Markets
Marine
The marine sector includes off-shore applications (out at sea, at a distance from dry land). It is a many-faceted market, ranging from the shipping sector, for transporting people (cruise liners, yachts and megayachts) or goods tofishing craft and other related vessels (trawlers and tugs), through to exploration and drilling vessels and those which lay materials on the seabed (pipeline-laying vessels, off-shore drilling rigs, cable-laying vessels, etc.).
The often unfavourable weather conditions in which these applications operate - rain, damp, presence of salt, heat and ice - mean that metals oxidise fast, causing the brake to malfunction.
The COREMO OFFERING comprises:
- Oil- and spring-applied hydraulic brakes with braking force up to 270,000[N] to deal with heavy loads and high forces normally required.
- Air- and spring-applied pneumatic caliper brakes.
- A carefully chosen range of hydraulic power packs for brake powering and control.
- Spheroidal or grey cast iron discs as well as stainless or stain-steel discs.
- A vast range of couplings complete with disc.
- Anti-corrosion surface treatments such as coatings, treatments and the use of special materials.
- Use of special steels resistant down to temperatures of - 40 °C.
- Technical support for customers, who often need special assistance during the development of individual design in order to meet specific requirements.
