Deck Machinery Schoellhorn-Albrecht (continued from page 45) mounted, spur gear reduced, right- angle worm drive. Worm drive op- erates in a continuous oil bath and bronze bushings have pressure grease fittings. Primary power is furnished from a 30/30-hp marine electric motor, fitted with a 120 percent torque capacity magnetic disc brake. Capstan has been designed to provide 10,000 pounds of pull at 55 fpm and 20,000 pounds at 28 fpm. Ultimate pull is 55,000 pounds with an ultimate static holding ca- pacity of 100,000 pounds. Other deck capstans with bar- rels of 14 inches to 24 inches and driven either electrically, pneu- matically, or hydraulically are available. Also featured in Schoellhorn- Albrecht's new brochure will be a smaller, totally redesigned cap- stan/carpuller. These surface mounted units designed for less severe marine and industrial ap- plications will be available with operating capacity of from 5,000 pounds to 15,000 pounds at 30 fpm to 50 fpm. SMATCO Write 52 on Reader Service Card SMATCO, Inc. Division of TBW Industries, Inc., of Houma, La., has recently supplied complete shipsets of Norwinch low pressure hydraulic deck equipment for two ME-303 anchor-handling/tug/sup- ply vessels. The two vessels, built at Halter Marine, Inc. in New Or- leans, are 225 feet long, 12,280-hp vessels. The Kodiak I, recently deliv- ered, and Kodiak II were ordered by Penrod Drilling Corporation of Dallas, Texas. The two boats will be used primarily for long distance towing of semisubmersible rigs and other towing and anchor han- dling tasks. Each vessel is equipped with the following SMATCO/ Norwinch deck machinery: one 4S-250-2T waterfall 250-ton hydraulic anchor-handling/towing winch. The winch is powered by four Norwinch low pressure hy- draulic motors and is arranged to enable either of the drums to pro- ON PICK OR POCKSIPE CONMACO HOLPS ITS OWN Conmaco has four ways to help you hold the line on operating and maintenance costs: CONMACO HYDRAULIC BARGE MOVERS Efficient, compact, and self-contained.

TM of Conmaco. 1983, Conmaco. Inc. CMC 2130 vide full pulling power. Both drums can provide half pulling power si- multaneously and they can be op- erated independently of each other in either direction of rotation. The utilization of a four-motor drive provides an extremely flexi- ble winch. Each hydraulic motor has a two-speed/torque range, but in practice five of the totally eight speed/torque ranges obtained by the four-motor drives are suffi- cient. Therefore additional gear- trains are not necessary for high speeds. The system gives the advantage in allowing a controlled maximum load in the lines—preset by the op- erator. The winch is also equipped with Norwinch patented high power hydraulic dynamic braking system, which provides a hy- draulic braking control of speed and pull. Also onboard is a 30-ton hydraulic anchor winch type S-50- 1T bow windlass. This winch is powered by one Norwinch low-pressure hydraulic motor and consists of one declutch- able drum, one declutchable cable lifter for 38-mm 43 chain and two fixed warping heads. The vessels also have two hydraulic tugger winches, type MV-12. In addition each vessel has two hydraulic capstans, type C-9. Completing the shipset are two ca- ble storage reels, each having one fixed drum divided into two sec- tions and directly driven by one Norwinch low pressure hydraulic motor. All machinery was manu- factured by SMATCO, Inc. through a licensing agreement with SMATCO and Norwinch.

SUPERIOR • LIDGERWOOD •MUNDY Write 55 on Reader Service Card Lidgerwood Manufacturing Com- pany of New York, was estab- lished in 1873 as a continuation of the Speedwell Iron Works of Mor- ristown, N.J. From its standard hoisting equipment, Lidgerwood evolved marine winches. These were produced exten- sively for steam power and later were adapted to electric applica- tions. Capstans, anchor wind- lasses, and marine winches still continue to be a source of pride to Lidgerwood, which has definitely stood the test of time. The company offers a full range of well-illustrated literature that details the capabilities, special features, and specifications of its line of marine equipment. In- cluded are marine equipment such as integrated barge moving sys- tems; carpullers; capstans; steam hoists; trawling winches; towing winches; mooring bits and winches; cargo winches; gasoline, diesel, or electric hoists; anchor hoists; crane, dock, hatch cover, and dredge hoists, and windlasses. TIMBERLAND Write 56 on Reader Service Card Timberland Equipment Limited of Woodstock, Ontario, now offers a Canadian built choice in moor- ing and anchoring systems with a wide range of winches that will handle up to 2V2-inch wire rope. Timberland has designed and manufactured powered winches for over 25 years for the construction, mining, and marine industries. Recently they have expanded the product line to serve a wider range of winch applications for mooring, anchoring, and positioning of serv- ice vessels. One of these new cus- tom designed winches went into operation in mid-June 1982 on Lake Erie. Timberland's heavy duty diesel powered double drum waterfall-type anchor winch (model #HR-280-2) is being used aboard Pembina Exploration Co. Ltd.'s work barge—the Erie West. The Erie West is laying and repairing underwater pipelines and stimu- lating gas wells on the lake. Pembina's Drilling superintend- ent J.R. Rouble said that this winch has performed to their sat- isfaction and has met their expec- tations since being installed aboard the Erie West.
