Case Study
Dredger
Dredger The two suction pump systems are installed on the front side of the engines. In order to generate the maximum suction power, a special Siemens/Flender multi- speed gearbox is located upstream from each of the suction pumps. This special drive configuration ensures optimal loading and discharge process. The pumps can be connected in series for discharging the loading on land. Two MAN 12V48/60B engines with a power rating of 13.250 kW each are used as the main engines. RATO S 582Z have been installed in each of the main drive; meanwhile, highly flexible RATO R 473Z provide the necessary torsional vibration damping and compensation of the misalignment in the pump system on front side. THE BENEFIT of this holistic solution for the customer: The complete drive system can be optimally ad
