Martin Engineering introduce new Typhoon air cannon

Hybrid cannon design offers more force output with less air consumption

MARTIN Engineering have launched their new Typhoon Extreme air cannon, featuring the simple one-line plumbing of a traditional solenoid operation, and the power, efficiency and ease of maintenance of advanced centrally located valve designs. 

Supplying more force output with less air consumption than traditional air cannons, the Martin Engineering Typhoon units are said to deliver superior performance with minimal setup. The complete valve assembly can be removed in one easy step and replaced within minutes, working from one of the tank and eliminating the need to remove the tank from the vessel for service. 

Requiring only one air line to fill the tank and trigger valve, minimal plumbing is required. The air cannon assembly features a rigid steel mount that tolerates vibration for improved durability.  

The Typhoon air cannon’s negative pressure firing provides effective performance in challenging applications with limited budgets. Utilizing the same tank as Martin Engineering’s Hurricane Supreme air cannon, the Typhoon can easily be upgraded to a positive pressure-firing Hurricane valve to provide even greater output force. 

There are three models available: 35 litre (33kg); 40 litre (40kg); and 150 litre (56kg). Specific launch dates may vary depending on the country/region.
