Gearmatic Announces New Hydraulic Hoist —Literature Available Gearmatic Company, Surrey, B.C., Canada, has announced a new three-speed, hydraulic plan- etary hoist — the Model 54. Pro- viding bare drum line pulls up to 56,000 pounds (25,800 kg) and line speeds up to 474 feet per min- ute (144 m/min), Gearmatic be- lieves that its Model 54 is the largest, most powerful hydraulic winch built on a production basis in North America. Like the small- er models produced by Gearmatic, the Model 54 has all planetary re- ductions, automatic brake, and three-speed mechanism complete- ly enclosed and running in oil. Reliability is therefore high with virtually no maintenance re- quired. The three-speed shift mechan- ism can be activated under load, and with the cable drum in motion. This means fast gear changes, decreased cycle times, improved productivity. Options available include a range of cable drums, ratios, and hydraulic mo- tors, plus a free-fall capability al- lowing controlled high-speed low- ering.

New Oily Water Separator Exceeds USCG Standards —Literature Available A multi-chambered, gravity type oily water separator that discharges bilge water overboard and exceeds U.S. Coast Guard pollution control requirements is being marketed by Microphor, Inc., Sacramento, Calif. The com- pany's new separator utilizes the straight coalescing method to re- move oil from water. The device is available in seven sizes with capacities ranging from 1 to 1,322 gallons per hour. Its compact shape makes for easy fitting and handling onboard, states the com- pany. Automatic oil drain and air deflator valve are located on the outside of the separator, ensur- ing continuous and unattended operation. Oil is separated from water by the difference in specific gravity. Oily water from the bilge enters the unit by pump action and is roughly separated in the first chamber. Separation is completed by coalescing action in the re- maining chambers. The unit is said to require no messy and ex- pensive filter changes. Corrosion and oxidation resistance means longer service life. The device has been approved by the Inter-Gov- ernmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO) and certi- fied by the U.S. Coast Guard.
