Pneumatic Marine Fender for Ships and Shore Facilities

What is Pneumatic Marine Fender?

Pneumatic Rubber Ship Fender is made of synthetic-cord-reinforced rubber sheets and contains compressed air to float on the water surface and act as a shock absorber between two ships or between ships and berthing structures when they come alongside each other. Pneumatic Rubber Ship Fender is a leading marine anti-collision device in the world today. Pneumatic Fender has become an ideal ship protection medium widely used by large tankers, LPG vessels, ocean platforms, large docks, harbors, and wharfs.

Common Applications of Pneumatic Rubber Ship Fenders:

a. Tankers, Gas Carries and Bulk Cargo Ships;

b. Fast ferries and aluminum hulled vessels;

c. Temporary of permanent installations;

d. Rapid response and emergency fendering;

e. As stand-off fenders to realign ships with shore facilities.

Structure characteristics of the pneumatic rubber fender

LuHang Pneumatic Rubber Fenders consist of an outer rubber layer, a reinforcement synthetic-tyre-cord layer, and an inner rubber layer, firmly vulcanized.

A. Outer rubber protects cord layers and inner rubber from abrasion and external forces. The rubber compound has sufficient tensile and tear resistance for weather and heavy use.

B. The cord layer is strong enough to maintain fender's internal air pressure.

C. Inner rubber seals pressurized air inside.

D. Fenders 2500mm and larger have a safety valve for excess pressure release if over-compressed.

Metal end fender assembly is clamped by inner and outer flanges with bolts and nuts. Center is a valve like an automobile tire valve.

The Chain Tire Net is equipment to protect the fender body. The tires are mostly used truck tires. But for jumbo fenders, Aircraft tires are used for a better protection:

The advantages of LuHang pneumatic rubber fender

A. Choose reinforce synthetic-tire-cord layers

B. No mold vulcanization and attach surrounding molding process

C. High energy absorption and low reaction force

D. Good adaptability to tilt in contact

E. Floating on the surface of the water, ship swaying can apply
