Mechanical machining of gearbox housing for marine dredging of the seabed

Galbiati Group offers qualified technical personnel, technical expertise and a fleet equipped for the construction of gearbox housing of medium and large sizes addressed to various industrial applications.

We’ve been cooperating for several years with known companies around the world for complete sub-supplies and mechanical machining of gearbox housing addressed to the shipbuilding industry.

Galbiati Group recently implemented the construction and the mechanical machining as per third parties of naval gearbox housing intended to be mounted on ships for the command dredgers.

Gearbox housing for winch control for the dredging of the seabed.

The dredging is the digging operation carried out by a ship the dredgers (digging machineries) to remove sand, gravel and debris from a shallow seabed and relocate them elsewhere. This operation therefore produces waste materials which are taken away from the dredged area.

Dimensions of the gearbox housing:

• 3.500*1500 mm
• Total weight 15 tons.

Within the construction and the mechanical machining as per third parties of a naval gearbox housing, as described above, fundamental are the verification and the dimensional inspection, taking place thanks to the three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine Zeiss.
