaculture pond oxygenation to prevent low-oxygen fish and shrimp suffocation risks during hot weather.
