AN EXPERT IN DRIVE TECHNOLOGY

A HOUSEHOLD NAME IS PROPELLING MINING OPERATIONS INTO SMARTER AND MORE EFFICIENT TERRITORY.

For SEW-EURODRIVE, optimising drive systems is more than just a capability, it’s something the company lives and breathes.

Its commitment to refining drive technology in the industries it serves has seen SEW-EURODRIVE establish a footprint spanning 56 countries and 22,000 employees.

One industry the company knows well is mining, where SEW-EURODRIVE motors and gear units have become commonplace in everything from conveyors to crushers and screeners to sizers to reclaimers to apron feeders and beyond.

“A drive is not just a motor and a gearbox, it can also consist of brakes, fluid couplings, inverters, swing bases and torque arms, to name a few components,” SEW-EURODRIVE national industrial gears product manager Guido Wagner told Australian Mining.

“We could be supplying a drive for a greenfield or brownfield installation, whether we're working with an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) to develop a new solution or installing a drop-in solution for existing plant or machinery.

“Either way, SEW-EURODRIVE is an expert in drive technology.”

The breadth of SEW-EURODRIVE's product portfolio means it has a solution for most drive problems. And because most of the company’s products are stocked and assembled in Australia, solutions can be quickly prepared for local mining customers.

“We are in a unique position to supply almost any type of drive in the shortest possible timeframe,” Wagner said.

But this doesn’t mean SEW-EURODRIVE rushes with its solutions, with the company implementing a collaborative approach to ensure the best outcome.
