Reviews.

Real feedback from skippers running MWC Hydraulic Controllers on their Danfoss-driven gear. The Tahnee B operates from Eden, just up the coast from where the controllers are built.

I have been using the MWC Hydraulic Controllers for over 15 years to control the Danfoss PVG 32 hydraulic valve that drives the longline drum on my fishing boat “Tahnee B”. In our fishing operations, it is required that we start, stop and accurately set and adjust speed of our winch for “shooting away” and “winching in.” The MWC controller has proven to be effective, longlasting and reliable. It allows myself and the crew optimum control of speed and direction of our drum to maximise our fishing catch.

FV Instagator's tuna longline drum is operated by an MWC Hydraulic Controller - the same controller, doing the same job, day in, day out.

Pictured with a recent catch - fine-adjustment hauling on a Danfoss PVG-driven drum. Another example of MWC controllers in regular commercial use on Australian fishing fleets.
