Requirements of Transfield
Transfield placed an order with Airmax systems of Western Australia for the design and supply of critical components for five air supported conveyors in widths of 1000 and 1200 mm. This was for a new grain handling facility at the port for the Quangxi Grain Bureau. Installation of the conveyors and manufacture of other components was carried out in China by Chinese sub-contractors working under Transfield and acting on advice from Airmax. Attempts to commission the conveyors commenced in 1999 but none of the conveyors could handle the design tonnages because of motor overload.
