Abstract | In small fishing trawlers, the fishing gear is handled by hand and the operation is very hazardous. A warping winch designed at the Central Institute Fisheries Technology, Cochin makes the operation of the fishing tackle in such vessels easier. The winch consists of a worm-wheel, housed In cast iron housing — two warp heads are keyed to the shaft of the wheel one at each end. The winch is driven by the engine by means of V-belt and through jockey-pulley-gear or any other clutch. The winch weighs 108 kg. and. the cost of fabricating it (including the jockey-pulley-gear) at Cochin is Rs.850. |
