Another "Hagglund Drive"




This is the coal unloading point where the full trains ride over the tipping bins. As they line up with the unloader valves they trip the wagons to open underneath the train and spill the contents into huge underground bins. There are three of these and then the conveyor, driven by one of our drive motors transports the coal to the stackers.

In WA where I am now we visited a few bauxite mines and Alumina refineries where the conveyors are over 70km in length, and all the pan feeders, crushers lubricators and condensors have our power packs and drives in the plant. Our office here is in Bunbury, and we have an office in both Port Hedland and Perth.
