In order for this wide range of tasks to be performed economically, modularity, reliability and availability are demanded. The machines, systems and technology involved in these processes are exposed to extreme ambient conditions and must therefore be robust, able to withstand high torque loads and have a long service life. Drive engineering products made by SEW Eurodrive are reliable powerful and robust. Due to modular design and countless options all drive engineering products from SEW Eurodrive can be replaced quickly, if the need arises.

All SEW Eurodrive products and systems make the best use of the space available around the machine and ensure great flexibility and reliability. Minimum maintenance and simple operation ensure that machines and equipment operate efficiently from the very beginning. Thanks to the modular design and countless combination options, all drive engineering components from SEW Eurodrive can be replaced quickly, if the need arises.

SEW Eurodrive‘s range of helical, parallel shaft helical, helical-bevel, SPIROPLAN and planetary gearmotors offer power levels from 0,06 to 200kW with torque from 25 to 50 000Nm, combined with unparalleled number of closely-spaced power steps. Thus providing the best possible conditions for economical operation. Energy efficient motors, gearmotors, variable speed gearmotors and industrial gear units complete SEW Eurodrive’s comprehensive product portfolio. The gearmotors are complemented by MOVIDRIVE drive inverters and MOVITRAC frequency inverters. Ultimate control accuracy, integrated positioning and sequence control systems, hoist capability, and more, are all standard features of the MOVIDRIVE and MOVITRAC drive inverters with a power range of up to 160kW all designed, produced and assembled by SEW Eurodrive. Operator terminals allow for optimum visualization of the system. They allow production processes to be displayed and controlled via graphical and text based display, particularly in conjunction with higher-level controllers.

Products from SEW Eurodrive’s servo drive systems provide precision and dynamics: individual and flexible solutions can be found for many single or multi-axis applications and synchronized process sequences using low-backlash servo planetary or helical bevel gear units, powerful and compact servo motors or synchronous linear motors.

For economical, decentralized installation SEW Eurodrive offers components from its decentralized drive system, such as MOVIMOT, the gearmotor with an integrated frequency inverter or MOVI-SWITCH, the gearmotor with integrated switching and protection function. Mobile conveyor technology components powered via conductor rails or drag chains are being replaced by a new development from SEW Eurodrive: Contactless energy transfer with MOVITRANS system components.

Service is a critical function within SEW Eurodrive, providing sales engineers who will assist with expert advice, open analysis and application project planning. This together with SEW Eurodrive’s after sales service, product training and preventative maintenance makes for years of trouble free operation.

The modular structure of SEW Eurodrive’s systems and the countless combination options create the best possible prerequisites for the development of special solutions required by the Mining Industry.

SEW Eurodrive has its own assembly plant in South Africa and also sports massive local stockholding. This significantly speeds up delivery times and enables us to offer last minute flexibility.

We have done projects with various mining houses and will be able not only to offer you a solution for your particular mining application, but also provide you with excellent after sales field service.
