Watt Drive, drive units for bucket elevators
Bucket elevators convey bulk materials such as the raw materials of limestone, clay and sand for the cement industry. Watt drive has the right solution.
The materials are conveyed across significant hoisting heights. The elevators are therefore an important part of this production chain. The drive units used must be designed for continuous operation and need to be modified with additional options such as auxiliary drives.
In cement works, the elevators are used in the area of the tube mill or the cement mill. Conveying the relevant materials for the individual process stages to the separators is ensured by using reliable drive units.
The gear unit used is a 3-stage helical bevel gearbox. A fluid coupling is installed between the motor and gear unit; It ensures a gentle start-up of the heavy loads, and it also limits the torque during start-up and acts as overload protection for the motor and the working machine.
Watt drive gear unit is equipped with an integrated backstop and has an auxiliary drive mounted on it.
