MARINE

Engineering for the Sea

Saltwater corrosion, constant humidity, and the dynamic loads of offshore environments demand brake systems built to marine-grade specifications from day one. Marine environments impose extreme corrosion challenges on mechanical systems. Kapabrake's marine brake band relining service targets rust jacking that leads to brake failure. We offer thermset bonding and marine grade surface cleaning and painting specifications to ensure long lasting braking. Kapabrake also offers a radial shaping service to match the contour of the brake to the drum. When brake bands, shoes or calipers are slightly warped, this provides a valued solution to maximum mating upon immediate commissioning. Kapabrake woven brakelining is also flexible for easy fitment on winches for anchors and windlasses.

Offshore platform equipment — including crane winches, tensioners, and mooring systems — operates under dynamic loads that often results in glazing for standard industrial brakes. Kapabrake's superior properties and certified design offer excellent performance under the highest loads.

Kapabrake has successfully supplied hundreds of vessels with various type of brakes and clutch cones.

Vessel Winch & Mooring Brakes

For fishing vessels Kapabrake is designed to securely lock individual drums under high dynamic tension when hauling or paying out the net. Kapabrake supplies woven and moulded brake lining for deck winches, anchor windlasses, and mooring equipment. Kapabrake offers a superior relining service to ensure you get the longest life possible from each band.
