Steute:
New extreme foot controls for offshore, ship and port technology
2014, Nov 04 + + + As a manufacturer of
switchgear for extreme and complex applications, steute provides customers
with its own range of offshore products especially
developed for use in
offshore, ship and port technology. Features of our devices include
saltwater resistance, a robust construction, the necessary approvals and -
where appropriate - Ex versions.Product photo: Extreme-foot switch for
mooring-systems
This product portfolio contains for example the
offshore version of our GFSI foot control (fig.). The metal housing of
this switching device is extraordinarily robust. A protective guard
prevents accidental actuation, while various switching inserts mean that
the switch can be adapted to individual applications. The housing, made of
saltwater-resistant aluminium with stainless steel screws and mounted
parts, is designed for reliable operation at sea and/or in ports. In their
Ex-protected version, these foot controls can be used in gas-Ex zones 1
and 2, as well as dust-Ex zones 21 and 22.
A typical application
for this product is the electromechanical actuation of winches controlling
docking lines in ports, as well as the releasing of mooring hooks. A winch
reeling in the docking line can be started and stopped using one foot
control; with a second foot control, the mooring hook attached to the
anchor chain can be released - either to put the ship out to sea or
because the chain needs to be freed quickly in a storm.
The use of
highly robust foot controls, tried and tested in extreme applications,
guarantees absolutely reliable operation of mooring hooks in such an
application. As an alternative, wireless foot controls using radio
technology, also tried and tested in many other extreme applications, are
additionally available. This comparatively new technology means greater
flexibility when positioning the switchgear. And it eliminates the risk of
power and signal cables becoming damaged in the rough environment of a
port.
