The patented Bend Stiffener Latch Mechanism (BSLM) was originally developed to simplify the installation and removal of bend stiffeners in offshore applications, but the core technology has the potential to solve challenges across many industries.
At the heart of the BSLM is a patented polyurethane finger arrangement that enables rapid connection and disconnection without complex mechanical moving parts. The result is a simple, robust and reliable quick-connect system that can be deployed quickly, even in demanding environments.
Potential applications include:
✔ Weak link systems
✔ Mooring line connections
✔ Temporary offshore installations
✔ Cable protection systems
✔ Subsea deployment and recovery equipment
✔ Renewable energy infrastructure
✔ Emergency release mechanisms
✔ Marine and industrial lifting systems
By eliminating conventional latches, hinges and locking mechanisms, the BSLM reduces complexity, maintenance requirements and installation time while providing a secure load-bearing connection.
We are actively looking to engage with organisations that have applications requiring rapid connection and disconnection, controlled load release, or innovative weak-link solutions. If you believe the BSLM could solve a challenge within your operation, we’d be interested in starting a conversation.
