Bad experience with the reliability of
a vane air motor prompted Blue
Manta International to look for an
alternative. Although suitable for
operation in ATEX environments, the
existing model was inefficient in
extreme conditions, a problem
exacerbated by its inaccessibility for
repair and maintenance.
Both issues were resolved when the company switched to a Huco Dynatork piston air motor.
The Huco Dynatork piston motor that Blue Manta chose is manufactured in stainless steel and supplied with a helical gearbox. For 80-90% of its utilisation, the unit serves as a back stop when the reel is in a holding position. Unlike a DC motor in a similar application, the piston air motor will not burn out or cause overload.
