SENNEBOGEN 875 E-Series with Green Hybrid and electric drive in port handling in Turkey

As a complete provider in the areas of freight logistics and port logistics, the company, Kocaman Denizcilik, founded in 1987, services the Aksa seaports in Turkey and ensures smooth handling of the loading processes. In this regard, with the new SENNEBOGEN 875 an unparalleled machine development has been placed in practical implementation. A sophisticated machine concept, including energy recovery system and electric drive, makes the machine an economical materials handling specialist.

The machine, which was delivered in the end of 2013 by the Turkish Sales and Service Partner, Forsen, is used exclusively for unloading coal in Aksa Port. Equipped with a 7 m³ double shell grab, approximately 600 t per hour is moved, and with just 30 seconds per cycle the machine was able to prove its performance capacity within the first days of operation. This SENNEBOGEN 875 was especially developed for the customer's requirements and adapted to the local conditions. For this the machine was set up on a crawler gantry undercarriage with 5.00 m clearance height and 5.80 m track width. In daily operation the machine unloads arriving ships that deliver coal by the ton for the adjacent power plants. The existing conveyor belt transports the coal farther along the quay. To also enable work above the conveyor belt system, including feed hopper, a mobile crawler gantry variant was selected. This allows flexible work over the entire length of the quay and beyond, and cuts the slewing angle in half, since it is possible to unload coal directly underneath the machine into the funnel - an efficient savings of time and facilitation of work.

Innovative: Electric drive and Green Hybrid energy recovery system
The SENNEBOGEN 875 E-Series is driven by a powerful 355 kW electric motor with a mobile power supply via a laterally mounted cable drum. Operating and service costs savings of up to 50% relative to a conventional diesel machine are achieved through the modern electric drive. Additional advantages are longer maintenance intervals, the fact that fuel stops are dispensed with, and a longer component service life.

In addition, the SENNEBOGEN 875 E-Series is equipped with the innovative Green Hybrid energy recovery system. This sophisticated system saves the energy in the system when lowering the boom and makes this saved energy available again for the next lift, virtually loss-free. Through this means up to 30% energy is additionally saved.

Everything in view: Elevating Mastercab ensures an all-round view
Operators and the responsible parties at Kocaman Denizcilik have particular praise for the comfortable, elevating Mastercab. Thanks to the elevated position in the cab, which offers an adjustment range of 9.0 m, the operator always has an unobstructed view into the ship's hull and and the feed hopper, as well as all around the entire work area. This is ensured by the continuous panorama windshield, an additional armored glass floor window, and multiple surroundings cameras.
