Kahlenberg Brothers Company possess a heritage of craftsmanship and manufacturing which spans more than a century.  Recognized worldwide for providing the highest quality marine sound signalling equipment, Kahlenberg is certified to the ISO9001:2000 quality management system requirements for the design and manufacture of its products.  All Kahlenberg Marine sound signals meet or exceed performance standards established by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), (72 COLREGS).  ABS type approval certificates and/or additional classification society and government approvals are provided with each shipment.

Continuing to grow, in January 2007, Kahlenberg Brothers Company purchased the Marine and Industrial divisions of Airchime Manufacturing Co., Canada.  Since 1929, Airchime air horns, electric horns, and accessories have been well known for their high quality and durability in commercial marine, industrial and locomotive applications.  We are excited to offer a product line even more extensive than ever before incorporating the best of Kahlenberg and Airchime under one roof.

All commercial horn models were developed to withstand the punishment of commercial and military service.  Their durability has been demonstrated over decades of service on all sizes and types of ocean-going vessels ranging from shrimp boats to aircraft carriers.  Military specifications have required extensive testing for many of these whistles and the accessories supplied with them, proving the exceptional qualities of Kahlenberg design and manufacturing.

Model “S” and Chimetone Air Horns for vessels less than 75 meters in length

KMJ Series for vessels less than 75 meters in length

KMJ (Plain, TVE and ENC): These horns are available in single and duel tone models.  Cast in lightweight marine aluminium alloy, they feature excellent corrosion resistance that will give years of trouble-free service.  KMJ-TVE units contain enclosed heated air combination valves to protect the unit from freezing and condensation.  With KMJ-ENC units the combination manual/solenoid valve and horn sounding body are enclosed in a thermostatically controlled, heated enclosure for absolute protection in extreme arctic conditions.

KMJ (SC):  With or without heaters, our self-contained units are ideal for applications where an air supply is not available or desired.  These models consist of a motor directly connected to a rotary compressor.

KM Series for vessels over 75 meters in length

KM (Plain, TVE and ENC):  Model KM horns utilize a double diaphragm assembly which requires no adjustment over a wide range of air pressures.

The most durable and corrosion resistant construction materials have been used throughout.  KM-TVE units include enclosed heated combination valves to protect the unit from freezing and condensation.  Designed for the most extreme cold weather applications, the ENC versions of the KM horns enclose the sounding body and combination valve in a heated enclosure to provide superior reliability.

Commercial and Military electric horns for vessels less than 75 meters in length

The Models KB-20 and KB-30 do not require air or steam piping and are entirely electronic producing horn signals over 130 dB (1/3 Octave Band) at 1 Meter.
