Spiral Bevel Gears for the Sugar Industry
Spiral Bevel Gears for Cane Preparation, Mill and Conveyor Drives in Sugar Plants, with Spares Planned for the Off-Season.
A Seasonal Industry
Sugar mills crush cane for a few months of the year and stop for maintenance the rest. Everything has to run continuously during the season and be repaired quickly in the off-season.
Where We Supply
Cane carrier and feeder drives, cane preparation drives, mill drives, bagasse conveyors, boiler feed machinery, and drives in the distillery and packing sections.
What We Recommend
Alloy steel gears, hardened for the heavy intermittent load when the carrier restarts under a full load of cane. Sizes and ratios follow the original drives, and we can reproduce older drives that no longer have drawings.
Order Before the Season
The best time to order spare gears is early in the off-season. This leaves time to make, check and fit the gears before the crushing starts. Related: conveyor systems and gearboxes.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should a sugar mill order spare gears?
Early in the off-season, so the gears are made, checked and fitted well before crushing begins.
Can you match an old cane carrier gearbox gear?
Yes. Send the old gear and its mate, and we make the replacement set.
