Are you choosing the right grab for unloading your iron ore? 🛠️ The appropriate grab selection depends on the type of crane, its safe working load, the bulk material characteristics, and the type of operation. Each grab type offers distinct advantages in terms of weight handling, speed, and operational efficiency. • NemaX Grab: Known for its lightweight and fast opening and closing speed, it outmatches the clamshell grab in these aspects, enabling it to handle more tons per cycle and more cycles per hour. This efficiency makes it the most productive choice for iron ore handling. • Clamshell Grab: The clamshell grab is a very productive grab for a wide variety of your bulk materials. Especially for loads lighter than 30 tons and it can be made more environmentally friendly by enclosing the shells. • Scissors Grab: Above a safe working load of 35 tons, it’s well known for its durability and suitability for dense or compact materials, because of its heavy weight, which results in better penetration. The Scissors grab has a high average productivity thanks to its fast opening and closing mechanism and short cycle times. It also performs excellently on sloping surfaces, reducing your need for trimming equipment and staff. Conclusion: Generally speaking, for loads starting from 25 tons and upwards, the NemaX emerges as the best option, offering unmatched performance and suitability for a wide range of iron ore handling requirements. https://hubs.ly/Q02ZmhCX0 #Nemag #ironore #drybulk #bulkhandling #grab

Rudy Bovée and Vincent de Maat will be at Breakbulk to answer all your Grab-related questions at stand B41. They are waiting for you! It’s the perfect chance to dive deep into the latest trends and innovations shaping the breakbulk, dry bulk and project cargo industry. In order to get the party started even before the event starts, we listed our highlights for the upcoming event in our blog post 👇 https://hubs.ly/Q0300VTb0 #Nemag #BreakbulkMiddleEast2025 #Breakbulk

Electric arc furnace vs blast furnace 🥊 When comparing the traditional blast furnace versus the electric arc furnace, there are a few differences: • Energy consumption: EAFs generally consume less energy than blast furnaces because they can be activated and deactivated quickly, reducing idle times and energy wastage. This ability is particularly beneficial in contexts where energy costs fluctuate significantly. • CO2-emissions: In terms of emissions, EAFs have a lower carbon footprint. Since they use electricity, their direct emissions can be near zero, especially if the electricity is sourced from renewable energy. In contrast, blast furnaces rely on coal, leading to higher carbon dioxide and other pollutant emissions. • Production time: EAFs also have an advantage in production time. They can start production faster and adjust more rapidly to market demands compared to the long and rigid cycles of blast furnaces. • Economic consideration: The cost of electricity for operating an EAF can vary significantly depending on several factors, such as the local cost of electricity, the scale of operations, the efficiency of the furnace, and the production process used. Do you want to read more about the economic considerations, with estimated figures to keep in mind?

[Case study] From Challenge to Conquest: SMT Shipping's Journey to a 25% Productivity Boost! SMT Shipping has conquered the waves and revolutionized transhipment in West Africa with the NemaX grab. Imagine transferring iron ore instead of bauxite in shallow West African waters. SMT Shipping faced this challenge head-on, with colossal cape-size vessels and a determination to maximize profits. The results? A 25% increase in productivity, ROI in under 3 months, and virtually maintenance-free operation after transferring 6 million tonnes in the first year. The NemaX grab paid for itself in record time! SMT Shipping and the NemaX grab: a partnership that's raising the bar in cargo handling.

Are you aware of the potential of electric arc furnaces (EAFs) in steel production? ⚙️ Switching from traditional blast furnaces to EAFs offers significant environmental, economic, and quality advantages: • Environmental impact: Due to their quick "on and off" capability, EAFs can reach operational temperatures much faster. This not only saves energy but also perfectly aligns with the energy grids in places like the Netherlands, where there is often a surplus of energy during peak times. EAFs can capitalize on this surplus, helping to balance the grid by absorbing overcapacity, which is not feasible with traditional blast furnaces that cannot be quickly shut down or restarted. • Economic advantages: Economically, EAFs offer considerable savings in terms of energy costs. The ability to turn the furnaces on only when needed and quickly adjust to changes in electricity prices can lead to more efficient energy use and lower overall production costs. • Quality of output: With EAFs, the quality of steel is highly controllable, as input materials are precisely measured, and the process is adjusted in real-time. This means "what you put in, you get out," ensuring consistently high-quality steel without the impurities typical of older methods.

📸 A dedicated local maintenance team, keeping the Nemag clamshell grab in top shape. Keeping a ship's operations going in the middle of the sea, especially during bad weather, with limited help available, is a technical challenge. The focus is on ensuring that the ship and its equipment (the installation) can withstand tough conditions and keep running. Hats off to this hardworking team who warmly welcomed Rudy Bovée! #Nemag #Maintenance #MarineOperations #TeamWork #Reliability
