Deck Machinery Refurbishment

Offered By Markey Machinery

Proves Cost Effective

To be competitive, vessel opera- tors are always looking for ways to reduce their operating costs. Refur- bishment of deck equipment is one cost-effective option available to operators that revitalize existing machinery, or add new equipment to a vessel.

Recently, the Luedtke Engineer- ing Company of Frankfort, Mich., received a refurbished 50-year-old

Markey Machinery type TYS-16 tow- ing winch, originally operated by the McNeil Island Correctional Cen- ter on the MTV Butte.

To rebuild this tow winch, the

Markey Machinery Company of Se- attle, Wash., installed a new main shaft assembly including winch drum and clutch, gear guards, sub- base, and added a second self-ener- gizing drum brake to double the braking capacity. The modifications improved the performance charac- teristics of the winch to match the requirements of the customer, and increased the service life of the tow winch.

By choosing to acquire refur- bished equipment, the M/V Kurt R.

Luedtke was outfitted with a tow winch with decades of service life at half the replacement cost of a new machine, according to Markey Ma- chinery. For over 80 years, Markey

Machinery has been helping its cus- tomers minimize their operating costs through the refurbishment of existing equipment from a variety of manufacturers, or by providing new equipment with lower operating costs and longer service life.

Hugh Smith Receives 2nd Korean Order For

Shipyard Roll-Press

Hugh Smith (Engineering), Ltd., of Kilmarnock, Scotland, has just received the second order this year from Korea for their latest design 2000 Tonne x 17 M Shipyard Roll-

Press.

The first will go to Samsung Ship- building and Heavy Industries.

Hyundai Heavy Industries, Ulsan, will receive the second machine.

With a usable work area of 17 meters (55 feet, 8 inches) the ma- chine is designed to accept the longer plates now becoming standard in shipyards as they reduce plate roll- ing, flanging and welding costs. The company has also received several orders for the Hugh Smith Ship's

Frame Bender for cold bending of bulb flats, angles, tee bars and fab- ricated frame sections. These in- clude two 700-tonne (771.6-short ton) machines, one each for Samsung and for Daewoo Shipbuilding &

Heavy Machinery, Ltd., while a 400- tonne (440.9-short tons) machine is building for Cantiere Visentini,

Venice, Italy.
