CFE500 Controlled Flow Excavator
Hybrid subsea excavation system with 45° tilt frame for cable burial and seabed excavation, rated 5–300 m standard.
Description
The CFE500 is a purpose-built hybrid subsea controlled flow excavation system. Its configurable tilt frame housing allows the base unit to be tilted up to 45° from vertical, extending the reach of the exit flow toward specific targets and helping stability in high currents. Pharos operates two CFEs.
