The growing focus on waste systems in the marine industry helped us develop a range of innovative products that can properly meet all the market needs.
White Marine is a plug-in system consisting of pipes, fittings and accessories, specifically industrialised, manufactured and patented by Valsir for the marine industry.
The system provides piping made from three different layers of material, combined together to achieve ultra-high mechanical performance - even at low temperatures - as well as excellent soundproofing qualities.
Applications
The White Marine system can be used for a variety of indoor and outdoor installations on board a ship:
Indoor installations
Black and grey water drains (both vacuum and gravity), kitchen drains including all horizontal manifolds and tank vents.
Outdoor installations
Deck drains and ship's balcony drains (scupper's drains) including horizontal collectors.
Excellence features
The intermediate layer of the pipe is made from a patented mix of polypropylene (PP) and mineral fillers (MF) that gives the White Marine system excellent mechanical qualities at both low (impact resistance down to -25°C) and high temperatures (up to 95°C).
The White Marine drainage system can carry waste water at a certain temperature with pH between 2 and 12. It provides high resistance to the most common chemicals and has an extremely smooth inner surface, preventing deposit build-up inside drainage networks.
ADVANTAGES OF
WHITE MARINE
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
High resistance to UV > 800 klys (ISO 4892-2), corrosion, salt and dissolved substances in drains, especially in comparison with metal systems.
MECHANICAL STRENGTH
Pipes consisting of three layers of material coupled together.
NO VIBRATIONS
The material used and the joint type of White Marine allow the system to absorb all vibrations and movements produced while sailing.
LAYING SPEED
Push-fit socket does not require the use of any equipment, harmful glues or solvents.
THERMAL STABILITY
Low thermal expansion coefficient. Resistance to intermittent draining at temperatures as high as 95°C. Resistance down to -25°C.
JOINT SEAL
With specially profiled elastomeric gasket, sealing is ensured from 1.5 bar down to -0.8 bar.
LIGHTWEIGHT
3 to 4 times lighter than metal systems.
SOUND INSULATION PERFORMANCE
Noise levels of 12 dB(A) at a flow rate of 2 l/s.
CONNECTION
Wide range of transition fittings for connection to other waste systems (cast iron, PP, PVC, PE and so on).
ECO-SUSTAINABILITY
White Marine is made from 100%. recyclable materials.
An extremely wide range
The range consists of pipe lengths from 250 mm to 3000 mm and features a wide selection of fittings and accessories that allow for a wide variety of system configurations.
From the smallest diameters 40 and 50 mm used to build up branching to floors, all the way up to diameter 250 mm for large drain manifolds.
The range is completed with accessories for connection to other waste systems produced by Valsir and pipe clips with anti-vibration rubber to reduce the vibrations that are transferred to the installation walls when the waste system is in operation.
Accessories for every need
Surface mounting of pipes requires the use of suitable brackets that must withstand the weight of the pipe, the weight of waste water and the forces that are generated by expansion and contraction.
Depending on the type of bracketing chosen, guide points and fixed points (or also anchor points of the pipeline) must be provided. However, if the discharge system is required to reduce noise then sound reducing brackets with anti-vibration rubber must be provided.
Custom-made items
As a complement to the standard range, Valsir also offers the opportunity to manufacture custom-made special items made to suit any specific application, making it even easier to install on board. As an example, a fully welded transport pocket with inspection cover included has been developed with this in mind.
