Sugar Mill Drives

Magtorq, the innovative and experienced Planetary gearbox manufacturer in India is dedicating its services to the industry by presenting our product range in Sugar mill area. Sugar industry once considered as conventional and old fashioned is no longer so.   In fact this old style industry is overtaking many other industries in upgrading the technology and judicious use of raw material, the cane.

Shaft mounted Torque balanced drives

This arrangement requires almost zero mounting and alignment efforts.  The half coupling can be separated and mounted on the machine shaft and locked in place.  The gearbox with the other part of the half coupling is bolted in place.  The torque arms are interconnected and the system is ready for electric connections and operation.

Gearboxes are flange mounted to the bearing block with the help of a mounting spacer. The gearbox have hollow output shaft with internal spline or hollow square (to customer specifications) to match the roller shaft. This arrangement simplifies the drive mounting by avoiding,

.Torque arm

.Heavy foundations

.Expensive Couplings.

The sugar experts also claim Better Extraction, higher efficiency and low maintenance on the rollers and its bearings.

The transmission of power to the mill takes place from a bull gear at the final stage. This bull gar is made smaller by multiple pinions meshing with the bull gear. The load sharing between the pinions are ensured by the function of planetary differential. The system is a combination of conventional gear & pinion system and planetary thus improving its maintainability.

GENERAL ARRANGEMENT FOR LUBRICATION:

Mill gearboxes are supplied complete with lubrication system with adequate capacity to dissipate the lost power in the system. General arrangement of Lubrication system is given below. The system will be optimized with every supply for the ambient temperature at site of installation.

Magtorq manufactures a wide range of planetary gearboxes for mill based on the given below ratio and torque ratings.

Standard Ratios

107 128 155 182 197 223 254 277 304 333 367 407 452 478 506

Output Torque Ranging from 744 kNm to 5816 kNm

As ever, Magtorq is always committed to work for customer if the application requirement falls beyond the above specified range.
