One of the most important systems for ships during navigation – the anchor system, and the bow roller, as an indispensable category among them, Alastin Marine has been constantly optimizing and improving the performance of its products. To bring users a better experience.
Anchor bow roller are mainly used in the mooring systems of ships, and their working environment is usually rather complex and harsh.
Marine environment: Long-term exposure to salt spray, humidity and corrosive atmospheres places high demands on the corrosion resistance of materials.
Dynamic load: During the anchoring process of a ship, the bow rolller needs to withstand the tensile and impact loads of the anchor chain.
Temperature variation: In different sea areas, the temperature may vary from low to high, and the material needs to have good thermal stability.
The design and manufacture of anchor bow roller need to meet the following performance requirements：
High strength: Made of 316 stainless steel, it ensures no deformation or fracture under high loads.
Corrosion resistance: Through mirror polishing process, the product’s corrosion resistance in Marine environments is enhanced.
Stability: The structural design is reasonable, capable of stably supporting the anchor chain and preventing damage caused by shaking or swinging.
Reliability: The product must undergo strict testing to ensure stable performance and a long service life during long-term use.
Water resistance: Full welding process is used at the weld seams to prevent seawater from seeping in.
Anchor bow roller are usually installed in the anchor chain hold or deck of a ship. The specific location needs to be determined according to the ship’s design and the requirements of the mooring system.
The anchor bow roller are installed on the hull by means of welding, bolt connection or flange fixation, etc., to ensure their firmness and reliability.
During use, it is necessary to regularly inspect the fixation condition and surface status of the anchor bow roller, and promptly remove corrosive substances or replace damaged components.
Precautions for operation: During the anchoring process, avoid excessive impact loads to ensure smooth sliding of the anchor chain on the support.
Anchor Bow roller are an important component of the ship’s mooring system, and their performance directly affects the safety and reliability of the ship. The correct selection and use of anchor bow roller can not only improve the operational efficiency of ships, but also extend the service life of equipment and ensure navigation safety.
