The Linear Cable Laying Tensioner is designed for use on various vessels as a portable or permanent installation. The surface pressure is very low to prevent damage to the cable or tube being laid. The (CLT) machine represents the ability of CFI-WesTech to produce equipment to the specific requirements dictated by the customer’s needs. Our equipment is always a fully engineered solution.
CUSTOM DESIGNED LINEAR PIPE TENSIONERS
For more information on any CFI-WesTech Linear Pipeline Machines and equipment, contact Control Flow, Inc.’s WesTech Operation with the following information:
- maximum pipe tension required
- maximum pipe speed possible during vessel movement
- maximum pipe weight per joint
- average pipe joint length
- type of pipe coatings expected
- pipe joint maximum outside diameter, including the coating
- choice of electric VFD driven tracks or hydraulic motor driven tracks (Note: Engine driven power units or electrically driven power units can both be supplied. Starboard side, Port side)
- ramp orientation on the pipe lay vessel (Note: Center lay pipe ramp orientation dictates certain design considerations of the linear pipe tensioner and are critical for determining equipment)
- Other equipment details will be determined by the exact application and typically are vessel specific
- If any equipment including LPT’s are available to be moved from one vessel to another
- any requirement for portability in the required pipe tensioner system
