Port

India has a coastline spanning 7516.6 kilometres, forming one of the most prominent peninsulas in the world. According to the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, around 95 per cent of India’s trading by volume and 70 per cent by value is done through maritime transport. It is serviced by 13 major ports (12 Government-owned and one private) and 205 notified minor and intermediate ports.

The government of India plans to modernise these ports and has approved a project called Sagarmala. The ports and shipping industry in India plays a vital role in sustaining growth in the country’s trade and commerce. The Indian Government has allowed Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) of up to 100 per cent under the automatic route for port and harbour construction and maintenance projects.

Applications

Dragging Cutter Hard Facing
A dredger is a piece of equipment that can dig, transport, and dump a certain amount of underwater laying soil in a specific time. The cutter suction dredger is a stationary dredger equipped with a cutter device (cutter head) that excavates the soil before it is sucked up by the flow of the dredge pump(s). During operation, the dredger moves around a spud pole by pulling and slacking on the two fore side-line wires. This dredger can clean all kinds of material and is accurate due to its movement around the spud. The spoil is mostly hydraulically transported via pipeline, but some dredgers have barge-loading facilities.
Component Details Component : Dragging Cutter Teeth. Wear Tear : Abrasion and Erosion. Down Time Loss : Cargo Ship Traffic and their waiting time. Base Metal : Mn Steel/ Cast Steel.
EWAC Solution : We have the best product range for the build-up and base layer with hardening properties, which provides the best cushioning for the hard facing layer. We have numerous products for hard facing, which we can select according to their application environment, such as the presence of soft soil, rocks etc.
Savings :
  • Customers break downtime reduces so they need not change the cutter very frequently.
  • Cargo ships being held due to soil and rocks hurdles is reduced.
Container Handling Machinery
Container cranes are used to lift containers on and off ships using a long horizontal arm called a ‘boom’, a part of the crane that can reach over the container ship. Container cranes are electrically driven and have a supporting framework that sits steel wheels on rails to move along the wharf to line up with the ship they are working on. A large container ship may have up to 3 container cranes working on it simultaneously.
