Shaft seal safety on show at Seawork

These components are specified by many major boat builders and the Tides Marine Sureseal has become an industry standard whilst the Tides Marine two year worldwide warranty and total customer service is acknowledged as an industry leader. Tides Marine products are manufactured in an ISO certified facility and carry Lloyd’s approval for commercial and pleasure craft.

At Seawork 2009 Tides Marine will launch its new Smart Seal Overheat Alarm system as well s displaying a range of products it distributes, including those from Armstrong, Aqualuma, and Transhield. The overheat temperature warning system works in conjunction with Tides marine’s Lloyds Register certified propeller shaft seals running on commercial and pleasure craft with single or twin engine installations.

Working in conjunction with temperature measurement specialists, Pros by Ditel, the system has been designed to monitor seal head temperature using a solid state sensor, electronic control module and a remote alarm panel or warning siren. Any increase in the normal operating temperature range of the shaft seal installation triggers an audible and visual alarm allowing maintenance to be carried out before damage to the seal head results.

Suitable for the newbuild and retrofit markets, the control module accepts a 12V or 24V DC power supply and has a self diagnostic facility on power-up to ensure that the system is functioning correctly.
