Horns and typhons
When sound signalling plays a critical role on board, it is important to choose a solution that meets the vessel’s needs, operating environment and applicable requirements. At Hans Buch, we help you find the right horn system so you can communicate clearly, navigate safely and comply with maritime standards with a reliable solution from Kockum Sonics.
Horn systems for safe communication in maritime operations
TYFON® horn systems from Kockum Sonics are developed for maritime environments where quality, precision and reliability are essential. The horn systems are used for safe communication and warning signals on board and are designed to meet the industry’s high standards for performance and operational reliability.
At Hans Buch, we advise on the choice of solution based on factors such as vessel type, installation conditions, sound requirements, power source and relevant approvals. This ensures that you get a horn system suited to both the technical installation and your operational needs.
Kockum Sonics TYFON® horn systems for different needs
Kockum Sonics offers a wide range of horns and bells based on advanced acoustic technology and robust construction materials. This makes the solutions well suited to demanding maritime environments where equipment must operate reliably over the long term.
Whichever solution you choose, you get a product with a strong track record of quality under the TYFON® brand. The products hold type approvals from relevant classification societies, and Kockum Sonics is accredited by DNV in accordance with ISO 9001:2008 for quality management.
Air-powered or electric horn system
The choice between an air-powered and an electric horn system depends on the vessel’s technical setup and operational needs. If you already have compressed air available on board, an air-powered solution may be the obvious choice. If you want an electric solution that is easy to integrate, an electric horn system may be the right choice.
Among the most sought-after solutions are SUPERTYFON AT 150 and ELECTRO-TYFON MTX 130. Both are developed for maritime use and provide effective sound signalling when the vessel needs to make its presence known at sea.
