— MECHANICAL POWER TRANSMISSION Titania Mine Controlled start transmission improves conveyor reliability Europe’s first Dodge® controlled start transmission (CST) drive system is installed on a 700 meter (m) conveyor at a mine in Norway, providing the reliability required to overcome lost production from breakdowns. Titania Mine Operating since 1960, the Titania A/S mine located in Sokndal, Norway, is the world’s largest open cast ilmenite mine, producing nearly 850,000 metric tonnes per year.
