Seamate Hydrostatic Release Unit - HRU

The Seamate Hydrostatic Release Units are designed to have a service life of three years, aligning with the service dates of most recreational life rafts available in the market. Crafted from durable, non-corrosive materials, the Seamate™ HRU exemplifies innovative design and offers significant cost-saving advantages in automatic Hydrostatic Release Units (HRU).

At depths ranging from 1.5 to 4 meters, the water pressure alone is adequate to activate the release mechanism, allowing for the deployment of life rafts and emergency beacons without any human intervention. This feature greatly enhances both reliability and performance, as the release system does not rely on pyrotechnic devices or batteries.

The Seamate™ HRUs comply with all international regulations, and each unit undergoes individual testing to guarantee its reliability in emergency situations.
