Hose crimping system has a place in history
Staff at the National Coal Mining Museum for England use the portable KarryKrimp hose crimping system to repair broken machinery quickly and simply.
Like all big Dutch beamers, the vessel features a closed stern which offers more space, less noise and improved crew safety, which is further enhanced by the innovative design of the superstructure.
A Sempress PLC-based MicroSem 1E remote electropneumatic system controls the vessel's main 2000 hp Deutz diesel engine, which drives a fixed pitch 3.4 metre diameter four blade propeller through a reversing reduction gearbox.
Parker Sempress pneumatic components also control the trawler's ten drum fishing winch and, in addition, the company's electronic tank level gauging system is used to monitor the vessel's fuel, oil and drinking water tanks.
Parker engineers have also been responsible for the on-board installation of the systems.
The Branding IV has been designed and constructed in accordance with the Netherlands Shipping Inspectorate's requirements and fully complies with safety regulations in force for fishing in the Navigation Area II. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin ...
