Boone ALNp 50 Z-P

Boone has supplied a new dredge pump gearbox for an existing hopper dredger: Boone type ALNp 50 Z-P

Customer: Van den Herik

Activities: Delivery of dredge pump gearbox

This gearbox has 2 transmission ratios in which you can switch mechanically. This means that the dredge pump can be used in two ways: hopper suction and ship-to-shore pumping.

P=1350 kW at 1600 rpm

n2 = 510 rpm or 330 rpm

The input shaft is connected to the diesel engine by an air-switchable Pneumaflex coupling. The dredge pump is mounted directly on the gearbox, creating a compact installation. During docking the ship was converted to be more multifunctional.
