Large industrial drive technology
3rd Quarter 2014
Shaft power components
Hansen Transmissions South Africa sets the industry benchmark in large industrial drive technology. The Hansen P4, Hansen I4 (invertible gearbox), Hansen M4ACC (air cooled condenser), single stage gear units, rigid flange couplings as well as the Premium Stephan geared motor range, meet drive solutions across southern African mining, materials handling, minerals processing, water treatment, mixer, cooling tower and allied industries. Recently the company’s product offering has been extended to include Paramax gearboxes. “Our continent still holds so much potential which we are ready to uncover. We are strengthening our attention outside our borders and expanding our current installed base in the SADC region and further north,” says sales and marketing manager, David Main.
The locally designed Hansen I4 invertible left and right hand-orientated industrial gearbox for multiple underground drive conveyor systems can be inverted (turned 180 degrees) for either handing. The requirement for separate drives as well as the need to perform handing changes under breakdown situations or in dirty environments are eliminated. The Hansen I4 offers further savings on inventory as only one drive needs to be stocked. These significant cost and space saving benefits have resulted in the local coal mining industry largely standardising on the unit. The rugged, reliable and powerful Hansen P4 large industrial gearboxes meet typical surface and underground drive applications for conveyors, elevators, cranes, hoists, bucket wheel drives, ship loaders, travel drives and tripper drives. The modular Hansen M4ACC industrial gearbox is suitable for dry environments with limited water resources and provides a cost effective, efficient solution for air-cooled steam condensation plants.
