Split Barge Cylinder

Split Barge Cylinder Specifications

A split barge cylinder is a hydraulic cylinder that is used to open and close the bottom doors of a split hopper barge. Split hopper barges are utilized for transporting and unloading bulk materials, such as sand, gravel, and dredged material. The split barge cylinder plays a crucial role in the split barge system, enabling efficient and swift cargo unloading.

These cylinders are typically large and robust, engineered to generate sufficient force to operate the heavy bottom doors of the barge. Designed for durability and resistance to corrosion, they are built to withstand the demanding marine conditions.

How Does a Split Barge Cylinder Work?

Split barge cylinders are generally powered by a hydraulic unit located on the barge. This hydraulic power unit supplies the pressurized fluid that drives the cylinder. When activated, the hydraulic fluid enters the cylinder, extending the piston, which is connected to the bottom doors. Consequently, the doors open as the piston moves outward.

To close the doors, the hydraulic power unit is reversed, allowing the pressurized fluid to exit the cylinder. This action retracts the piston and closes the bottom doors.

Advantages of the Split Barge Cylinder

• Wide Temperature Range: The Split Barge Cylinder is designed to operate effectively in a temperature range from -40℃ to +100℃, making it suitable for various environmental conditions.
• Robust Sealing and Waterproof Design: Its advanced sealing and waterproof structure ensures long-term reliability and a leak-free operation, even under challenging conditions.
• Structural Optimization and Safety: The cylinder's design benefits from theoretical analysis and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), resulting in enhanced safety and optimization for diverse applications.
• Anti-Corrosion Technology: The guide sleeve features special anti-corrosion technology to prevent rust, ensuring durability and performance.
• Customized Anti-Corrosion Solutions: Options for surface anti-corrosion treatments, such as ceramic spraying and laser cladding, are available to meet specific requirements.
• Flexible Integration: The cylinder can be tailored to specific needs, incorporating features like check valves, load-holding valves, and more for precise operational requirements.
• Customization Options: Parameters such as working pressure, size specifications, and installation methods can be adjusted based on customer needs to ensure an ideal fit for each application.
