Roller press mills, also referred to as roll crushers or horizontal mills, crush hard materials in many industries – often under extreme operating conditions. Our drive solutions supply these mills with the necessary power.
High operational reliability for roller press mills – for any load

Roller press mills are used in mining and in the mineral and cement industries under harsh conditions. They crush dry or wet material with grain sizes from 1 to over 75 mm. After the milling process, the material size can range to 0.04 mm. Roller press mills are also designed for a throughput of over 3,000 tonnes per hour.
The durability and reliability of the gear technology used and the high torques involved make our P series industrial planetary gear units and the XP series essential power packages for these applications. The high power density of the industrial planetary gear units also means that they have a very compact design. This allows for a variable and space-saving installation within the roller press mill drive package. Our industrial gear units for roller press mills are also extremely efficient: thanks to the crushing principle, roller press mills require less than half the energy of tube mills.
The ideal drive solution for your roller press mills consists of:
- Electric motor with constant or variable speed
- V-belt connection to the gear unit
- Cardan shaft connection to the gear unit
- Mechanical overload coupling to protect the gear unit
- Planetary gear unit
As a leading manufacturer of industrial gear units, we supply all the components and options to fully meet even the most complex requirements - and guarantee a high level of operating reliability.
