Introduction of floating pneumatic fender
Floating pneumatic fenders have been used for around 50 years.It is the leading anti-collision device for ship use in the world. The compressed air filled rubber fender is used as a protective medium for ship-to-ship, ship to quay and ship-to -berthing operation.
Floating pneumatic fenders can be delivered in different sizes. It has chain and tyre net(CTN) type which is usually recommend to protect the fender body, but sling type or body only is also available.
Structure of floating pneumatic fender
Floating pneumatic fender consists of an outer rubber, reinforcement synthetic-tyre-cord layer, and inner rubber, vulcanized together firmly.
1. The outer rubbers are used to protect the cord layers and inner rubber from abrasion
2. The reinforcement synthetic-tyre-cord layer strong enough to maintain the internal air pressure.
3. The inner rubber layer seals air inside the fender.
4. Fenders diameter larger than 2500mm will be equipped with safety valve.
