News Release
In the field, Svendborg Brakes™ SOBO® systems have been proven to handle the large daily throughputs common in mining applications, while also ensuring safety and efficiency.
A major manufacturer of mining equipment was using a dipper trip drum driven by two variable speed DC motors on its line of electric rope shovels. These shovels are used to remove overburden and ore during the surface mining process.
Svendborg BSFI 200 Series and BSFI 3000 Series brakes have been chosen for use by WICET and the Roy Hill iron ore mine, both in Australia.
