Xstream Marine SSP Series: Multi-Purpose Electric Winch

High-Performance Electric Oceanographic Winches for Professional Research

Product Overview 

The Xstream Marine SSP Series is a premier line of electric oceanographic winches engineered specifically for the demanding requirements of modern geophysical and oceanographic operations. Unlike standard utility winches, the SSP Series is a "clean" fully electric solution, eliminating the risk of hydraulic leaks and reducing maintenance while providing the extreme precision needed for sensitive subsea sensors.

Whether deploying CTD profilers, side-scan sonars (like the R2 Sonic series), magnetometers, or Rosette water samplers, the SSP Series delivers the stable line-pull and speed control required to maintain data integrity in challenging offshore environments.

Why Choose the Xstream Marine SSP Series?

  • Fully Electric Efficiency: Designed for modern research vessels, the all-electric drive ensures quiet, efficient operation with significantly lower maintenance overhead compared to traditional hydraulic systems.
  • Cable Protection & Management: Equipped with an ACME Screw level wind system as standard, ensuring perfect spooling and preventing cable crossovers that can lead to expensive data cable failure.
  • Rugged 316 Stainless Steel Construction: Built to survive the most corrosive marine environments, the entire frame and drum are constructed from high-grade stainless steel for maximum longevity.
  • Intelligent Remote Control: Features a professional remote with a proportional joystick, allowing for fine-tuned deployment speeds. It includes emergency stop and drive reset capabilities for enhanced operational safety.
  • Ready for Mobilization: Every SSP model includes standard forklift pockets, allowing for rapid installation and transfer between vessels of opportunity or USVs.

Typical Applications

  • CTD & Rosette Profiling: Precision vertical deployment for water column analysis.
  • Towed Sonar Surveys: Stable towing for side-scan and sub-bottom profilers at various depths.
  • Magnetometer Deployment: Controlled release and recovery for geophysical magnetic mapping.
  • Environmental Sampling: Precise positioning of grab samplers and core systems.
  • Small ROV & AUV Support: Acting as a reliable tether management system for robotic platforms.

  • IP66 Rated Electronics: The motor, gearbox, and control box are fully sealed to IP66 standards, ensuring reliability against heavy seas and spray.
  • Manual Override: The level wind system features a manual override accessible from the remote control, giving operators total control during complex recoveries.
  • Integrated Safety Frame: Includes a ruggedized protection frame and grating to protect the drum and cable from external impact during deck operations.
  • Universal Cable Compatibility: Easily adaptable to handle different cable diameters, including coaxial, fiber-optic, and high-strength synthetic lines.
  • Precise Proportional Control: The local and remote joystick options provide smooth acceleration and deceleration, critical for delicate instrument landings on the seafloor.
