ABB Gearless Conveyor Drives Do more with less, go gearless
Conveyors need to cover longer distances and ascend steep gradients in increasingly remote locations and harsh environments. By eliminating the gearbox from the conveyor, ABB’ s Gearless Conveyor Drive( GCD) system is one of the most energy efficient means of transportation for bulk material, reducing both peak power and energy consumption while delivering up to 50 % lower failure rate. Powered by electric energy, the solution allows almost CO₂-free transportation, while also reducing noise emissions and maintenance. ABB’ s GCDs are supported by digital services that help mine operators to take timely decisions enabled by real time monitoring of the actual asset performance.
