Cummins Diesel U.K. has opened a Marine

Center as the main source of all Cummins marine engines for Cummins distributors within Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The new l,821-sq.-m. facility is equipped to provide customers with complete power package from engines to propellers.

The Marine Center is involved in all aspects of design and stocks equipment of

Cummins B, C, 855, V28 and K series engines for workboat and pleasure boat propulsion and auxiliary applications in the 37 to 1,342-kW range.

This center, which represents an invest- ment of $1.5 million, is reportedly the largest distributor-owned operation of its kind in Europe.

MWH Rotators Increase Value Service Life

Markisches Werk Halver (MWH) has developed

Turnomat, a rotator for engines which reportedly re- duces unfavorable influences on service life and can prolong periods between overhauls. Turnomat ensures safe rotation of movement of the valve spindle during the entire opening and closing operation. The rotation energy brought about by this process report- edly has a favorable effect. At the moment of closing the valve, seats are being polished, thus creating imprvoed heat exchange, which lowers the tempera- ture of the components and results in a more even dis- tribution and a reduction in thermal stress.

Jotun Launches Low-Impact Coatings System

At SMM '96

Norway-based Jotun Group launched a new low- impact coating system at SMM '96. Comprising two recently-developed Jotun coatings, this new system reportedly offers a high level of protection in areas throughout a ship, while meeting the strict VOC limi- tations called for by environmental legislation.

The basic protection offered by the new Jotun system is provided by the group's Polymastic 100, high-solids, solvent-free epoxy mastic formulation which reported- ly offers good resistance to abrasion, fresh and salt water, as well as to splashes of solvent and other chemicals.

The resistance of Polymastic 100 to seawater immer- sion, salt spray and humidity has reportedly been proven by extended tests in water ballast tanks and fore peak tanks, as well as on hulls above and below the waterline.
