The fertilizer industry has been
booming globally with increase in capacities, production, trade and
consumption. The trade in phosphate, nitrogen and potash fertilizers is
on the rise and also other intermediates and raw materials.
Fertilizer manufacturing requires power-driven heavy and light
industrial machines of high capacity. The machinery incorporates premium
quality gearboxes along with other components for smooth and efficient
working of machines.
A variety of high precision and reliable gearboxes are used in
different fertilizer manufacturing machines. The type of gearbox being
used depends on the end application. These gearboxes ensure smooth
functioning of machines.
Cast iron, stainless steel, bronze, aluminium alloy are the popularly
used materials for constructing gearboxes. These gearboxes are compact
and light weight but with higher torque capacity and speed reductions.
Types of Gearboxes Used
- Worm Gearbox
- Bevel Gearbox
- Spur Gearbox
The mechanization of agriculture has also led to rise in the use of
industrial machines, which in turn has boosted the demand and growth of
the gearbox industry.
