Fishing for Consumption

Thyborøn Trawlbinderi delivers the entire range of trawls for fishing for consumption from 100-2000 HP. Our products are used by fishermen within consumption fishing who use one trawl and by fishermen within special fisheries who need 2 - 12 trawls. 

All trawls are designed individually based on the customer’s requirements and using the latest computer programs, which calculate all important information on how the trawl will behave behind the customer’s own vessel for the relevant type of fishing.

Design and drawings are produced by means of the CADTRAWL tool and the DynamiT calculation program. This enables the customer to see if the trawl fulfils the expectations regarding:

• Trawl mouth
• Trawl door
• Towing resistance
• Size and type of doors
• Length of bridles and wires
• Towing speed

The program illustrates the trawl viewed from the front, from the side and from above. It is also possible to zoom in on a detail of interest. The net designer can read the load in any mesh and find the vertical and horizontal mouth of the trawl. 

Finally, the durability of the trawl is calculated to make sure it is compatible with the towing capacity of the vessel. 

The computer programs allow us to test several alternative solutions before the trawl is put into production. The calculations are so precise that it is not necessary to test the trawl in a test tank.
