SMM PREVIEW
Tamrotor will be showing its compressor range.
Smart Air® frequency controlled marine
compressor will also be exhibited.
The TMC 240-365 series will replace the
previous ML range. It is slightly smaller than
the ML. However, the actual footprint, in
terms of installation/fastening points, is the
same. This means that users who have already
planned installation of an ML compressor in
the engine room can install the TMC 240-365
without having to change the specifications.
Also, for repeat users, the new TMC 240-
365 compressor can be delivered with a kit for
making all attachment points the same as for
the ML series.
All service points are accessible from one
side, which means that placement is flexible
not only in terms of height but also in terms of
horizontal space, as it is not necessary to be
able to access the compressor from more than
one side. All canopy walls can be removed.
At SMM 2008, Transas said that it will
continue to demonstrate its ability to provide
'total solutions' to the maritime industry.
To illustrate this approach, the stand will
feature the company's Integrated Navigation
System (INS), a solution for both Shipyards
and crew training. This high-quality,
navigation product is designed to provide
seafarers with significant advantages in on
board navigation, while an identical system
can be used as a training tool enabling a
simulated training environment to be as
realistic as possible.
The INS is based on the world's only DNV
type-approved INS Class C Hyundai-Transas
intelligent bridge system. Incorporating the
company's type-approved ECDIS, radar and
vector conning applications and having been
developed in close co-operation with seafarers
68
and shipyards, Transas INS focuses heavily on
user-friendly and intuitive functionality.
As part of a continued product development
programme, Transas is constantly expanding
its range of on board systems to incorporate
the increasing number of bridge functions and
sensors needed to the INS such as gyro, echo
sounder, autopilot, log and many others.
Transas will also be displaying The Transas
Full Mission Bridge Simulator operating as a
fully functioning training tool.
It has been developed in compliance with
the DNV requirements for INS/IBS training.
Westfalia Separator will be unveiling a
new generation of mineral oil Separators -
eagleclass.
Westfalia Separator Mineraloil Systems has
expanded the capacity range both up and
down, and has designed the separators to be
more compact, lighter, more energy-efficient
and with fewer wear parts.
A new sensor technology system further
minimises oil losses during de-sludging
operations. The smallest and largest separator
in this new series will be exhibited at SMM.
Transas will be exhibiting its Integrated Navigation System (INS).
Westfalia Separator Mineraloil Systems is
also extending its product line to include a
newly developed fresh water generator,
providing shipping companies and shipyards
with a further module for the engine room
from a single source
This is the SeaWater Distiller, which has a
capacity range of 10 to 30 tonnes per day. The
Visco booster unit with a newly designed
pump module is claimed to be more compact,
lighter and more easily accessible. The
module also takes up less space.
As from next year, Westfalia Separator will
market the BilgeMaster system with maximum
oil contents of 15 ppm in the bilge water for the
complete series; without additional adsorption
filter and without chemicals.
Sewage treatment will be a new addition to
the range of equipment offered by Westfalia
Separator Mineraloil Systems.
With a combination of a centrifuge for
separating coarse impurities, a buffer tank and
an ultrafiltration system for removing fine
impurities, Westfalia is developing a new
sewage treatment system which is to be
launched to coincide with the coming into
force of the new IMO guidelines.
This year, ZF Marine will display a variety
of transmissions, controllable pitch propellers
and electronic controls on the stand and also
outside, where a propulsion shaft-line, with
ZF W43100 gearbox and CPP, will be shown.
The new transmission ZF W17000,
available in reduction (NR) or reversereduction
versions, is designed for continuous
duty, commercial application with engine
powers up to 3,000 kW (4,000 hp) at 1,200
rev/min and a ratio range from about 2 to 4.5.
Several PTOs and PTIs are available as well
as a 'get home' device and either manual or
automatic trolling for slow-speed operation.
Another new transmission system, the ZF
9050, represents ZF Marine's 9000 series,
which is available in many different
configurations - parallel offset (vertical and
horizontal), down-angle and vee-drive. TO
