Winch Machine

Product Details:

Winches can be categorised by their control type (automatic or manual tensioning), drive type (steam, hydraulic or electric), by the number of drums associated with each drive, by the type of drums (split, undivided) and by their brake type and brake application (band, disc, mechanical screw, spring applied).

- Automatic tension mooring winch, self-tension winch – Winches designed to heave-in automatically whenever the line tension falls below a certain pre-set value. Likewise, they pay out if the line tension exceeds a pre-set value. The use of the self-tension winches is not recommended except for mooring deployed at 90° to the ship axis.

- Manual tension mooring winch  – Manual winch always requires a person to handle the controls for heaving or rendering.

- Non-split drum mooring winch  – The undivided drum winches are commonly found on smaller ships. It is often difficult to spool and stow the wire on such a drum satisfactorily; when wires are handled directly off the drum, the final turns of the outer layer when under tension tend to bite into the lower layer. This could result in possible wire damage and difficulties when releasing the line. To reduce this problem, the winch with non-split drum should be placed at a sufficient distance from the fairlead to ensure that the wire can be properly spooled.

- Split drum mooring winch  – A winch with a drum divided by a notched flange into a tension section and a line storage section.

Product Details:

From mining and oil/gas to construction and marine industries, air winches serve as the ideal solution for pulling and lifting heavy loads in hazardous or explosive environments. This is because these winches are powered by compressed air and don’t produce sparks or heat, which enhances overall safety on the worksite. Thern is pleased to offer various air winch series that are built tough to meet the demands of your specific applications.

An air winch is a pulling and lifting device powered by compressed air channeled into a pneumatic motor. In contrast, electric winches utilize electricity as a principal power source. Air winches have features and characteristics that provide distinct advantages. Key benefits include:

• Offering significant lifting force without consuming a lot of electricity
• Being utilized in many remote regions where three-phase electricity is not available
• Moving heavy goods efficiently and rapidly from one area to another
• Having a spark-resistant pneumatic motor for lifting, lowering, or placing items in harsh environments
