Anglo Belgian Corporation


ABC is manufacturing diesel engines since 1912.  The company has the reputation of building robust and simple engines, with low fuel and lubricating oil consumption, long lifetime, low maintenance cost and easy accessibility.

 


The original DX-engine has been developed to operate in very tough conditions: powering of fishing vessels, tugs and supply vessels, and use in tropical countries, where only rugged, heavy duty engines could do the job.


The experience gained under such circumstances coupled with intensive research and development efforts led to the newer DZ-engine, which offers double power in a similar but modernized frame.  This engine type has been manufactured for the last 25 years, in the version of 6 and 8 cylinders in line. The DZ-engine has been developed to burn heavy fuel oils up to 3500 sRw.


Both engine types have been adapted for dual-fuel (diesel-gas) combustion.  The DX-engines are also available as spark ignited engine.  Our work-shop in Gent is among the most modern in the world, using the newest types of automatic, numerical controlled machine tools.  Strong and cost-efficient engines are a vital necessity.  ABC has concentrated on extensive research and development, which enables the company to produce one of the most reliable engines in the world.  This self set goal for quality and reliability requires high investments in quality control during all stages of production.  Therefore, apart from the traditional test-benches, N.C. equipment was installed providing a complete "coordinated measuring center".  This measuring center guarantees a full scale geometrical precision of the finished product.



Based on feed-back from the sales department, as well as from production, our design departments continuously examine possibilities to ameliorate the engine and keep it at the actual level of new designed engines.  Design is done at four levels: on the basic engine itself (5 persons), on the applications and engineering of the engine (5 persons), on the method of producing components and assembling (4 persons) and on the test benches (3 persons).  All modifications brought to the product are introduced considering an easy and cheap update for engines sold before.  Our clients can therefore easily get advantage from new technology, for example when top or major overhaul is done.
