Gear Boxes : Its Scope in Different Industry

Complex gearboxes, large fans and power motors are critical equipment in almost all the manufacturing plants. The ability to know precisely when to replace bearings can often make the difference in a profitable operation or one that loses money due to unnecessary shutdowns or catastrophic failures. Used wildly in limestone, plastic-cement, ore, slag, plaster, coal-kibbling the gearboxes, today are available in novel structures, shock resistance, anti-vibration, small volume, light in weight, and it also is safe and reliable with long life usage. Following are the description and employment of the various gearboxes in different manufacturing plants.

Cement Industry
The cement industry postulates rugged and high-torque gearbox for multiplying an engine’s torque to produce the required output. Cement manufacturing and processing machines and equipment make use of a variety of gearbox for continuous and smooth functioning. The tough and ever changing demand in for gearboxes in cement industry necessitates the manufacture of sturdy, reliable and high torque gearbox and other components. Basically the gearboxes or speed reducers are implied for continuous operation, compact installation, consistent load and sharp changing load. The types of gearbox includes Bevel Helical Gearbox, Bevel Epicyclic Gearbox and Parallel Shaft Gearbox.

Petrochemical Industry
The hardware industry provides the petrochemical manufacturing units with a wide range of industrial machinery for lubrication, circulation and booster application. This industry uses different types of gears and gearboxes for smooth, continuous and silent performance. They require superior quality of gearboxes that have high tolerance and durability. Specific superior quality gearboxes designed for powerful performance required in refining and other machines are provided for the petrochemical industry. The industrial machinery including gear pumps, distillation units and refining machines

Power industry
This is one of the most important industry that installs heavy electrical equipment for power generation, power transmission, distribution and utilization. For the lustrous movement of the heavy machinery like turbo-generators, boilers, transformers, different types of turbines, switch gears etc, the power sector requires high quality and high precision gears and gearboxes. These gearboxes are available in a variety of sizes and shapes with high torque capacity and powerful performance for use in powerful machines.

Paper & Pulp Industry
The paper and pulp industry is flourishing globally. involving different types of industrial machinery for different manufacturing processes, this sector installs a number of gearboxes with varying gear ratios and torque capacity. Some of the most commonly used gearboxes are Shaft Mounted Gearbox, Helical Gearbox and Spur Gearbox.

Steel Industry
Another thriving sector is the steel industry that is one of the fastest expanding global industry. With the main role of manufacturing different types of steel and its related products, the steel industry involves various production methods and processes for steel manufacturing and end products, with the help of heavy duty industrial machines and equipment. Powerful gearboxes and gears are used in the heavy machineries (like agitators, crane slew drives, conveyors and winches) for the hassle free running of the manufacturing process.

Sugar Industry
Even the sugar industry implants different types of gearboxes in the sugar making process for efficient, smooth and noiseless functioning. The precision gearboxes vary in torque capacity and gear ratios. These gearboxes can either be foot or flange mounted. Some of the major gearboxes used are Planetary Gearbox and Helllical Gearbox.
