Reduce downtime, boost efficiency and overcome challenges within the waste management industry with SEW-EURODRIVE.
Plant operators in the waste management industry encounter numerous challenges, particularly within the recycling sector.
These challenges include unexpected breakdowns, maintenance-related downtime due to wear and tear, and inefficient energy usage.
Essential for the smooth operation of the plant is the use of durable equipment that can efficiently separate, crush, and sort domestic, industrial, or construction waste.
Considering the demanding nature of the industry, it is crucial to prioritise quality and capability when choosing gearmotors and frequency inverters for driving plant equipment in the recycling sector.
Introducing the K Series Helical-Bevel gearmotors by SEW-EURODRIVE.
The K series gear units are designed to operate nearly wear-free, boasting high overload capability, long operating life, and high efficiency, including a high performance in a compact design ideal for space-limited applications.
When used with IE3 and IE5 motors by SEW-EURODRIVE, the combination provides a highly energy-efficient gearmotor solution. This focus on durability and cost-effectiveness is intended to instil confidence in operators, ensuring a reliable and efficient equipment investment.
A feature of the K series is its versatility, comprising of the foot, flange and shaft mounting options, including the TorqLOC hollow shaft mounting arrangements. This system simplifies the installation and removal of a hollow shaft gear unit from the driven shaft. Ideal for harsh environments associated with the recycling industry.
Furthermore, when paired with SEW-EURODRIVE’s MOVITRAC advanced Frequency Inverter, set-up is simplified, and the overall control of the equipment is improved. The MOVITRAC advanced supports a wide power range from 0.25 to 315 kW, catering to various applications with its scalable function package.
Flexibility and simplicity are at the heart of the MOVITRAC advanced product line. Thanks to its integrated communication, the interface allows many commonly used fieldbus protocols including, but not limited to, PROFINET, EtherNet/IPTM and EtherCAT.
The MOVITRAC advanced has been developed with safety in mind. Customers can implement integrated safety functions such as STO, ProfiSafe, and CIP Safety to even higher level safety functions and communications.
The combination of MOVITRAC advanced, paired with the K series gearmotor, is a perfect drive system for equipment such as conveyors, compactors and many more as it offers a robust and efficient design that simplifies operations while providing versatile connectivity options.
