<\/a><\/p>\n

Downtime in a manufacturing plant due to a mechanical breakdown is costly. A quick recovery to full manufacturing capacity is a criterion that SEW-EURODRIVE, a leader in the supply of industrial gear units (IG Units), understands, and who, through a assessment of the breakdown enabled the Rotary Cooking Pot to get back to full operation within a week.<\/p>\n

SEW-EURODRIVE Durban examined a Rotary Cooking Pot breakdown at an animal feed plant. Sales Representative, Cliffton Bridge commented that it was a fairly old Rotary Pot that had suffered a transmission failure. \u201cAn inspection of the broken unit showed that our SEW-EURODRIVE MC Series Helical Bevel IG Unit would be the perfect replacement solution, and that we could do a drop and install process that further reduced downtime\u201c.<\/p>\n

Bridge added \u201cAs solution specialists, we understand the need for a quick return to operational activity. The MC Series Helical Bevel IG Unit, that replaced the old worm styled gearing unit, is not only more compact due its modular design but has far less variables. The helical bevel system also has increased torque capacity, broader gear range ratios and delivers higher efficiency. The motor also connects directly to the gearbox\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cSubstantial cost savings were achieved by installing the new and advanced SEW-EURODRIVE IG Unit \u2013 over a 26% cost saving \u2013 than trying to repair the previous gear box. In addition to installation and commissioning within seven days, the unit offered an improved operating power of 55kW down to 37kW and a mechanical efficiency of 95%. The Rotary Cooking Pot was back in service with the minimum of downtime taking place\u201d said Bridge.<\/p>\n

For this application the MC Series Helical Bevel IG Unit from SEW-EURODRIVE has an AC-motort. The input shaft had a depth and length of 50 x 100mm with the output shaft having having a depth and length of 130 x 220mm. The left and right shaft positons are enabled through a single housing.The motor power is a nominal PM (kW) 37.00, and input speed of n1(rpm) 1475.<\/p>\n

The main benefits of the MC Series include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Wide range in torque offered
\u2022 Locally assembled in SEW South Africa
\u2022 Robust unit due to monoblock housing
\u2022 Leakage free capabilities due to optional \u201cdrywell\u201d version
\u2022 Quick and efficient technical support
\u2022 Extensive gear ratios available
\u2022 Suitable for horizontal, vertical and upright mounting<\/p>\n

The MC Series features the SEW-EURODRIVE Extended Bearing Distance (EBD) concept which offers stronger bearings within the gear unit itself. This means that in many cases separate bearings are no longer required in the agitator or an oversizing of the gear unit can be avoided. The concept is supplemented by an optional dry well seal, which prevents oil leakage at the output shaft.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a key solutions provider to the engineering industry, we believe that our efficient and modular solutions offer valuable savings, whilst showing the benefits of using the latest available technology. SEW-EURODRIVE is renowned for its technical excellence across all sectors of industry. Our purpose is to add value to our customers, giving peace of mind through our local support\u201d said Clive O\u2019Reilly, SEW-EURODRIVE, Durban Branch Manager<\/p>\n
