This series offers exceptional field proven levels of performance, versatility and life expectancy, which exceed the demanding requirements of modern conveyor applications and
work to maximise the availability of our customers’ processes wherever they are in the world.

Enhanced thermal capacity
The improved thermal performance of the gearboxes has been extensively tested, both with field trials in some of the highest ambient temperature mining environments, as well as under controlled conditions on our own dedicated test beds.

Improved bearing life

Theoretical bearing lives can only be achieved in practice by a well designed gearbox configuration and adequate lubrication. The extensive prototype testing carried out on this series, backed up by field experience, means that the user can be confident that the desired bearing lives can be achieved. This enables our customers to avoid unplanned outages, ultimately leading to lower maintenance costs.

Improved and optimised lubrication design
Extensive prototype testing has ensured that the simple internal lubrication design is functional across a wide range of operating temperatures, gearbox orientations and running speeds. With increasing use of variable speed drives for conveyors it is essential that users can be confident that their drives are being adequately lubricated, even when running at creep speeds. Start ups from cold oil conditions have been simulated to ensure that even at low temperature start up, all bearings and gears are adequately lubricated.

Low noise, high performance
With noise pollution being an ever increasing factor in the specification and design of industrial machinery, gearboxes designed for low noise are a must. The series incorporates the latest design and manufacturing technologies to optimise gearing for low noise operation, with the theoretical results being verified by thorough test rig testing and independently verified noise measurements.
