Pneumatic Rubber Fender Introduction
The pneumatic rubber fender uses compressed air as the buffer
medium, which makes the ship have better anti-collision effect when
it is near the ship or dock.
The fender can be divided into the version with sheath and the
version without sheath according to the pictures. The sheath of the
pneumatic rubber fender is generally made of truck tires. For
customers with special requirements, we can also use aircraft
tires. The sheath acts as a second layer of protection to better
protect the sphere. It also effectively reduces the impact force
caused by the collision.
Fender Structure
1 Outer rubber
The outer rubber layers that covers the outside of fender protects
the cord layers and the inner rubber from abrasion and other
external forces. This compound has sufficient tensile and tear
strength to withstand any weather condition and hard usage.
Standard color is black, but other colors are available on request.
2 Inner rubber
The liner of a rubber membrane seals the pressurized air inside the
fenders.
3 Synthetic tire cord layers for reinforcement
The reinforcement layers, which are made of synthetic tire cord
commonly used in tires, are arranged at ideal angles to hold the
internal pressure and to distribute the stress evenly providing
strong efficient reinforcement.
4 Beading ring
A steel ring is placed at one end (or both ends) of the fender and
holds the end of cord layers.
5 Flange
A steel flange is mounted on the fender, to which an air valve or
safety valve can be adapted.
6 Safety valve
Fenders of diameter 2500mm and larger shall be equipped with safety
valve for releasing excess internal pressure when the fenders are
over-compressed accidentally. Fender which are smaller than 2500mm
in diameter, can be equipped with a safety valve if required.
7 Metal accessories
All the relevant metal accessories of pneumatic fenders, include
shackles, towing rings, swivels, chain net, are made of stainless
steel, which are resistant for sea water corrosion.

Pneumatic Rubber Fender Application
The are two typical installation type: ship to ship operation and
ship to dock operation.
a. ship to ship operation
Generally speaking, two contact points are enough for the light
duty ship to ship operation. But 1 or 2 extra pneumatic rubber
fender should be used as the primary fender to absorb the berthing
energy for the heavy duty ship to ship operation, and keep proper
stand-off distance between two ships. Meanwhile, two or more
small-size fenders can be hung on the ship hull as the secondary
fender.
b. ship to dock operation
Pneumatic fenders are often used for the ship to quay operation
because of its excellent performance. The pneumatic fenders are
anchored with quay by the guy chain and shackles. Meanwhile, the
pneumatic fender can be floated on the water surface depend on the
change of tide
Pneumatic Rubber Fender Transportation
Transportation We can take the deflation pallet transportation and
the entire fender transportation without deflation according to the
requirements of customers. We always put the customer's
requirements first.
Pneumatic Rubber Fender storage
1. When the Pneumatic rubber fender is not used for a long time, it
should be washed and dried, filled with appropriate compressed air,
placed in a dry, cool, ventilated place.Inventory temperature is
maintained at -15 ℃ -40 ℃ .
2 .The place where the fender is stored should be kept away from
the heat source.
3 .Fenders shall not be in contact with acids, alkalis, greases and
organic solvents.
4 .When the fenders are not in use, they must not be stacked and
should not be stacked on the ba. In order to better extend the
service life of pneumatic rubber fenders, it is recommended that
you store them in strict accordance with the above recommendations.
After-sale service
The product warranty period of Henger is 24 months, and the average
supplier can not reach such a long time, which is also the trust we
and customers have in our factory products.
