Have you ever heard of a pneumatic fender? It may sound fancy, but it is actually a very important tool that helps protect a ship. Today, we will learn what are pneumatic rubber fenders, their importance for a ship like Zjstar, as well as how these products work to ensure the safety of all when out on sea.
So first of all what exactly is a pneumatic rubber fender? Think of a large inflatable rubber ball. Pneumatic rubber fender—this is how it looks! These gigantic rubber balls are attached to the sides of ships. But why do they need them? Bumping into things can happen when a ship is at a dock or next to other boats. All of which can lead to all sorts of issues from hairline scratches to large gaps. These fenders are inflatable; when placed between the ship and the object it is approaching (another ship or the dock), they cushion and absorb the energy of a collision.
So, how are these fenders actually helping ships stay safe? Instead it's a soft material that will stretch a bit. This means that if a ship hits something, the fender can take up the impact of that hit. The contained air inside the fender acts like a pillow and helps to distribute the pressure from the impact. Due to the presence of these pneumatic rubber fenders, ships safely come in and out of ports without the probability of damaging the vessel. They make it easier for everyone making the journey.
Just like we go in, and wear different shoe sizes to fit our foots, pneumatic rubber fenders, also comes in completely different sizes! Selecting the right ship fender size is critical. If the fender is small, it will not protect the ship correctly. If the fender is too large on the other hand, it can be difficult to handle and may not work well enough. Zjstar understands the necessity of getting the size just right, so that their ships receive the best possible coverage from the fender. They spend time measuring and determining which fender will work best on each of their vessels.
Look At The Fender Regularly: Extremely important, check the fenders for any damage frequently. Check for cracks, leaks or bumps that shouldn’t be there. Detecting a potential problem early can avoid much trouble down the road.
Through these simple acts, Zjstar can maintain their fenders in great condition for several years. With some proper care, you can prolong the life of the fender and improve its finctionality.
Fender design has also improved over the years. And new production methods and attachment systems have made them easier to use. Zjstar also stays up to date with the latest technology and advancements to ensure they are installing the most effective and safest fenders for their vessels. They realise that keeping abreast of any changes can make a difference when it comes to protecting their vessels and crew.
