Separators are used to separate various materials, such as in grinding systems when manufacturing cement. Our vertical industrial gear units provide durable drive solutions for these kinds of applications.
Powerful and robust: our drive solution for your separator

The material feed normally takes place from above for separators. At least two feed chutes ensure that the material is better distributed on the distributor plate. From the distributor plate, the material is then homogeneously distributed into the circulating air. The internal parts as well as the housing are permanently installed and have a smooth surface. Simple, but very effective protection against wear, which ensures that no maintenance is required for many years.
For separator drives, the robust and low-maintenance helical gear and bevel-helical gear units from theX series industrial gear units are the ideal gear unit solution. The main component of the separator is a cylindrical rotor. The rotor is similar to a cage, consisting of closely spaced blades, and has an adjustable-speed drive unit. This comprises the following components:
- a motor
- a frequency inverter
- a highly flexible coupling between the motor and the gear unit's input shaft
- a flexible coupling between the output shaft gear unit and the rotor
- a gear unit in a vertical mounting position with an axial fan and air cooling cover
Separators can be retrofitted in existing ball mill circulations or integrated into new grinding systems. The X series industrial gear unit and its wide range of options provide a complete drive package - all from a single source.

Your benefits
-
Complete solutions
thanks to perfectly compatible components and other options for your specific application. -
Reliable application
even in harsh environments – thanks to the robust housing of the X series industrial gear unit. -
Extended service life
as the low oil bath temperature extends the oil's service life and the overall life of the separator.
