2*3m Marine Yokohama Type 50 Kpa Floating Inflatable Pneumatic Rubber Fender Material Natural Rubber, Rubber Dipped Tyre Cord Fabric

2*3m Marine Yokohama Type 50 Kpa Floating Inflatable Pneumatic Rubber Fender Material Natural Rubber, Rubber Dipped Tyre Cord Fabric

Rubber Marine Fender also called pneumatic fender, rubber fender, yokohama fender, made by rubber & multi layers of rubber-dipped tyre fabric, is a leading anti-collision device for marine application in the world today. Marine fenders have become an ideal ship protection medium against collision among ship-to-ship (STS), ship to quay (STQ) and ship-to-berthing (STB), they are widely used for large tankers, vessels, docks, harbor wharf and ocean platforms.

Safety Valve
Pneumatic Yokohama fenders of diameter 2500mm and larger sizes shall be equipped with a safety valve for releasing excess internal pressure when the fenders are over-compressed accidentally. Fender which is smaller than 2500mm in diameter can also be equipped with a safety valve if requested.

Product Description:

Material Advantages:

The main material is synthetic rubber (such as a blend of natural rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber), which has excellent elasticity and can efficiently absorb the energy of a ship impact.

The rubber material is resistant to seawater, ultraviolet radiation, and acid and alkali corrosion, making it suitable for harsh marine environments.

The internal structure uses high-strength nylon cord fabric as a reinforcing layer, improving tensile strength and tear resistance, and extending service life.

High energy absorption + low reaction force, dual protection: The energy absorption rate reaches 70%-90%, much higher than the 40%-60% of traditional protective planks; under the same impact force, the reaction force on the ship and the dock is only 1/3-1/5 of that of rigid protective planks, which can significantly reduce the risks of hull concave deformation, dock cracks, etc., especially suitable for high-value ships such as luxury cruise ships and LNG vessels.
Excellent elasticity, strong deformation recovery ability: It disperses impact energy through gas compression, can undergo significant deformation and quickly return to its original state, and its performance does not decrease when compressed at an angle, avoiding local stress concentration, and is suitable for the multi-directional swaying of ships caused by wind and waves.
Adjustable air pressure, wide adaptability: It can be adjusted to adapt to different tonnage, speed of ships and complex sea conditions (such as tidal changes), and even integrate pressure sensors and automatic inflation systems to improve berthing efficiency.
Deployment and operation advantages
Lightweight, easy installation and transportation: The weight is much lower than that of solid protective planks of the same size, and the volume is significantly reduced after deflation, which is convenient for transportation, storage and rapid deployment, suitable for temporary docks, offshore floating platforms and other scenarios, and can be modularly combined to cover longer shorelines.
Self-floating design, adaptable to water level changes: It can float on the water surface, automatically adjust its height with the tide, and does not need frequent adjustment of installation positions, suitable for ports with large tidal differences and ship-to-ship operations.

Manufacturing Process:

Raw material preparation: Rubber compounding (mixing rubber, reinforcing agents, antioxidants, etc. according to the formula), cord fabric cutting and pretreatment.

Molding process: Utilizing a winding process, the rubber layer and cord fabric are alternately wound to ensure a uniform and tight structure.

Vulcanization treatment: Vulcanization under high temperature and pressure ensures a strong bond between the rubber and the cord fabric, improving product stability and durability.

Assembly and inspection: Installing inflation valves, flanges, and other accessories; conducting airtightness tests, pressure tests, and visual inspections.

Features:

Lightweight, easy installation and transportation: The weight is much lower than that of solid protective planks of the same size, and the volume is significantly reduced after deflation, which is convenient for transportation, storage and rapid deployment, suitable for temporary docks, offshore floating platforms and other scenarios, and can be modularly combined to cover longer shorelines.
Self-floating design, adaptable to water level changes: It can float on the water surface, automatically adjust its height with the tide, and does not need frequent adjustment of installation positions, suitable for ports with large tidal differences and ship-to-ship operations.
Flexible installation, strong compatibility: It can float freely or be fixed with chains or shackles, no need for complex fixation devices, compatible with permanent and temporary mooring systems, and has high installation efficiency.
Economic and maintenance advantages
Long service life, low maintenance cost: The main body uses weather-resistant rubber such as butyl and chloroprene, resistant to seawater, salt fog and ultraviolet rays, with a service life of up to 10-20 years; daily maintenance only requires monitoring the air pressure and cleaning the surface, local damage can be patched repaired, no need for overall replacement, the annual maintenance cost is only 2%-3% of the purchase cost.
Low total cost of ownership: Although the initial purchase cost may be high, due to low maintenance costs and no need to frequently replace fillers, the long-term use cost can be reduced by more than 30%, and the lightweight design can reduce lifting and maintenance labor costs.
Environmental protection and safety advantages
Green and environmentally friendly, good sustainability: Modern products mostly use recyclable rubber or environmentally friendly polymer materials, without foam or other polluting fillers, in line with green port certification requirements, and can reduce the frictional detachment of ship anti-fouling paint and reduce water pollution.
Safe and reliable, risks controllable: The flexible buffer can avoid cable breakage, ship失控 problems, ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment； combined with protective nets (such as chains and tire nets CTN type), it can further enhance the puncture resistance and reduce the risk of damage.

Technical Parameters:

Applications:

Port terminals: Berth edge protection for container terminals, bulk cargo terminals, oil terminals, etc.

Shipping sector: Berthing buffer for ocean-going freighters, tankers, warships, etc., and collision protection between ships.

Offshore facilities: Perimeter protection for offshore platforms, buoys, drilling platforms, etc., to prevent collision damage when ships approach.

Other scenarios: Protection for temporary docks, offshore construction areas, and specialized protection for special vessels (such as LNG carriers).
