IRM DPN series Pneumatic Fenders are manufactured as per ISO 17357 with 0.5 kg/cm² and 0.8 kg/cm² internal pressure (other internal pressures are available on request). These Fenders are extensively used for ship-to-ship transfers at mid-sea, double banking operations, as well as vessel-to-berth transfers at dock/jetty. IRM DPN Pneumatic Fenders offer excellent energy absorption characteristics and have a Linear load-deflection characteristic.
The special property of IRM Pneumatic Fenders makes it suitable for Liquid cargo Vessels (VLCC/VLGC/FPSO/FSRU) and Defence and Navy Vessels with very sensitive equipment. They are very easy to install, remove, and handle for various applications. These Fenders are generally equipped with Chain Tyre Nets with either Lorry tyres or Aircraft Tyres or with Wire Rope Nets, End Rings, Towing Rings, and Swivel Joints with suitable D-Shackles at both ends for a better life. Sling-type Fenders are also available on specific requests. These Fenders offer excellent resistance to shear force, inclined compression and are highly reliable.
The carefully crafted high abrasion-resistant external layer prevents atmospheric ageing, and nylon tyre cord layers ensure high mechanical strength under heavy compression. Internal rubber layers ensure a positive seal to maintain the desired internal pressure. The latest moulding technology, a combination of heat, pressure, and accurate process parameters, makes our pneumatic fenders extremely reliable and ensures a trouble-free long life. These Fenders are also supplied in grey colour for non-staining / Naval applications.
