Streamer winch.

Origin of streamer


Ulmatec Baro (formerly Baro Mek. Verksted) has been shown pictures above. Their reply:

We can not confirm the winch was manufactured by Baro. It might look like a Baro winch, but details differ. The hydraulic motor is also unknown to us. It might look like a Geco winch from the 1980'ties. The slip ring unit is similar to the types that Geco used. Baro did not deliver winches to Geco. Odim is a possible supplier. It might also be a copy made in USA or UK.


HYDRAULICS REQUIREMENTS, NEW VESSEL (2014)


BARO recommends the following:

When your winch was delivered, the usual hydraulic pressure was 175 Bar. In later years there has been a tendency for increased pressure; nowadays 220-230 Bar is common. Pressure can be reduced in proper hydraulic component ("Trykket kan reduseres i manøverventil ...") in order to use the old winch. Flow rate should be 100-200 liter/minute depending on winch cable force and rotating speed. Hydraulic pump must also be dimensioned according to the number of motors that must be operated simultaneously.
