New Mining Drive shows at Hillhead

SEW Eurodrive is unveiling its new Mining Drive for the first time in the UK at this year's Hillhead exhibition, 19 – 21 June, in Buxton, Derbyshire, on stand E20. The new drive is available as a package to provide customers with a one-stop-shop service. It has a thermal housing so no additional cooling is required and it is certified to comply with ATEX M2 underground mining environment.

Visitors to the stand will be able to see a range of drive packages commonly found in the mining and quarrying industries. These include a slewing drive, a twin calendar drive and a conveyor swing base drive utilising a thermally housed X series gear unit.

Various X series gear units will be on show, along with the latest size 7 Movidrive inverter, with a power rating of up to 315kW, and cut-away models of the company's market leading 7 series high efficiency helical and bevel helical geared motors. There will also be an X series gear unit complete with half-body flange coupling for conveyor applications.
