Product Profile of Pneumatic Fender with High Energy Absorption Capacity

Pneumatic Fender with High Energy Absorption Capacity uses the elasticity of the compressed air. The properties of compressed air remains constant throughout the working life of the Fender, giving consistent values of energy absorption and reaction forces. Hi-Tech Elastomers Ltd. Is the supplier of Pneumatic Fender with High Energy Absorption Capacity.

Hi-Tech Elastomers Ltd. Manufactures a wide range of marine rubber and engineering products. Unlike the conventional fender, this Pneumatic Fender with High Energy Absorption Capacity is capable of absorbing a greater amount of kinetic energy and causes its distribution over the surface of the Fender, thus exerting a very low surface pressure & thereby producing a lesser and a gradual reaction. This provides a longer working life for the Fender.

Pneumatic Fender with High Energy Absorption is widely used for ship-to-ship operations. The Applications include:

• Tanker lightering and other transfer operations, such as coal, ore, or grain.

• Bunkering operations and Naval Applications.

• Crane-Ships, Drill-Ships and Pipe-laying vessels.

• Lay-up of vessels [side by side mooring].

• Due to buoyancy & light weight these fenders are very easy to install and handle even during the high tidal ranges of the jetty and thus proves cost-effective in Jetty construction.

• Very efficient in taking up oblique loads and in resisting shearing forces during inclined berthing. This is achieved even without any additional Factor Safety in designing.

• The unique feature of this fender type is the Safety Valve, which provides a check to the maximum level of pressure that the fender can withstand, and hence is more secured in case of subjection to excess loads.

• Pneumatic Fenders due to their inherent property of High Energy Absorption coupled with Lower Reaction Forces allows an economical design for constructing the Jetty.

• The floating tendency of the Pneumatic Fender, provides a phenomenal advantage over the other kinds, as these fenders can be put for mid-sea ship-to-ship cargo transfer. This proves a boon where ports lack facilities of large jetties for berthing large of additional Vessels.
