For building material manufacturers
Sustainable drive solutions for the construction industry
Together with Knauf, SEW-Eurodrive presented drive technologies and solutions that can make building material manufacturers fit for the future. Sustainable technologies and concrete measures to conserve resources are demonstrated at several stations along a gypsum production process from extraction in the quarry to logistics in the outgoing goods department.
These include the reduction of oil consumption in the gearbox by up to 30 percent, the use of digital twins, segmented gear rims that allow partial retrofitting and the use of intelligent condition monitoring to minimize downtimes in the long term. Other solutions that the company will be presenting will also focus on sustainability. The Eco2 version for geared motors, for example, conserves resources and saves costs. This is because the drives in an aluminum housing are available without any coating or painting for applications in closed rooms that are well protected from heat, cold or moisture. For these conditions, the energy-intensive coating and painting process can be completely omitted, especially as aluminum is not susceptible to corrosion. An additional advantage is that, unlike painted gearbox housings, the uncoated components can be recycled more easily and in a more environmentally friendly manner at a later date.
