Power to the plant

Power feed systems for bulk handling equipment face somewhat different challenges to their container counterparts.

Wisconsin, US-based Magnetek, Inc has introduced a new series of heavy-duty spring-driven cable reels for power or control cables on a range of lifting equipment, such as overhead materials handling cranes, mobile cranes and construction cranes, as well as emergency and rescue vehicles, monorails, excavators, and welding systems.

Engineering group Cavotec has secured two substantial orders from the Dalian Huarui conglomerate for a bulk handling application in Australia.

The Cavotec engineering group has confirmed two important orders from leading industrial groups ThyssenKrupp and The Robbins Company for advanced cable and hose reels for applications in Saudi Arabia and Singapore, strengthening its presence in the U.S market.

Power-feed supply systems to large coal-handling plant can pose challenges but new technology goes a long way to solving such problems.

Global engineering group Cavotec MSL beat stiff competition to win a major order from Vale.
