Introduction
Foam filled fenders are essential components in the marine and industrial sectors. These fenders are designed to protect vessels, structures, and equipment from damage caused by impacts, collisions, and abrasion. They play a crucial role in safeguarding valuable assets and ensuring smooth operations in various environments.
What are Foam Filled Fenders?
Foam filled fenders are essentially energy - absorbing devices. They consist of a durable outer shell, which is usually made of materials like high - density polyethylene (HDPE), rubber, or a combination of both. Inside this shell, a special type of foam is inserted. The foam used is often a closed - cell foam, which has excellent buoyancy, shock - absorbing properties, and resistance to water, chemicals, and UV radiation.
Working Principle
When a vessel or object comes into contact with a foam filled fender, the fender compresses. The closed - cell foam inside the fender absorbs the kinetic energy of the impact. As the foam is compressed, it deforms, spreading the force of the impact over a larger area. This reduces the peak force exerted on the vessel or structure, minimizing the risk of damage. Once the impact is over, the foam returns to its original shape, ready to absorb the next impact.
LUHANG Structural Design
LUHANG can reflect unparalleled performance, mainly due to the fender Excellent Structural Design, Superior Original Material and World-Leading Production Technology.
01-Closed Cell Foam Core (100%)
Due to the molecular structure of Closed Cell (Isolation of Gas), so the foam core can maintain excellent elasticity which is the basis of foam fender performance. LUHANG utilizing only cross-linked, closed cell polyethylene
02-Cord reinforced Layer
LUHANG is constructed Continuous Tough and Thick Nylon Filament Reinforcement in Polyurethane skin which provides superior strength.
03-Outer SPUA Layer
High performance Polyurethane skin: Anti-acid, Alkali and salt corrosion, Anti-UV resistant, Non-marking which makes the LUHANG skin extremely durable to all types of weather, forces and marine conditions.
04-Central pipe
Heavy Duty Chain Connecting Swivel End Fitting Type (The internal chain guarantees maximum pull-through strength, even distribution of energy and stresses.) and Heavy Duty Internal Pipe Fixed End Fitting Type optional. All fittings are constructed of top-quality steel.
Application Scenarios
1. Docks and Ports: Serve to safeguard dock structures and mitigate impact when ships are berthing.
2. Ships: Placed on either side of the hull, they prevent collisions between ships and docks or among different ships.
3. Offshore Platforms: Used for the protection of offshore installations like oil drilling platforms and wind power platforms.
4. Inland Waterway Channels: Appropriate for inland docks, navigation locks, and other aquatic infrastructure.
