Mechanical drive technology from Flender
The fastest haul truck, the largest ball mill, the fastest conveyor belt, the
strongest crusher, the largest roller press...Gigantic machines in mines all
over the world move or process billions of tonnes of material every day.
They all want to be driven. Also, because of the often difficult
environmental conditions at altitudes of 5,000 m above sea level, or
underground in tropical regions, or at temperatures below 40°C, many
applications involve superlative drive technology from Flender.
However, the typical mine environment is not only marked by extreme
dust and dirt influences. A major problem of many mines is also their
location far from civilization, accessibility, water and energy. For this very
reason, frequently interlocking process steps do not allow any downtime –
a stopped application causes unrest in the process. And it costs money.
This is especially true for mines. That is why drive technology for mining is
always about two things: efficiency and reliability.
The German drive technology specialist Flender has been at home in the
mine for decades and has earned the reputation of being a dependable
partner with extremely reliable products. Its global setup, and the holistic
approach with which Flender consistently designs its product and service
portfolio, also focus on absolute system availability. This holistic approach
is not limited to the gearbox. It also includes all clutches, digitalisation
and drive peripherals. Thus, excavators and mining trucks, cranes and
crushers, apron and conveyor belts, vertical and tube mills, roller presses
and rotary kilns are kept in motion.
Industry insiders know that Flender supplies modern standards at the
highest technical level in every size. Decades of relationships with plant
manufacturers and mine operators enable discussions at eye level – and a
successful cooperation in many innovation projects. Thus, the Bocholtbased
machine builder can further develop competences and use them
profitably for long-term customer relations for many more superlative
references.
