Exhibitors’ Previews Exhibitors’ Previews ant is fungicidally equipped, has a high UV stability and is therefore extremely weather-resistant. The product does not contain solvents, phthalates and tin catalysts. It is compatible with non-ferrous metals such as bronze, copper and brass and adheres to all common materials used in the marine sector. Overcoating with most 1 and 2-component paints is possible without any problems, says Sika. Hall B5, booth 519 The Switch The product range of The Switch includes machine and drive packages as well as megawatt-class power drives up to 5.5 MW. With this portfolio the company offers all types of vessels the opportunity to boost energy efficient. The marine technology with permanent magnet applications could help vessels become more efficient by slashing operating costs. According to The Switch currently hundreds of ships are sailing around the world with these rugged drives, making them attractive to customers who want to reduce risk while upgrading to more advanced drive train solutions and hybrid systems. With an installed base of over 13 GW, the drive trains would make an impact by lowering the cost of energy and operations. Hall B1.OG booth 309 Twin Disc For its 100 th anniversary, Twin Disc International, a clutch and gear manufacturer from Belgium, launches a complete new range of slipping clutches (MCD) for marine applications such as tugs, double ended ferries, OSV’s or any other type of vessels propelled by azimuth thrusters this year. According to the company, the products particularly suit vessels requiring either fine maneuvering, dynamic positioning or main propulsion power dividing capabilities (Fi-Fi Operations). The new 2000, 4000 and 5000 series replace the previous MCD 1000 and 3000 series. Capitalizing on 30 years plus of experience, and well over 1,000 units in operation worldwide, the new MCD series offer higher power ratings allowing the use with medium speed as well as high speed diesel engines, an optimized modern design leading to both, product cost reduction and lower overall cost of ownership the Belgian gear manufacturers say. A high torque capacity Pto completes the Twin Disc MCD new offering. The new MCD series also benefits from Twin Disc’s enhanced electronic control developments. It is fully compliant with all major marine classification societies and comes with either a type approval or a unit certification, matching with the most demanding class notations, the company informs.

Hall A1, booth 518 Vega Grieshaber With Vegadif 85, a transmitter for differential pressure developed for safety, Vega supplies a new module for control and monitoring of industrial processes. In addition to functional safety, its strengths lie in the option of measuring differential and static pressure simultaneously with just one device, the company announced. In a compact single chamber housing, the transmitter is designed for low space requirements and economic efficiency. These features are flanked by particularly simple, intelligent operation: a plus also in terms of error safety. The electronics used in Vegadif 85 are intrinsically safe and pressure-proof encapsulated according to ATEX, IECEx and CSA. This means that the transmitters can be safely parameterized at any time, even during operation in hazardous areas. Bluetooth is also available as an option for the new generation of differential pressure transmitters. Bluetooth is also suitable for older systems: The current indicating and adjustment module Pliscom is downward compatible for the majority of Vega measuring instruments already in the field from model year 2002. Hall B6, booth 101 Wiska Hoppmann At SMM, Wiska Hoppmann (Wiska) will present an expanded range of VARITAIN reefer container sockets that meet individual requirements on board. In addition to an optional external power connection, the manufacturer is now showing a multiple container socket outlet that allows a higher number of sockets to be placed on the same surface. In addition, ideas for product intelligence via digital and decentralized power consumption recording will also be presented for the first time. Wiska is also continuously expanding its product portfolio of video surveillance and presents its innovations of explosionproof and IP cameras – as fixed, PTZ or dome variants. In addition, all CCTV cameras, whether plastic or stainless steel, can be equipped with individual options for night vision functions. The comprehensive Wiska lighting range also consists of in-house developments, from the LED multipurpose luminaire 4000 via the LED spotlight 5000, both made of special plastics, to the Ex- LED luminaire 4200. The range of cable entries and junction boxes, which has also been considerably expanded, covers a large part of the electrical installation on board.
