 30.09.2008, Kaltenkirchen – At this year´s SMM in Hamburg, WISKA presented its latest innovations for electrical installation and lighting on cargo vessels. Doing this, the company has proven again its nearly 90 year-old know-how in shipbuilding and put special emphasis on current issues such as energy efficiency and network-controlled IT-components.
WISKA showed that the currently often-cited energy efficiency does not only apply to design, the ship´s engine and alternative drives, but also to lighting. The new WISKA floodlights, depending on their lamps, achieve a luminous efficiency of up to 120 lm/W and a lifetime to up to 60,000 hours. Lighting on board offers big potential for an intelligent energy balance: Also the new WISKA Suez Canal Searchlight and the 300 searchlight with halogen metal vapour lamp use energy efficient lamps and offer most simple handling on board and cost benefit at the same time. According to an official manufacturer’s declaration, this central theme also applies to the new searchlights control system being integrated in the future ship´s ethernet network.
Besides its products, also the new WISKA booth in hall B6 and the traditional trade fair party on Wednesday attracted lots of people – the company presented itself in a self-confident manner and showed its innovation and high quality level in stand design as well. „The SMM is the leading fair of international shipbuilding – and a tradition for WISKA. We like to get judged by our innovations every two years and once more, prove this year, that with our own R&D in Germany and our excellent service worldwide do not only serve our market but in third-generation even design it.”, says Ronald Hoppmann, General Manager of WISKA. www.wiska.de

28.08.2008, Kaltenkirchen – Again at this year’s SMM, WISKA presents its latest innovations for electrical installation and lighting solutions on cargo vessels. Doing this, WISKA puts special emphasis on the controlling of system components within the vessel IT network and energy-efficient lighting.
WISKA identifies the adaption of industry IT network structures into shipbuilding as path breaking for the future. In terms of the increasing IT-orientation on board, central installation, controlling and maintenance would facilitate work significantly. According to an official manufacturer’s declaration, by its range of searchlights and CCTV surveillance cameras, WISKA offers system components which comply with the highest IT standards and can be integrated into network structures without any difficulties.
Also the WISKA reefer container sockets consistently set new standards and convince amongst others by its minimal dimensions and its large connection space at the same time. By delivering a solution for energy-efficient on-deck lighting, WISKA focuses the prevailing issue of the raw material’s availability.
The constant product innovation as well as the long-term availability of spare parts proves again the know-how of the nearly 90-years-old company with its origin in shipbuilding.
The product portfolio is completed by the comprehensive WISKA range for electrical installation on and below deck, containing switches, sockets, junction boxes and cable glands.
At SMM, WISKA is located at a new place in hall B6 / stand 220 and again this year, invites everybody to its traditional trade fair party on Wednesday on its brand-new designed stand. www.wiska.co.uk

First integrated breathable cable gland against condensation water |
16.04.2007, Kaltenkirchen – WISKA, the German manufacturer of electrical installation material, presents its latest innovation at the trade fair Hannover Messe - VentGLAND, a breathable cable gland which thanks to pressure compensation reduces condensation water in electrical environments to a minimum.
The core piece of this innovation is a breathable, micro-porous PTFE Gore membrane. Being an integrated element of the cable gland, the latter allows for a pressure balance between the internal and the external atmosphere, reducing condensation. Consequently, the new WISKA cable gland combines several features in just one component, with no additional assembly or drilling required. According to the official manufacturer’s declaration, the major cost savings and the ease of installation are clear advantages of the new VentGLAND, which meets the standards of protection degree IP 69K. Furthermore, the statement claims that the VentGLAND can be fully integrated into the WISKA SPRINT system and that it may, for instance, be used as an EMC gland with multiple and reducing sealing inserts.
VentGLAND is available in the sizes M20 to M63, and customers are able to choose from polyamide, brass or stainless steel.
WISKA General Manager Ronald Hoppmann refers to the product as an “efficient high-tech cable gland which makes previous solutions concerning the removal of condensation water obsolete“. He is convinced that VentGLAND is a product “which exceeds the high standards of the enterprise established in Hamburg in 1919.“
Nowadays, WISKA employs more than 120 staff members who develop and manufacture cable accessory, maritime lighting and electrical installation systems for customers throughout the world.
