ABCON Stop Leak products • What causes leaks in stern tubes, tunnel thrusters and CPPs? • Insufficient lubrication of seals during dry docking • Oil film pressed out under stand still • Fishing lines pulled into seals • Sand and other impurities damaging seals when passing through shallow waters (eg, harbors and rivers) • What do ABCON SL products do? • Specifically designed teflon particles form a barrier in the gap between the rubber seal and shaft surface • Other additives improve the quality of rubber seals
ABCON SL Case Example: Stern Tube Seal Leak • 4,100 tdw coaster • Lost 100 L/day in May 2006 • After 24 hours of adding 10% ABCON-STERN TUBE SL, leakage was reduced to 2-3 L/day • Vessel continued to sail without further repair (for 1.5 years) until planned dry docking in late 2007, where new seals were installed
ABCON SL Case Example:Bow Thruster • 16,000 tdwferry • Bowthrusterbeganleaking in November 2007 • ABCON-THRUSTER SL wasadded and leakage stopped • Additionalbenefitsseen • Vibrations beforewere 3.7 mm/sec • Vibrations afterwere 2.8 mm/sec • Vibrations a newlyreconditioned 2.2 mm/sec Shows a layer of teflon has beenadded to shaft
ABCON SL Case Example:Thruster • 16,000 tdw ferry • March 2008: scheduled dry docking • Thruster motor shaft bevel was worn, hardened gear tooth surface was compromised and iron content in lube oil was exceeding limits • Rolls Royce could not supply replacement shaft for 8 months • ABCON-THRUSTER+ and ++ was added (40 L total volume) • Teflon particles permanently adhered to surface of gear teeth, provided lubrication which reduced gear friction and iron levels in lube oil to allowable limits • January 2009: ABCON visits Rolls Royce in Aalborg • Rolls Royce confirms ferry has not ordered spare parts to date • March 2013: no replacement parts ordered since as: • Ferry S/I reported bevel continues to function well • Since iron level is acceptable, class approved continued operation
Customer Testimonial 29. July 2012 We have had the great pleasure of using your products for our stern tubes, tunnel thrusters and conventional seals. I am planning to dock Princesse Benedicte in week 44-45 at Orskov Shipyard, but I do not intend to open the stern tube stuffing boxes as they are very tight. We have gone from 2 years to 4 year-intervals between overhauls. With kind regards, Fini Alsted Hansen Technical Superintendent, Fleet Management Scandlines Danmark AS
Customer Testimonial 18. August 2012 Yesterday we received your product. I must confess I am on the verge of being religious. For more than 16 years I have worked in various ships, fishing and off shore, but never have I seen anything more effective. After 3-4 hours the leakage had so to say gone. Alternatively we had to go to dry dock plus 6 weeks waiting time for a new stern tube seal.
