LOFRANS Project 1500 24V Windlass

Technology, Durability and Performance combined in a single design! The space available above and under the deck is the primary element to be considered when selecting the proper type of anchor windlass. Vertical windlasses feature a vertical rotation in relation to the deck which allows a reduced volume above deck as the electric motor and the gear box are sitting in the chain locker. Also keep in mind that the height between the top of the stacked chain and the underdeck must be 300 mm minimum in order to ensure a fast dropping of the chain in the locker and an optimum performance of the windlass.​ The ´Project´ windlasses can be installed in sail and motor boats from 6m to 27m in length. These windlasses are considered to be an elite product line as they are developed to provide high performance, easy installation and maintenance. Another feature that is a milestone for Lofrans is the internationally pattended motor which includes two solenoids. Also they feature a sensor and a magnet for an easy connection to the chain counter. The motors of the Project windlasses are designed specifically to provide high torgue in every anchoring situation and their anchoring power can reach 45m / min. In case of function failure of the solenoids, there is the ability to bypass the solenoid with a connection to the terminal ´E´ and lift up the anchor. All motors have IP66 rate, their body has double zincates and they are painted with a polyester coating. Also, they are sealed by a sequence of seals in order to prevent water intrusion.
