CEMEX Marine
 
Rulmeca motorized pulleys are being used in some of the harshest and aggressive conditions in the bulk handling industry where conventional drive systems struggle to cope with the environment. One of the most severe is on board sea-going sand and gravel dredgers where the constant corrosive affects of the sea tales its toll.
 
Southco Shipping and Cemex Marine (formally ARC) have many sizes of Motorized Pulleys from 22kW up to 110kW working on board on various vessels day-in and day-out in all conditions. The most important factor is a 100% availability to ensure material is off-loaded on high tides within strict hourly timetables. Sea water wash-downs follow each unloading demonstrating the drives' excellent sealing capabilities.
