APB-series
APB-series
Modular mooring and spring buoys
The APB-series represents a modular series of buoys, designed for surface and sub-surface use, rotomolded from polyethylene (PE) and filled with polystyrene foam (EPS), polyurethane foam (PUR) or other materials depending on the application. The buoys are equipped with hot dip galvanized steel armatures, 4 full-length hot dip galvanized steel bolts and continuous chain through the center. The steel armatures and chain vary from application to application depending on whether it is for aquaculture, offshore, surface, sub-surface or other installations.
Configured for fish farming/aquaculture
The APB Aqua buoys are rotomolded from polyethylene (PE) and filled with polystyrene foam (EPS), designed for surface use and equipped with yellow, daylight reflective tapes on all 4 sides. In addition to the continuous chain through the center, the buoys are secured with 4 full-length hot dip galvanized steel bolts. The buoys are designed to form a modular system and individual sections can therefore be added or, if necessary be removed from the assembly, to adapt to different buoyancy needs. The buoys include an integrated pipe as part of the top disc, allowing for light and different other equipment easily to be mounted.
Other configurations
The APB buoys are produced with steel armatures for offshore applications, filled with polystyrene foam (EPS), polyurethane foam (PUR) or other materials depending on the application. The buoys can easily be custom made, specially designed to meet the needs of the customer.They can be equipped with different steel armatures, different dimensions of continuous chain through the center, and different materials adapted to the use either on the surface or submerged to various depths. Polyform has an experienced research and development department and can in cooperation with the customer come up with the desired solutions.
The ABP-series can be modified for use within offshore.
