The sugar industry requires
different types of machinery in the sugar making process. These machines
in turn make use of different types of gearboxes for efficient, smooth
and noiseless functioning. The precision gearboxes vary in torque
capacity and gear ratios. These gearboxes can either be foot or flange
mounted.
Types of Gearbox Used
- Planetary Gearbox
- Helical Gearbox
Transmission of power and mill drive involve large investments and
maintenance costs in the sugar industry. There is a need to find
alternative that provides an efficient and compact solution.
Planetary gearboxes serve as an energy efficient, compact and cost
effective alternative when compared with conventional drive including
the hydraulic drives and gear trains.
Materials Used
The industry uses superior quality gearboxes manufactured from quality
materials including :
- Aluminum Alloys
- Cast Iron
- Stainless Steel
- Hardened Steel
These gearboxes are available in variety of designs, sizes,
configurations and installations for use in different processes in the
industry.
