About us
Shipsonic supplies ultrasonic anti-fouling systems. By attaching ultrasonic transducers to components located in seawater (or in the splash zone), the surface to be protected is subjected to ultrasonic vibration. This vibration prevents the formation of biofilm. Without biofilm, no fouling occurs. Shipsonic installs its systems primarily on keel coolers, bow thruster tunnels, strainers, water intake pipes, and sea boxes. Furthermore, the system works excellently on hulls made of steel, polyester, polyethylene, and especially aluminum. Shipsonic distinguishes itself from competitors through a patented method of attaching the transducers. Thanks to welded rings and screws, the transducers are pressed firmly against the surface to be protected. In addition, Shipsonic possesses special software that allows the components to be protected to be precisely controlled at their own resonant frequency. Due to these innovations, the Shipsonic system delivers a significantly higher SPL (sound pressure level) than competing systems. Moreover, Shipsonic distinguishes itself by not supplying applications whose operation is unclear or known to be ineffective. We would like to get in touch with inland shipping companies that also operate in salt or brackish water and wish to analyze their fouling problems and the possibilities offered by ultrasonic technology together with us. For some ship components, however, we recommend solutions other than ultrasound. After all, the end result for the customer is more important to us than short-term revenue.

modular control units

Control units for ultrasonic anti-fouling
De aansturingskasten zijn weldoordacht ontworpen. Er zit een klein display dat precies laat zien welke kanalen actief zijn en als er één niet goed functioneert (b.v. als de transducer kabel eruit is). 674 The control cabinets are thoughtfully designed. There is a small display that shows exactly which channels are active and if one is malfunctioning (e.g., if the transducer cable is disconnected). The units can be powered by 24 volts and 240 volts. They can be connected to both power sources simultaneously. If one fails, the unit automatically switches to the other power source. The power boards can be removed and replaced if necessary. They can also receive a software update from the customer themselves. Each power board controls two transducers (can also be programmed to control a single transducer – ensuring no unnecessary overcapacity).

Ultrasonic transducers
Shipsonic offers robust ultrasonic transducers. These are mounted with a double ring and secured precisely and under pressure with screws onto the part that needs to be protected against fouling. This mounting is indestructible and patented.
