Anchor winches for trawl fishing on Lake Constance

Branche: Fishery, Shipbuilding

As part of an ecological project to maintain the natural balance of Lake Constance, DROMEC is supporting the Bavarian State Institute for Agriculture. By supplying powerful anchor winches, the project aims to explore whether the stickleback population in the lake can be reduced through trawl fishing.

Electric anchor winches

DROMEC has delivered two ECA-500-KB electric anchor winches to the Bavarian State Institute for Agriculture. These winches were installed directly on the decks of fishing vessels and have already been successfully put into operation. With a maximum lifting capacity of 500 kg on the 5th layer and an impressive holding force of 3,500 kg on the 1st layer, these winches meet the highest performance and safety standards. The drum holds up to 150 meters of steel cable with a 6 mm diameter, which can be precisely wound and unwound at a speed of approximately 15 meters per minute.

Innovative project

These winches are being used in an innovative project to restore the natural balance of Lake Constance. The goal is to test whether the stickleback population—a fish species whose overpopulation negatively impacts the lake’s ecosystem—can be regulated through targeted trawl fishing.

“We would like to thank the Bavarian State Institute for Agriculture for their trust, and we are delighted that our technology can contribute to sustainable fishing and the protection of Lake Constance’s ecosystem,” says Bertine Stuut, DROMEC’s contact person for the D-A-CH region.
