Zink erstatter miljøfarligt bly i fiskeredskaber
Lead is a toxic heavy metal that affects the nervous system and can reduce children’s learning ability. It is also toxic to water and soil organisms and accumulates throughout the food chain, including marine life and is therefore damaging to the environment.
This is why Danish company Linimatic has developed a new type of sinker for fishing gear. The project was supported by The Danish Environmental Protection Agency and was prepared in cooperation with researchers at DTU, the Technical University of Denmark.
The end result culminated in Zinkers, which are made of die-cast zinc and shaped like the ring-and barrel sinker used on a vast array of fishing nets.
Die casted Zinkers will last 5-6 times longer than the equivalent lead sinkers. This means that the fishing gear also lasts longer. The zinc sinker therefore provides significantly better overall economy despite a slightly higher manufacturing price.
Sales and Finance director Torben Levinsen from Linimatic says: “Our new zinc sinker has been tested under real conditions for some years now. Both Fishermen and fishing gear manufacturers confirm that the Zinkers last longer than the old and environmentally harmful lead sinkers.
This is primarily because Zinkers are manufactured by high pressure injection molding, ensuring a non porous product with high density integrity in addition to a hard surface, resulting in less wear. Zinkers are easier to dismantle and reuse on new nets, yet another benefit to both the environment and economy.
Linimatics range includes a wide range of ring and barrel Zinkers from 50-2000 grams and with different hole diameters corresponding to current industry standards.
Vi støtter godt design
Design
Vi ser det som vores opgave at skabe Great Design sammen med dig. Derfor ønsker vi at optimere designet med hensyn til kvalitet, finish, holdbarhed, funktionalitet og pris. Zinkens fordele kan give dig mere værdi. Det skal vi gøre brug af.
Produktion
Vi er altid klar til at imødekomme dine ønsker. Med et fleksibelt, moderne produktionssetup har vi optimeret produktionen af zinkdele i mange varianter, størrelser og mængder. Derudover har vi 24 timers produktion klar til dine dele.
Efterbehandling
En af zinkens store fordele er, at behovet for efterbehandling er minimalt. Vi kan dog efter behov efterbehandle det med alle de gængse metoder som slibning, stansning og CNC-bearbejdning. Derudover kan vi udføre overfladebehandlinger som f.eks. forkromning, lakering og gravering, så du får en flot finish.
Montering
Vi kan spare dig for administration, tid og penge ved at samle din produktion fra andre leverandører for dig. Vi leverer f.eks. gerne samlede dele til et færdigt produkt, inklusive pakning, kundespecifik emballage, mærkning, kvalitetskontrol osv.
