Winch Panels
Description
All of our winch panels offer a host of safety features at the finger tips of the operator. We offer a wide selection of alarms and shutdowns that increase safety and reduce the occurance of incidents in the well.
Features and Benefits
Our panels offer a number of alarms that include over tension, differential tension and surface alarms. Each of these alarms are accompanied by their automatic shutdown counterpart.
The alarm and shutdown are set to ensure the operator is working within a safe max requirements for the cable being used or the well being serviced. If for example the cable or job specifies that tension should remain 5000 lbs or less, the operator could set the alarm at 4000 lbs and shutdown at 5000 lbs. In this case the alarm would sound at 4000 lbs, and the winch could be automatically shutdown at 5000 lbs. This basic alarm/shutdown structure goes a long way in reducing the chance of incidents in the well.
This same alarm/shutdown structure is applied to differential alarm/shutdown.
The surface shutdown maintains the same structure but is applied to the trip out of the well. For example the operator would set the surface alarm to 100 ft and the surface shutdown to 10 ft. This feature would then autoset the alarm and shutdown once the depth of more than 100 ft is acheived. As the cable comes out of the well the operator will recieve an alarm notificaiton at 100 ft from surface. In this case at 10 ft from the surface the winch would be automatically shutdown to prevent pulloff.
