Classification Of Scraper Winches (Part 1)

1. AIR Winch.Winches use energy to spin the drum, enabling them to pull the load and wind the rope.Air winches are well known for their efficient working in heavy industrial areas or a shortage of quick sources of energy like diesel or electricity.Air winches use compressed air to wind and create tension in the cable as a power source.They are highly weather-resistant; that’s why they are mostly used in harsh conditions like tropical forests, mining, heat production areas, and wet weather areas.This resistance makes them more environmentally friendly and also versatile.As air winches use compressed air as fuel, there is not much cost on fuel; moreover.They are quite handy in multiple tasks.

2. Diesel Winch.Diesel winch, as it is clear by its name, is a type of winch that uses a diesel engine for winding and pulling of load.Moreover, they are multifunctional and versatile.The winding of the reel is due to a drive unit powered by diesel and has two different ways to drive the rotation of diesel winches.One type is belt-driven, and the other one is shaft-driven diesel winch.These winches are used in areas where electricity supply is unavailable or minimum and hard to find.They are well known for providing telecommunication firms.Construction and towers, power transmission companies, and underground power cable engines.

3. Hydraulic Winch.This is a type of winch that uses fluid as a power source, Hydraulic system, and motor pump to power up the winding of the reel.This system works on a very simple but effective powering system.The pump pushes a low-pressure fluid to a driven component which passes from several pumps and backs up toward the reservoir.The best thing is they are very cost-effective and easy to handle.Hydraulic winches are great in performance and can push their limits for a longer period of time.They are productive because of their multiple applications and resistance against overheating.Moreover, these winches can work in cold conditions, making them the first choice for industries working in severe winter conditions.
