Assured safety at sea
All stainless-steel Protex bandclamps have been selected by Bananashark Ltd to secure fire extinguishers on the company"s recently launched type 770 high power leisure RIB (rigid inflatable boat).
Bananashark specified 27SPG-HT070-115SS type bandclamps for this latest application. Manufactured in stainless steel, for maximum corrosion resistance, these units feature a worm drive adjustment for components from 70 to 115mm diameter and a spring claw design that is capable of accommodating significant variations in extinguisher bottle size.
The Protex products also provide an ultimate spring strength of 66kgf more than enough to retain the 2k capacity units in their cradles under the roughest of sea conditions, or even when the boat slams back into the water after a jump.
