Air pressure maintenance system

Proven air pressure maintenance system
Checkmate Flexible Engineering’s Air Pressure Maintenance System ensures less movement in the whole stow and has been proven to reduce the overall number of airbags needed, saving money and ensuring safety during transit.
Its cost effectiveness is proven – this is demonstrated by its sales success with hundreds of systems supplied.
The solution is our manifold Air Pressure Maintenance System, which keeps airbags correctly inflated at all times with no need for crew intervention. The system rapidly inflates up to thirty airbags simultaneously, using the ship’s own dried air supply and then maintains the pressure to a pre-set value for the duration of the voyage, ensuring the sustained security of the stow. It is also designed to cope with critical events, including air leaks of up to 5 litres/minute, in-line control valves ensure that pressure is accurately maintained.

RELIABLE PROTECTION
Secure cargo
When using airbags to secure cargo, they may lose air due to minor damage and they can also experience large variations in pressure due to changes in atmospheric conditions and temperature during a passage.
Additionally, certain cargoes can compress during transit due to accelerations in pitch, roll and yaw, opening gaps between the cargo and leading to movement of the stow. In the most serious cases very valuable cargos may be completely ruined.
Inflation of up to 30 airbags
Advanced 30 outlet manifold system
As the size of pulp carrying vessels has increased, CFE has introduced an advanced 30 outlet manifold system.
The Checkmate system is mandated for use with cargoes being shipped by the world’s largest pulp producer.
Sealed at the time of manufacture with no maintenance required under normal operating conditions for 5 years, at which point units should be returned for our comprehensive service & refurbishment programme ensuring continued operation for another 5 years.
