#UnlockingEfficiency: LG2 Exhaust Mixers – An INGOT Revolution

Image
  #UnlockingEfficiency: LG2 Exhaust Mixers – An INGOT Revolution #ExhaustMixers #IndustrialComponents #INGOT #BronzeVsStainlessSteel Welcome to another blog post that explores the intricate world of industrial components. Today, we're focusing on the often-underestimated yet crucial component: exhaust mixers. And not just any exhaust mixers - we're diving into the marvels of LG2 Exhaust Mixers, a game-changer in the industry manufactured by INGOT. #WhatAreExhaustMixers? In essence, exhaust mixers play a significant role in the Marine Industry. They are used to mix exhaust gases before they exit the system, which helps ensure a uniform emission and more effective pollution control. Water-cooled exhaust systems utilise a method in which cooling water is introduced into the exhaust system through an exhaust riser or mixing elbow. The exhaust gases then propel the water out of the exhaust outlet. Typically, the engine's raw water pump is responsible for supplying the cooling wa

The Sea Change: Why the Marine Industry prefers Duplex 2205 Stainless Steel its predecessor 316SS

Image
The tides of the marine industry are always changing, driven by a ceaseless quest for efficiency, sustainability, and robustness. This drive has most recently been embodied in a significant shift in material preference - a shift from the tried and tested 316 stainless steel to the newer Ingot 2205 stainless steel. To understand the reasons for this migration, it's essential first to appreciate the essential role that these metals play in marine engineering. Stainless steel has long been the material of choice in the industry, thanks to its unique combination of strength, durability, and resistance to rust and corrosion - vital attributes for structures exposed to harsh marine environments. For a considerable period, 316 stainless steel, also known as Marine Grade Stainless Steel, has been the industry standard. However, there's a new contender which has been used significantly throughout the marine industry: Ingot 2205 Stainless Steel. This stainless steel variant has gained si

The Revolution in Engine Mounts: New and Improved Isoflex IFV Adjusting Stud Engine Mounts

In the world of marine engineering, maintaining a balance between performance, durability, and comfort is often a tricky task. It's a universe where every little improvement can bring about drastic changes. One such revolution has been brought by the new and improved Isoflex IFV Adjusting Stud Engine Mounts. Ingot - Foundry Marine Engineering Pty Ltd, a leading force in marine solutions, is proud to be the main distributor and stockist for ISOFLEX. With this partnership, we're excited to bring you the next generation of engine mounts designed to give you the best performance possible. Introducing the Isoflex IFV Adjusting Stud Engine Mounts The Isoflex IFV Adjusting Stud Engine Mounts are a game-changer in marine engineering. They have been designed to significantly reduce vibrations and noise, thus enhancing the comfort and stability of your marine vessel. One of the standout features of these engine mounts is their built-in height adjustment facility. This functionali

Isoflex Gearbox Couplings Combat Vibration and Protect your Gearbox

Image
Gearbox couplings provide two critical functions: they provide dramatic vibration reduction and act as a sacrificial link to protect your gearbox from damage. The gearbox coupling transfers torque between the engine and the propeller, reducing vibration and stress on your machinery. Under normal circumstances, a sacrificial flexible coupling should fail before damage to the engine or transmission occurs. Isoflex, the manufacturer of durable, engineered polyurethane vibration dampening products, offers a wide selection of flexible gearbox couplings for marine operations. Isoflex’s resilient element co-polymer specifically resists fuel, oils, water and hydraulic fluids. This corrosion-resistant, flexible material helps enhance drive bearing service life by reducing wear. The result is lower long-term cost of ownership. Efficiency and operator comfort are critical for commercial vessels where time and cost are important. Minimizing drive line vibration, propeller pulse and gear chatter pr

  Brass Vs Phenolic Bearings: A Detailed Comparative Study Introduction Bearings are an integral part of many mechanical systems. Whether it's in an automobile, an industrial machine, or a boat propeller shaft, bearings play a critical role in reducing friction and ensuring smooth operation. Today, we are going to delve into a comparison of two popular types of bearings generally used in the marine application: the Brass Bearings and the Phenolic Bearings. Let's examine their characteristics, pros, and cons. Brass Bearings #BrassBearings Traditionally, brass has been the material of choice for many types of bearings. Brass Bearings are no exception. These bearings are constructed using high-quality naval brass—a special type of brass that is corrosion-resistant and extremely durable. They are designed to reduce friction and noise in marine environments and are a long-standing choice in the boat building and maintenance industry. Pros of Brass Bearings: Durabilit
