Food Industry Gearboxes: Solutions for Mixers

By Alex Malamos|2024-12-03T22:08:26-06:00March 21st, 2018|Application Examples, Product Focus|

Mixing and agitating applications pose demanding challenges for food industry gearboxes. Not only do speeds and loads vary significantly, but they also operate under harsh environmental conditions. Consequently, high-quality components, robust designs, and specialized protective features are essential. We had a customer approach us with a challenge: they needed a robust industrial mixer gearbox capable of converting food solids into semi-liquids, suitable for products like spreads, cheese dips, ice cream, and pie filling. The requirements included two mixer sizes with capacities of 20 and 50 horsepower, operating at a full motor speed of 1750 [...]

Hybrids Drive Commuters

By Alex Malamos|2021-12-27T19:18:18-06:00March 7th, 2018|Application Examples|

With energy efficiency, a hot topic, designing hybrid power plants for vehicles is growing in popularity and cost-effectiveness. But the gearing necessary requires special consideration. We had a customer recently request a right-angle spiral bevel gear design that was to be incorporated into a hybrid diesel/electrical power package to drive a bus. Much like a train power supply, this hybrid diesel bus engine was to drive a generator that supplied energy to electric motors that powered the vehicle. Designing a gear system to achieve this presented several challenges. The first challenge is that diesel [...]
