Cone Fenders are compact fenders compared to Cell fenders. They have a higher Energy Absorption capacity for the same height. This is mainly due to the conical shape, which allows deflection up to 72%.
“DIPTI” DCN series Cone Fenders are compact fenders compared to Cell fenders. They have a higher Energy Absorption capacity for the same height. This is mainly due to the Conical shape, which allows deflection up to 72% .This advanced feature of Cone fenders improves the material handling capabilities of the deck/vessel cranes and hence reduces the overall cost of the project.
Cone fenders are also more stable at large compression angles and offer better shear resistance compared to any other fenders. Like cell fenders, cone fenders can also be equipped with frontal frames having low friction fascia pads to reduce the shear force as well as the hull pressure.
Cone fenders can be installed in configuration of single, dual or in multiple combination with a common frontal frame for optimizing the performance characteristics. These fenders are fitted with long frames to provide a larger contact area vertically for ports where there is a huge tidal variation.
