Motorized Cable Reels Cavotec Specimas motorised cable reels form the most important range supplied by the Cavotec Group to the ports and maritime industry. Motorised cable reels are usually divided into applications for horizontal and vertical reeling and for each application a distinction is made between intermittent duty Cavotec Specimas has established its reputation in this market segment by supplying systems that are innovative, robust and compact with a specialised engineering staff to provide support where needed. For intermittent duty applications Cavotec normally recommends the...

Cavotec motorized cable reels are at work around the world, in many diverse applications. This unique patented system provides a simple and rational solution for many cable and hose reel applications. The system is based on a torque unit in which reduction gear, clutch and brake are built into one closed unit. Furthermore, thanks to the clutch acting directly on the main drum shaft, an even torque output is guaranteed. This allows an even recovery of any type of cable ndependent of clutch slip or reeling speed. Another major advantage is that the torque can easily be re-adjusted on site,...

Automated Mooring Systems Several MoorMaster automated mooring systems have been adopted by important shipping and port companies, including well-known operators such as Patrick Shipping in Australia, Port of Salalah in Oman Since their commissioning these MoorMaster systems have performed over 12,000 automatic mooring operations without ropes mooring teams. The MoorMaster system has captured all traditional mooring lines but instead of a rope, the units use vacuum pads to provide the mooring attachment. Each pad has a measurable working load powerful physical attachment between ship and...

Power Connectors The Cavotec power connectors, manufactured in Sweden, have been present in the field of industrial power supply for more than 20 years starting in the harsh mines and hydro-electric tunnels. Today the high quality, strength and integral safety of the Cavotec connectors have set the standard concerning low and high voltage power supply to many different types of equipment. Not only in mining and tunnelling, but also in hundreds of ports and maritime applications around the world. Cavotec mainly supplies low and high voltage connectors but also special types such as reefer...

In order to supply a comprehensive selection of high quality cables specially adapted to working environments found in ports and maritime applications, the Cavotec Group decided to select specialised manufacturing partners enabling Cavotec to guarantee the very highest level of productivity and Among the specialised cable manufacturing partners represented by the Group, we can mention such companies as Baude, Gore, Prysmian, All the cables offered by the Cavotec Group are divided In low and medium voltage. Low voltage cables are further divided Into power or control cables as each single...

Sirice the early 1990's Cavotec development of a revolutionary ship propulsion system. This system uses "an outboard electric motor" instead of the traditional "on line shaft inboard diesel powered propulsion". To obtain the required 360 degrees designed with a special slipring unit, Cavotec Specimas. The slipring is able data-control through optical fibers or conventional rings and a special hydraulic steering unit. The reliability of the system is vital and the 24 hour service availability is part of Cavotec's commitment to serve the over 100 Marine Propulsion Sliprings (MPS) installed...

The environment in ports all over the world is becoming more and more an issue. During the last 15 years increasing attention has been paid to reducing pollution coming from the diesel engines of ships which traffic, in ever increasing numbers, ports and terminals around The Cavotec Group, by using its experience and components widely applied in various industrial approach to supplying power to ships without creating any pollution. This system is called Alternative Maritime Power Supply. This new AMP system can be ship- based, shore-based or mounted on a floating platform. It consists of a...

Panzerbelt is a patented system developed by Cavotec Specimas in efficient protection to power cables against damage and other problems caused by the increasing cross traffic Panzerbelt withstands traffic of all vehicles normally used in ports without permanent deformation. It prevents ingress of debris and water from entering into the channel and gives the highest degree of cable protection without the need of maintenance. The more than 450 installations at work today (2006) around the world, prove that the system is the right solution. Panzerbelt is a cable protection system ncorporatlng...
