Qingdao Luhang is a top-notch shipping equipment manufacturer in China. It was formerly a military enterprise in the country. With its mature production lines and high-quality products, it has gained the favor of many customers around the world. Foam fenders are one of the main products offered by our company. The foam fenders produced by Luhang feature high energy absorption and low reaction force. The outer polyurea coating also provides excellent protection.
Common Applications of Pneumatic Rubber Ship Fenders
In ports, foam fenders are essential protective equipment. They can remarkably reduce the impact force on dock structures when ships are docking. Large freighters and small boats may cause collisions of varying degrees to the dock during docking. The foam fender can play a cushioning role to safeguard the safety of dock facilities and extend the service life of the dock.
For ships, foam fenders provide buffer protection between ships or between ships and other obstacles. During docking, mooring or towing, they reduce collision damage and protect the ship's hull structure. Additionally, they can reduce ship shaking amplitude in wind and waves, improving stability and safety. In ocean engineering, foam fenders can be used as buoys and collision prevention facilities. For example, around offshore oil platforms, they prevent collisions and protect platform safety. In submarine pipeline laying projects, they also protect pipelines from external damage.
Foam Filled Fender Construction:
Luhang Foam Filled Fender is a kind of constructive fender with polyurea material as its outer protective layer and EVA foam core forming the resillient inner part. The Luhang Foam Filled Fenders are constructed of 3 parts, each providing an important function in the construction and lifespan of the fender. The 3 parts are (1) the closed cell EVA foam (2) the outer rubber+nylon cord fabric (3) polyurea spraying coat
The Features of Luhang Foam Filled Fender:
| 1. High energy absorption with relatively low reaction force. Compared with the typical pneumatic rubber fender, the same sized Foam Filled Fenders absorb up to 40% more energy. |
| 2. Foam Filled Fenders can be used in any tough conditions to provide tough, heavy-duty protection for ship-to-ship, ship-to-dock, ship berthing and mooring applications. |
| 3. Easy to maintenance. As the internal construction consists of a solid heat laminated foam core, there is no need to maintain air pressure, inflation, or relief valves as with the pneumatic rubber fenders. |
| 4. Remains fully functional even if skin is punctured; |
| 5. Easy installation; |
