Ship Launching Airbag

Ship Launching Airbag

Yutung’s factory is the inventor of first ship launching airbag, and sets the standard in the industry for high performance and usage technology. Now, ship launching airbag (Intense pneumatic tire) are widely used in ship launching and landing, sunken ships salvage and refloatation, heavy lifting and conveying. 

Ship launching or upgrading depending on ship launching airbag is an innovative technology having utmost bright prospect in shipbuilding. Now the Flexible Launching Technology is full of mobility, with advantages such as saving effort, saving time, saving work load, saving investment, flexible, safe, reliable, and outstanding benefit, etc. The technology of apply air gasbag to the launching and landing of ships overcomes the restrictions of traditional slide board technology which is commonly used in building small or medium size ships.

After years of practice and accumulation of experience, we have developed this technology from facilitating the ship launching of only 1,000 DWT ships to current 55,000 DWT ships. And now this technology has become into a flexible, promising, secure and mature technology. Besides that, these ship launching airbag is widely used in upgrading of ships and boats of all sizes.  

Construction Features: 

Ship launching airbag, basic body consists of which consist of our rubber layers, synthetic-cord-reinforced rubber layers, are kind of a cylindrical airbags with hemispherical heads at the both ends. All of these are vulcanized together, and then compress air inside to enable in to roll.

1.Outer Rubber

The outer rubber layer of the ship launching airbag(ship airbag fender) that covers the outside of launching airbags protects the cord layers 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. 

2.Synthetic-tyre-cord layer for reinforcement

The reinforcement cord 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.

3.End Fittings

End fittings of the ship launching airbag(ship airbag fender) include air tightness swivel and airbags safety air inlet.
