BAUMA PREVIEW other machines , including those from third parties . Via a small box on the unit , the operator can determine the location , read out performance data and set alarm and error scenarios . The aim is to raise safety and efficiency to a new level , with the first systems already in use on the market .
The manufacturer will also use the show to provide information on many other pump models , including the LSC2.75S residue dewatering pump , and the KTZ and KRS pump series .
Among the benefits that come with this update to the X . e series of helical and bevel-helical gear units are a higher thermal limit rating , a longer bearing service life , and higher nominal and application torques
gear units to go ” program for shorter delivery times , aiming to supply SEW-EURODRIVE industrial gear units to customers even faster .
This sees standard drives from the X . e – up to 175 kNm – and P series – up to 360 kNm – leave the plant just five working days after receiving an order . Gear units that require design adaptations – such as special output shafts or preparation for use at low temperatures – are ready for shipping within 15 working days .
In terms of hardware , the company will also be talking up the introduction of new line-operated DRU .. series asynchronous motors in the IE4 energy efficiency class in Munich .
The new IE4 AC motors with 4-pole design will be available in a power range of 0.75 kW to 200 kW and can be combined either directly with SEW gear units , or as standalone motors in all footmounted and / or flange-mounted designs .
The launch takes place ahead of the July 1 , 2023 deadline stipulated in the third stage of the European ecodesign regulations for motors , ( EU ) 2019 / 1781 and ( EU ) 2021 / 341 .
Still along the lines of sustainability , the Bruchsal-based drive specialist recently introduced GearFluid , a premium lubricant for gear units made from sustainable biomass .
GearFluid Poly 220 E1 is the first CO 2-reduced gear unit lubricant on the market made from sustainable biomass , with CO 2 emissions at the end of the lifecycle of GearFluid Poly being 84 % lower than conventional polyglycol oils , according to SEW-EURODRIVE . Consequently , this new premium lubricant helps customers reduce their overall corporate carbon footprint .
While offering maximum wear protection for the gearing and the rolling bearings , the premium lubricant ’ s low friction coefficients increase gear unit efficiency and , compared with conventional biodegradable oils , GearFluid extends the interval between lubricant changes by up to 300 %.
Pump servicing workshop
Tsurumi , a dewatering pump leader , intends to lift the veil on its new safety pumps at Bauma 2022 , offering visitors the chance to learn how to service a pump properly .
For the first time , the exhibitor is coming to the show with a workbench where visitors can demonstrate their skills . The task is to service a pump , especially in the sensitive areas of hydraulics and electrics , reinforcing the need to carry out regular maintenance to avoid pump failures .
Safety is also the focus of the new product presentation , which the Japan-based company has saved as a further treat .
The company will debut the KRDX , a model in its new series of safety pumps that are approved according to IECEx and ATEX standards .
The three-phase submersible heavy-duty pumps are designed for slurry drainage / pumping and have motor outputs from 3.7 kW to 7.5 kW . They are equipped with an agitator and an outlet of up to 100 mm to pass solids up to 33 mm in size . Tsurumi states a pumping capacity of 2,200 litres / min .
Completing the safety trifecta will be Tsurumi ’ s Connect system for monitoring of pumps and
Mine development options
To this point , Austria-based Wimmer has set its sights on the tunnelling industry , with its flagship Blue Badger tunnel boring machine ( TBM ) being used around for tunnel cross-sections from 3.5 m in height .
Since the release of the original Blue Badger in 2018 , the company has supplied around 20 machines to projects across the globe . One of these was for a gemstone mine owned by Suacuai Mineracao LTDA in Brazil where the machine was previously boring through rock that had a uniaxial compressive strength of 60-120 MPa .
The company has expanded this range with the miniBadger – for driving tunnels with a crosssectional area of 6.2 sq . m or more where the working height is 2.7 m – and the eBadger – a TBM driven by an electric motor that delivers up to 50 kW of power on battery for tramming and positioning and is connected to the mains infrastructure while tunnelling .
The introduction of the Yellow Fox is where the company could potentially find further mining applications .
Based off a Liebherr 914 Compact Litronic superstructure with a Liebherr 920 Compact Litronic undercarriage , the Yellow Fox can be
