Maritime Reporter, August 1984

<BODY> <div> MARITIME REPORTER'S editors asked exhibitors to tell us about the products and services they would be exhibiting at the Inter- national Inland Waterways Show in September. The following is based on replies received at press time. FOR MORE INFORMATION If you wish to receive additional information from any of the fol- lowing exhibitors, circle the corre- sponding reader service number on the reader service card in the back of this issue. A-C BRAKE A-C Brake Company will be fea- turing products from Korody- Colyer, who manufactures replace- ment parts for Detroit Diesel engines and also has a marine gear in its product line. Also being featured will be the Sweeney torque multipliers and the OTC tools and equipment such as the engine stand and heavy-duty pullers. A-C Brake is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. Start- ing out primarily as a brake spe- cialist, the company is presently in its fourth location, and covers the State of Kentucky and South- ern Indiana. However, shipping products across the country is a common practice. Now carrying about 80 product lines, A-C Brake not only serves the trucking and construction industries, but has many replacement parts and equipment suitable for the marine industry. Booth No. 213 Circle 11 on RSC ALFA-LAVAL Alfa-Lavel Nirex Engineering recently introduced its new Series C freshwater disillters, which are said to be compact and easy to in- stall. This, the manufacturer hopes, will convince shipping companies of the advantage of replacing con- ventional distillers with Nirex units while vessels undergo rou- tine overhaul. The new Series C unit is a streamlined version of Alfa-Laval Nirex's well-known JWP-36 dis- tillers. The "C" in the type desig- nation refers to the combined con- denser cooling and ejector water system. This combined system lowers installation costs and deliv- ers substantial economic benefits when installed in a centralized cooling system. Combining con- denser cooling and ejection elimi- nates the cooling water connection from the cooling water system of the ship to the distiller. Booth No. 510 Circle 79 on RSC AMERICAN AIR FILTER American Air Filter, an Allis- Chalmers company, will be featur- ing its new Amer-kleen cartridge filter for locomotive compressors. The Amer-kleen 300 cylindrical cartridge filter represents a break- through in air filtration technol- ogy for locomotive air compres- sors. The cartridge filter, which is said to have as much as twice the dust holding capacity as competi- tive one-inch-thick filters, is de- signed to withstand the demand- ing requirements of air compressor applications. For years the Amer-kleen car- tridge filter has been used success- fully to clean the engine intake air of high-horsepower diesel engines. The filtering efficiency, operating economics, and performance char- acteristics of this glass fiber filter media makes it ideally suited for cleaning the intake air on air compressors. Features include low initial re- sistance, high dust holding capac- ity, filter media not effected by moisture or oily atmosphere, dou- ble layer of grading density media provides high filtering efficiency, ease of maintenance, and long ser- vice life. Booth No. 717 Circle 12 on RSC AMERON Ameron Protective Coatings Di- vision of Brea, Calif., provides a full line of high-performance ma- rine primers and coatings devel- oped and tested in marine re- search laboratories worldwide. They effectively protect vessels from corrosion and from animal and plant growths (bottoms) under dynamic and static conditions. Products introduced recently in- clude: Amercoat® 2438, an abla- tive antifoulant; Amercoat 2161 and 2162, the most recent inor- ganic antifoulants and a bold ad- vance into a new technology; and Amercoat 346, a high performance tank lining for marine chemical carriers. Amerlocka/400 was introduced in 1983. This is a new, high-solids, self-priming topcoat specifically developed for the maintenance of steel surfaces. Ameron introduced the inor- ganic primer Dimetcote1' to the marine industry 40 years ago. To- day, its revolutionary protection of steel surfaces in corrosive environ- ments continues with a variety of formulations available to suit a wide range of corrosion-resistant marine applications. Booth No. 712 Circle 80 on RSC ANSCHUETZ Anschuetz is not only a leading manufacturer of gyrocompasses for all classes and sizes of ships, but also produces gyro repeater com- passes, bearing sights, automatic pilot systems for seagoing ships as well as riverboats, course and rud- der position recorders, electrical steering systems, computer-con- trolled navigation systems, com- bined steering stands, gyrcompass, horizon systems, heave meter equipment, rate-of-turn indicators, and electronic servo systems. The newest Anschuetz products are the low-cost Gyrostar and Standard 14. These products have only recently been added to the company's family of gryocom- passes. In addition, Anschuetz now offers a new low-cost Pilotstar au- topilot in conjunction with the Gyrostar. Also new is the low-cost, easy- to-install Compilot 9 steering con- sole—of special interest to owners of workboats, fishing vessels, and yachts. Also of interest is the new SEACOM satellite communica- tions terminal, now marketed by Anschuetz worldwide. Booth No. 702 Circle 81 on RSC AQUA-SIGNAL Aqua-Signal/Browning Marine will display a new wireless, re- mote control unit used to operate barge lights. This unit is small and self-contained, and gives on/ off control of port, starboard, stern, and anchor lights. Also to be shown are the Aqua- Signal range of navigation lights, some with photoelectric cells to switch off during daylight hours, and the Aqua-Signal line of flu- orescent lighting for decks and cabins. Booth No. 302 Circle 13 on RSC CAROLYN EQUIPMENT Carolyn Equipment Company (CEC) is a general/industrial con- tractor and steel erector with full field and travel capabilities. It spe- cializes in building bulk liquid storage tanks with capacities from 50,000 to five million gallons. These tanks are of fully welded steel construction, field erected and each tank is designed specifically for its end use. CEC's capabilities also include river lines, pipe bridges, floating barge and crane repair services, heavy-gauge duct- (continued on page 42) CmO^ nVN- „ - lOjgg® ** I*'6** 50 Y reof*- Q0.
