Propspeed’s Foulfree and FarSounder
” Our distinct, patented technology is designed to paint a clear picture of what exists ahead underwater and along the bottom,” claimed Cheryl Zimmerman, CEO, FarSounder. “Marine growth on our transducers might restrict the effectiveness of our products and possibly put a vessel in a risky circumstance. When choosing a partner, it is also essential that they are environment-friendly. Foulfree is a specialized foul-release coating that is biocide-free and also does not poison marine growth.”
The FarSounder line of Argos navigation systems is cutting-edge of 3D progressive sonar systems. The Argos 1000, Argos 500, and Argos 350 offer clients with an entire suite of advanced navigation capabilities of interest to vessels going from luxury yachts to cruise ships to research vessels.
” We are proud to be tested and endorsed by such a well-regarded brand,” claimed Chris Baird, CEO, Propspeed. “The FarSounder collision evasion sonar technology is indispensable to the safety of ocean-going vessels. Furthermore, Foulfree has confirmed once again to protect transducers without any degradation in performance effectively.”
Certified by Airmar to cause no loss in transducer performance when applied, Foulfree releases marine growth, reducing the maintenance needed to keep transducers tidy and streamlining water flow. Foulfree is a specialized foul-release coating that is biocide-free and does not poison marine growth. Once cured, Foulfree makes a super-slippery surface over the transducer, stopping marine growth from affixing to its surface. Supplying a long service life lasts a minimum of 12 months, with a much longer life span in cooler climates.
