With reference to chapter 7.4.5 in OCIMF Mooring Equipment Guidelines, it is recommended to test mooring winch band brakes every year.
In order to test and adjust the brake setting indicator (BSI), and/or other brakes, we have made a testing tool that will fit every type of drum sizes.
The flange of the drum can easy be drilled with two ø82mm holes to fit the equipment. We deliver adjustable brake setting indicator (BSI). This equipment is made to ensure that band brake will render at 60 percent of main braking load (MBL) of wire/rope.
