Structure characteristics of the pneumatic rubber fender

Sami Pneumatic Rubber Fenders made of an outer rubber, reinforcement synthetic-tyre-cord layer, and inner rubber, vulcanized

firmly.

A. the outer rubbers are used to protect the cord layers and inner rubber from abrasion and other external forces. 

B. the reinforcement synthetic-tyre-cord layer strong enough to maintain the internal air pressure of the fender.

C. the inner rubber layer seals the pressurized air inside the fender.

D. fenders of diameter 2500mm and larger equipped with safety valve for releasing excess internal pressure when the fenders are over-compressed accidentally. Fender assembly for the end of metal, by inside and outside the two flanges with bolts, nut clamping, center is a valve, its structure is similar to automobile tire valve.

The purpose of the pneumatic rubber fender

1ship to ship berthing

Accompanied by a large ship, the risk of two ship berthing at sea is also increased, especially when the weather changes,

accompanied by wind and waves.Adopt pneumatic fender as side of the buffer, not only make heavy berthing becomes easy, and improve the efficiency of the transportation operations. Pneumatic fender is mainly used for: Ice in the Antarctic ocean fishing ships, large oil tanker berthing.

2 Used for terminal dock protection

Of the ship is very large, the cause of berthing impact energy have multiplied.Inflatable rubber fender because of its high energy absorption and low reaction force features are widely used.

Maintenance and safety knowledge

1 Internal pressure adjustment

Fender pressure should be kept in the standard air pressure in the± 5% range, and once every three months to check air pressure,

deflated or fill gas up to standard in a timely manner.

2 safety knowledge

 a.  Avoid touching the sharp things

 b.  when Long time not use, should wash to dry, filled with right amount of compressed air, placed in a cool dry ventilated place.

c.  Storage place away from heat, acid and alkali, oil and grease
