Cement

Reliable power transmission for continuous processes, heavy loads and abrasive, high-temperature environments.

Engineered for heavy-duty cement operations

The cement industry operates under highly demanding conditions: continuous processes, heavy loads, abrasive environments and high temperatures. Gearboxes are critical to reliable power transmission across every stage of production, from energy systems to grinding and processing.

High-speed energy recovery drives at a cement plant

High-speed gearboxes

Typically used in power generation and energy recovery systems within the plant, where efficiency and continuous operation are essential.

  1. Steam turbine applications

    Matching turbine speed to generator requirements, handling high rotational speeds, thermal stresses and continuous base-load operation.

  2. Waste heat recovery (WHRS)

    Using exhaust heat from kilns to generate power. Gearboxes operate efficiently under variable thermal conditions and fluctuating loads.

  3. Waste-to-energy (WTE)

    Supporting turbines operating on alternative fuels, requiring flexibility, reliability and stable high-speed performance.

Vertical roller mill and cement grinding drives

Low-speed / high-torque gearboxes

The backbone of cement manufacturing, grinding and material processing drives engineered for very high torque, abrasive duty and long service life.

  1. Vertical roller mills (VRM)

    Transmitting very high torque with integrated thrust handling for significant axial loads generated during grinding.

  2. Coal mills

    Operating under dusty and abrasive conditions with robust sealing, wear resistance and reliable lubrication systems.

  3. Cement mills

    Heavy-duty drives for ball and tube mills, designed for shock loads, cyclic operation and long service life.

Gearboxes in the cement industry are application-specific and engineered for extreme operating conditions. Their design emphasises durability, efficiency and reliability, making them critical to sustaining continuous production and energy efficiency.
