Anti-Heeling – optimized cargo handling
The Anti Heeling System enables optimized & continuous loading or unloading for container vessels or similar ships in
a much reduced time. Normally, the heeling compensation is automatically achieved by continual measurement of the heeling angle. However, when unloading under tough conditions such as off an offshore supply vessel, the heeling system has to be manually operated. Under those conditions a reliable and fast responding system is of high importance. Today Colfax offers an anti-heeling pump ALLTRIMM® with enhanced capacity as a part of the solution for the application.
This in-line propeller pump contains reversible hydraulics. Its electric motor with enhanced power is integrated into the pump lobe and is designed by standard parts from a German manufacturer. As a result, the pump requires neither a costly valve controller nor a coupling and a transmission.
ALLTRIMM® is available in a single or a twin-stage version with a flow range of 300 to 1200m3/hour and a pump head of 10 meters (single stage) to 20 meters (twin stage; as shown in the picture). Two motor sizes cover the above-mentioned performance range. The sectional drawing depicts the twin-stage version. For more information please click here
