Low acquisition costs
thanks to the good thermal rating of the industrial gear units, which also removes the need for an additional cooling system.
Reliable package solutions
thanks to perfectly compatible and flexibly combinable components and additional options.
Reliable application
thanks to a reliable operating performance, even under extreme operating and ambient conditions.
Bucket wheel excavators have to be able to operate at full capacity – even under extreme conditions. As a result, the machines are often even designed to operate at temperatures of up to -45°C.
The drive technology has to be just as powerful and reliable as the bucket wheel excavators. Our P series industrial planetary gear units and X series bevel-helical gear units are particularly robust and are ideal for driving bucket wheel excavators. Their housing has additional surface protection to deal with even the most adverse ambient conditions.
They have also proven themselves in practice: as one of the leading manufacturers of industrial gear unit solutions, we have extensive experience in providing the right equipment for large machinery.
Our drive solution for bucket wheel excavators combines a P series planetary gear unit with an X series bevel-helical gear unit. The solution comprises the following features:
The main area of application of bucket wheel excavators is overburden removal in the mining sector, such as lignite mining.
