OSIL Launches New Hybrid Vibrocoring System

Ocean Scientific International Limited (OSIL) have launched a new hybrid vibrocoring system, fitting between its traditional Vibrocorer and its popular Mini Vibrocorer.

The Mini Vibrocorer was added to the company’s equipment list in the last 12 months.

OSIL’s Midi Vibrocorer is a lightweight coring system that is supported by a traditional deployment frame, making deployments easier in unstable conditions. 

The Vibrocorer is designed for sampling dense or compacted sediments, and the lightweight nature of the new system enables deployment in off-grid areas or from vessels of opportunity with restricted handling capabilities.

The Vibrocorer is a fully self-contained system available in 2 or 3 meter configurations, with sufficient battery capacity to power the system for 4 hours of continuous use, and has been designed for ease of deployment from small vessels with a winch or davit system. 

The corer can also be operated from 24VDC 12A vessel supply if available, and features a rotational barrel joint, anti-return valves and a high-power motor for excellent seabed penetration.
