The maintenance of rubber fender of wharf needs to be discontinued to some extent. The fast-paced loading and unloading terminals are not allowed to suspend production for a long time. To properly solve this contradiction, we can start from the following three aspects:

1. Seize the space of barge berthing and tide fluctuation, and carry out maintenance accordingly. This method is suitable for small scale maintenance tasks. Generally, the maintenance team of the loading and unloading company shall carry out the construction, which shall not be restricted by the outsourcing contract term and shall not affect the production and flexible master the construction in batches and blocks. From economic benefit analysis, outsourcing can save 1 to 2 times fee.
2. For heavy workload, complex construction and the long period of maintenance tasks, generally outsourcing is a good option. Because of this kind of project includes production and installation process, it takes a long time to vacate the berth. Using this method, the company’s planning and production scheduling departments must have a thorough study and arrangement, according to the production capacity and production tasks of the various terminals, the overall coordination, balance, local timing of production.
3. Strengthen inspection and maintenance most fundamental measure that maintenance is to take seriously at ordinary times check and maintain, the implementation of this job is key to reduce maintenance. Each wharf of the company should have a special person in charge to strengthen the inspection and maintenance of rubber fender with high responsibility, so as to timely find some small fender faults, such as loose fastening screws and falling off, bracket parts damage and crack, and immediately repair, prevent the development of rubber fender and bollard damage. Small holes do not mend, big holes endure hardship. In the past, a large number of fender damage and shedding are relevant with no timely inspection and maintenance. With the continuous progress of wharf rubber fender technology, the wharf rubber fender market will be more suitable for the rapid pace of loading, unloading and production wharf fender. Therefore, the problem of type selection will continue. Similarly, with the change of the type of wharf fender and the change of the management system of enterprises, different maintenance and management methods should be adapted to constantly improve the maintenance quality and level of wharf rubber fender.

Vulcanization of rubber fender
Rubber fender is mainly vulcanized by natural rubber and synthetic rubber and other mixture.
Additives such as carbon black and anti-ageing agent are added into the rubber compound to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of the rubber fender, as well as the properties of seawater corrosion resistance, anti-ageing and ozone resistance.
The adhesive material is uniform and free from impurities (foreign impurities), bubbles, dark wounds, cracks and other defects that may hinder product quality.
During vulcanization, the framework plate is firmly combined with rubber, and no steel plate is exposed.
