ii) Belt
Motor
The belt is driven by a low-speed, high-torque, 10 cu. In. hydraulic motor
through a direct drive.
iii) Collection
Well
The collection well is located in the aft of the DIP 500 and is made from .25
thick 5052 aluminum alloy. The well has a capacity of 375 gal. (US).
iv)
Oil Transfer Pumps
Installed in the aft compartment of the DIP 500 (Above the collection well) is a
DESMI DOP250 oil transfer pump. The pump is used to transfer harvested oil
and debris from the collection well to the on-board tanks or to auxiliary holding
tanks alongside. The compartment is designed to accommodate 1 pump. The
pump should run in the 'forward' direction. The maximum hydraulic input to the
DOP 250 pump is 42 gpm. Pump speed is controlled by varying the position of
the speed control knob from 0 to full flow.
v) Pontoons
The DIP 500 is supplied with 4 inflatable fenders that provide primary floatation
to the unit. The fenders are inflatable, each has 1 air chamber. Bladders are
constructed of urethane which provides a tough abrasion resistant surface.
The fenders are installed on the side and under a protruding lip with a series of
shackles. The fender/floatation construction has the advantage of light-weight
construction and the ability to reduce the size of the unit for shipping.
vi) Control
Stand
The purpose of the control stand is to operate all hydraulic motors and pumps
and enable the State of Maine to use their existing HPU units with the DIP 500.
