Electrical switching & drive systems & components
Hansen Transmissions recently secured an order for the supply of a large S winder drive to replace an existing drive at one of South Africa’s leading platinum mines. Hansen winder drives have been operating with unfailing reliability and safety at numerous local coal mines for many years.
“With an installed power of 1490 kW at 750 rpm down to 55,1 rpm and a special drive ratio of 13,6/1, the S winder drive will be designed and engineered with a similar footprint as the drive it will be replacing,” explains Colin Thornton, contract coordinator at Hansen Transmissions. Delivery of the winder drive is scheduled for January 2013.
Hansen Transmissions is the local subsidiary of the Belgian designer, manufacturer and supplier of industrial gearboxes, Hansen Industrial Transmissions. The company has maintained a good reputation for delivering superior products and outstanding service support to southern African mines and industry since 1969. Thorton believes that successful and long lasting customer relationships are built on the foundation of exceptional engineering capabilities and best-in-class products and services.
He says that low total overall cost of ownership, maximum uptime and optimised productivity are the direct result of high performance and reliable and efficient equipment, backed by 24/7 after-sales service and technical support. “We have become one of the most respected suppliers of large industrial gearboxes because we do not supply just products; we invest in our customers by delivering total tailor-made drive solutions that set the industry benchmark for reliability,” he concludes.
