The Indeco HP 5000 ABF at work in the construction of new commercial port of Molfetta
- Category: Underwater excavation
In more than two months of submarine excavations, it has shown excellent reliability, without ever needing any particular maintenance
When it is finished, the new commercial harbour in Molfetta, in the south-eastern region of Apulia, near Indeco’s hometown of Bari, will be the second-biggest marine infrastructure in Italy, after the Mose in Venice. A simply colossal project costing around 60 million euros, which involves a number of dredgers, the largest of which measure around 50 metres in length.

Indeco 1200: efficiency at 1200 degrees
- Category: Blast-furnace ladles
Take a look at this fascinating photo taken by our engineer Pasquale di Gesù at the COSIPA (Compagnia Siderurgica Paolinense) foundry in the Brazilian city of Sao Paolo.
COSIPA has been a customer of COPEX, the local Indeco breaker importers and dealers, for over ten years. COSIPA has purchased 10 Indeco 1200 breakers, which are being used to get rid of the casting slag which forms on the inside of the blast-furnace ladles. The conditions are so extreme that the breakers have to work at temperatures ranging from 1000 to 1200 degrees Centigrade. The 10 breakers are equipped with unusually long tools, one measuring no less than 2.80 metres in length, enabling the breaker body itself to keep at a safe distance, at least one metre away from the red-hot ladles.
