BHPBilliton Car Dumper 4

[littleguy2001]

Duh, see the arm....

how do they keep air through the train?

[plumloco6000]

They leave a locomotive attached with the brakes in "lead cut out" and the alerter isolated. The other 3 car dumpers at Nelson

Point have a compressor car at the back of the rake. Car Dumper 4 dumps 2 cars at a time.

[littleguy2001]

Do they use compressor cars like RTIO does?

How do they position the wagons?

How many cars dump at a time?

[chrismwpcs]

87 seconds per cycle when running good. This dumper can feed out at 10500 tonnes per hour. The best dumper out of the 4 BHPBIO has in Hedland.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Good luck with the job hunting.

That machine reminds me of car parking machines in Japan. Thanks for sharing. I'm flying into Newman soon to look for full time work.
