This large project headed by SEW-EURODRIVE’s “Heavy Industrial Solutions” department deals with commissioned designs. The drive packages were manufactured in Bruchsal and São Paulo in the spring of 2011. The final assembly and startup of the system will take place directly in the Carajás mine. Assembly stations are set up in front of and in the ore mine.
Industrial gear units from SEW-EURODRIVE Numerous drive functions must be realized on the mobile crusher. ThyssenKrupp Fördertechnik sought suitable suppliers for the technology required, which includes motors and industrial gear units. All technical requirements were put together in a specification and requested internationally. After evaluating the technical
solution, the ability to supply, the service options and the commercial criteria, TKF granted the contract to SEWEURODRIVE. The entire project includes 54 drive packages that are used for various drive tasks on the system. 20 XM
