Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal,Australia
Expansion 6 for the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal (DBCT)
DBCT is one of Australia's largest coal export facilities. It
receives coal from several mines located in the world famous coal
producing area of the Bowen Basin in Central Queensland
Australia.
The port is located some 25Km south of the central Queensland
coastal town of Mackay. Since it was built in the early 80's there
has been steady expansion of the facility as demand from the inland
mines grew and mining methods improved.
Expansion 6 is currently underway and includes a new ship loading
berth (allowing the loading of 3 ships simultaneously), and a new
shiploader (SL3).
The expansion brings the total out put up to more than 40 Million
Tons per year. Further expansions are planned for the future.
Svendborg Brakes DK recently delivered 12 x BSFH 512-400 calipers
for the new shiplaoders luffing winch and 1 x BSFI 3120-30R-200 for
the low speed conveyor application. All brakes were delivered via
the Australian distributor Svendborg Brakes Australia (SBA).
Special Power units were designed and manufactured by SBA's Parent
company Simon Hydraulics in their Brisbane manufacturing plant and
service facility.
When the facility was built Svendborg Brakes was involved and has
had involvement with sequent expansions.
Svendborg Brakes DK is pleased to have again delivered products to
DBCT.

Shiploader for Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal,
Australia
The shiploader was built by Evans Deakin Ltd. on the bank
of the Brisbane river and shipped intact to their site (Hay Point
just south of Mackay in North Queensland) by the crane vessel The
Happy Buccaneer.
The shiploader is part of a multimillion dollar expansion of the
DBCT, including new conveying/ handling systems and bucket wheel
reclaimers which will in-crease the Coal Terminal's capacity to
some 40 million tons per year.
There are no less than 16 BSFH 408 brakes on the Main Luffing
Winch from Svendborg Brakes, Denmark.

Hunterston ship unloaders at Clydeport,
Scotland
With the fitting of new BSFH 300 monospring brakes, to both the
hold and close and the rack motions, 2 of the UK's largest ship
unloaders are now completely equipped with Svendborg calipers.
There are also Svendborg calipers on the long travel drives. The
cranes are 72 meters high, and have a work rating of 4500 tonnes
per hour.
There are:
2 x BSFH 350 Monosprings on the close motion
2 x BSFH 350 Monosprings on the Hold motion
1 x BSFH 350 Monospring on the rack motion
16 x BSFH 304 on the long travel gear boxes
8 x BSFH 320 directly on the wheels
The old and worn out Wichita brakes on the hold, close and rack
were too expensive to repair and ser vice and the Svendborg
solution proved to be economical despite the need for new discs and
support brackets.

Svendborg Brakes - Cargill New Orleans, USA
SOBO brake installation upgrade for Mississippi barge
unloader Unloading of the constant stream of grain barges at New
Orleans that sail down the Mississippi river from the prairies is a
classic example of bulk materials handling.
The grain terminals with their massive silos that stand by the
river estuary devised ways of picking up the grain from the barge
and transporting it to storage many years ago and in some cases,
solutions that worked so well have continued to do so over very
long periods.
