Use and Design Features of Sardin Anchors
I. Sardin anchors are mainly used in offshore boats and marine aquaculture
As special equipment in the field of offshore boats and marine aquaculture, Sardin anchors play a key role in the following scenarios with their compact and lightweight design and reliable grip performance:
1. Temporary fixation of offshore boats: When operating or mooring offshore, Sardin anchors can quickly fix the ship to avoid drift caused by wind and waves. At the same time, in the event of emergency braking, Sardin anchors can be quickly put into use to provide a stable anchorage for the ship.
2. Fixation of marine aquaculture facilities: In sandy waters, Sardin anchors can fix aquaculture cages, buoys and other facilities to prevent them from being displaced by water flow or wind and waves. Especially when typhoons come, the deep burial mechanism and durable material of Sardin anchors can ensure the safety of aquaculture facilities for extreme storm weather such as typhoons.
II. Design features of Sardin anchor
1. Compact and lightweight design: Sardin anchor adopts lightweight design, with weight concentrated between 0.5-3 tons, which is convenient for manual or mechanical operation.
2. Grip mechanism: The bottom of Sardin anchor is equipped with a large enough single plate design, which provides strong tensile resistance by increasing the contact area with sand. The deadweight of Sardin anchor body and the weight of sand above work together to form a stable fixed point.
3. Durable material: High-strength steel plate welding process is adopted to ensure the strong and durable durability of anchor body in harsh sea conditions. Surface anti-corrosion treatment with spray paint can effectively resist seawater corrosion and extend service life.
4. Convenience and transportation
Split design: The anchor body can be disassembled into multiple parts, which is convenient for container transportation, saving space and cost. After receiving the anchor body, the user can quickly assemble it according to the instructions, which greatly reduces the cost of sea transportation.
Ⅲ. Advantages and limitations of Sardin anchor
Sardin anchor has outstanding advantages, optimized design for sandy substrate, and its grip is significantly better than traditional anchors. Easy operation, lightweight and modular design make anchor body deployment and recovery more efficient.
Split transport reduces logistics costs and is suitable for large-scale applications.
Sardin anchors also have limitations: geological adaptability is very limited. On muddy, rocky or hard ground, the grip of sardine anchors may be insufficient and special anchors need to be replaced. The grip is positively correlated with the burial depth, and shallow burial may not provide sufficient fixing force.
IV. Application recommendations for sardine anchors
1. Sardin anchors should be used preferentially in sandy sea areas or soft bottom environments, and should be avoided in muddy or rocky areas. According to the weight of the aquaculture facilities or vessels, select sardine anchors of appropriate tonnage.
2. When using sardine anchors, the operation should be standardized. When burying, ensure that the anchor body is vertically inserted into the sand to avoid tilting and causing a decrease in grip. Regularly check the corrosion of the anchor body and perform maintenance or replacement in a timely manner.
3. In extreme weather, it can be used in combination with other anchors (such as grip anchors and double-bar anchors) to improve safety.
V. Summary
Sardine anchors are an ideal choice for offshore boats and marine aquaculture due to their compact and lightweight design, reliable grip performance and convenient transportation. However, users need to fully understand their geological adaptability and burial depth requirements, and choose them reasonably based on actual scenarios to maximize their effectiveness.
