Powerful and robust: our drive solution for your separator

In a separator, the material is usually fed from above. At least two feed chutes ensure better distribution of the material on the distribution plate. As it falls from the distributor plate, the material is then distributed homogeneously in the circulating air. All internal parts and the housing are permanently installed and have a smooth surface. A simple but very effective protection against wear, which means that maintenance is not necessary for many years.

For separator drives, the robust and low-maintenance helical and bevel-helical gearboxes from the Industrial Gear UnitsX series series provide you with exactly the right gear unit solutions. The main component of the separator is a cylindrical rotor. The rotor resembles a cage - consisting of closely spaced blades - and has a variable-speed drive unit. This consists of the following components:

• a motor
• a frequency converter
• a highly flexible coupling between the motor and the input shaft of the gearbox
• a flexible coupling between the output shaft gearbox and the rotor
• a gearbox in vertical installation position with axial fan and air cooling cover

Separators can be retrofitted to existing ball mill circuits or integrated into new grinding systems. With the X series industrial gearbox and its wide range of options, we provide you with a complete drive package - all from a single source.
