Gear units complete heavy workload

At an incline of 45 degrees and a height difference of approximately 180m, conveyor systems in a sub-station transported 500t of excavated material per hour, around the clock. On a second conveyor belt, the crushed material was transported up to the gravel plant where it was stored or processed for further use. For three years these conveyors were driven by NORD industrial gear units and transported approximately one million tons of material.

The industrial gear units were selected for the massive construction project thanks to the tried-and-tested UNICASE design: this one-piece housing block integrates all bearing seats.
