Easy Installation
Installation is straight-forward, easy and does not require special tools.
Environmentally Friendly
Use less applications of toxic bottom paint while reducing environmental impact.
Increase Resale Value
Boats having automated anti-fouling hardware have increased resale value.
Commercial Vessels
Yacht Shield, supplied by Australian Marine Sales and offers the organisation of installation with reputable trades. From hulls to shafts, props to pod-drives, jet-drives to steering and control gear, sea chests to box coolers, and pipework to valves, our systems ensure thorough coverage. Additionally, they safeguard keel coolers, heat exchangers, RSW cooling systems, and bulk storage tanks, providing a complete solution for marine operators.
By choosing Yacht Shield, operators can experience benefits such as reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, improved performance, enhanced handling, extended service intervals, and increased asset lifespan.
How It Works
Yacht Shield effectively shield vessels from the damaging effects of marine biofouling. Our ultrasonic systems harness advanced ultrasound technology to deter microorganisms from adhering to surfaces exposed to raw seawater. By transmitting ultrasound wave energy through these surfaces, a thin layer of high pressure is generated, forming a protective barrier that obstructs the passage of fouling organisms.
In simpler terms, each ultrasound pulse induces subtle vibrations in the surface material, repelling fouling organisms and ensuring surfaces remain cleaner for longer periods. Trust Yacht Shield, delivered by Sydney Marine Electrical, to uphold the pristine condition of your vessel.
Benefits of Ultrasonic Antifouling
Maintaining a clean hull dramatically increases performance, speed, and overall fuel efficiency. Yacht Shield ultrasonic antifouling ensures you’re vessel is running at peak performance.
Ultrasonic Antifouling
Revolutionising Marine Maintenance
Ultrasonic antifouling technology offers a modern solution to an age-old problem faced by boat owners and the marine industry—biofouling. Biofouling, the accumulation of microorganisms, plants, algae, or animals on wetted surfaces, presents a significant challenge as it can decrease a vessel’s performance and increase fuel consumption. By employing high-frequency sound waves, ultrasonic antifouling systems prevent the growth of unwanted organisms on a boat’s hull, thereby maintaining its efficiency and reducing the need for harsh chemical antifouling paints.
Installing an ultrasonic antifouling system involves fitting transducers inside the hull, emitting sound waves that create an environment inhospitable to potential foulers. This non-toxic approach is gaining traction as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional methods, resonating with the growing awareness and regulation around marine preservation. It operates silently and can be used on various types of vessels, making it an adaptable solution for the industry.
The technology, while advanced, is designed for straightforward operation and is accessible for boat owners looking to protect their investment and contribute to environmental conservation. As research and development continue, advancements in ultrasonic antifouling systems are expected to enhance their effectiveness and efficiency, positioning them as a competitive option in the market.
