D1.6 M*L16m 6 Layers Boat Lift Air Bags Standard For Salvage And Docking

D1.6 m x L16m x 6layers Lift Air Bags For Salvage And Docking Sunken Boat

LUHANG marine rubber airbags are commonly used for projects in the heavy industry and marine shipbuilding sector.

Some of their most common uses are as follows:

• Launching of 250-ton to 10,000-ton ships or boats. Sometimes even more
• Launching of heavy large structures up to 10,000-tons
• Hauling out of large marine structures including ships for repairs or recycle
• Providing additional buoyancy for marine salvage projects or flotation needs (reducing draft of barges etc)
• Moving heavy structures on land (a suitable alternative to transporters)

The usage of marine airbags are especially common in the shipbuilding space. However, there has been a misconception in the product, as well as large differences in pricing available in the market. In fact, many of the suppliers claim they are providing xx amount of layers, xx amount of weight etc to justify that their product quality is the same as many of the trusted manufacturers’ products. The vast differences in prices manage to confuse many of these airbag buyers. So, what are the “promises” usually made that a buyer should be careful of?

Raw Materials

Ideally, airbags should be made of new rubber material that adheres to the following standards:

• ISO34-1 Tear Strength ≥400 N/cm
• ISO37 Tensile Strength ≥18 MPa, Elongation at Break ≥400%
• ISO1761-1 Hardness (Shore A) 60±10°
• ISO815-1 Compression Set
• ISO188 Requirements After Thermal Aging
• ISO1431-1 After Static Ozone Ageing

The keyword here is new.LUHANG NEVER uses recycled or reclaimed rubber material in airbag production. This is a huge red flag. Quality rubber makes the foundation of the whole “inflatable roller” idea, especially when it has to bear very high values of weight on top. Recycled and reclaimed rubber have substantially lower elasticity and has a very fast ageing rate which compromises the integrity of airbags. Use these recycled rubber airbags a couple of times and you will realise they burst very easily.

On the other hand, cords play a big role, too. These “two cords” are supposed to be two-strand cords with more than 205 N strength per cord. Some manufacturers, like LUHANG, procure and use a higher strength cord (above required standard) to ensure quality strength; but some other suppliers use two-strand cords with lower strength sometimes. There is also the difference with other cords like dacron cords etc. The difference in use of raw materials can have a cost difference of more than 65%!!

LUHANG Marine Rubber Airbag Structure

• Outer Rubber Layer

The outer rubber layer that covers the outside of marine airbag to protect under layers from abrasion and other external forces. This compound has sufficient tensile and tearing strength to withstand any condition and hard usage.

• Inner Rubber Layer

The inner rubber layer seals pressurized air inside marine airbags.

• Synthetic-Tire-Cord Layer as Reinforcement

The reinforcement cord layers, which are made of synthetic-tire-cord commonly used in tires, are arranged at ideal angles to hold the internal pressure and distribute stress evenly. So they can provide strong efficient reinforcement.

LUHANG Marine airbag production line

We buy raw material natural rubber(from Thailand,Vietnam,Yunnan), carbon black, SBR,etc.Then Mix them as the rates(which can make sure the performance of airbags and fenders),after machine mixing and calendering,then we can see the fabric rubber layer and rubber plate.Now the workers can use them to produce the airbags and fenders. After then,we send the products to the vulcanizer to finished vulcanization.Then we will inflate the products to check the air leakage.If no problem we will packing them to pallets,waiting to ship to u.

LUHANG Marine Rubber Airbags Advantages

• High precision engineering using 2 or 3 -strand cords with great tensile strength.
• Made from NEW industry leading quality rubber.
• Assurance of true number of layers.
• High-performance quality and above-industry-standard layer thickness.
• Quality detailing jobs, Ex: air valve length, ends’ extra layering, tighter connection with minimal failure etc. These areas are often neglected but extremely important to ensure your safety and maximise your return by prolonging useful life.
