Parallel and Right-angle Gear Units X.e Series gear units deliver reliable performance for grain handling equipment, including bucket elevators, conveyors, and rotary gates. With 23 sizes and modular flexibility, they manage high torque and harsh conditions reliably. For new systems or retrofits, our U.S.-assembled drive solutions offer durability, low maintenance, and long service life to keep grain operations running smoothly. Screw conveyor drives arebuilt for grain handling and bulk material systems. With four-stage sealing, heavy-duty taper bearings, and thrust-load capacity, it protects against dust and contamination while delivering reliable performance. Tool-free shaft removal and flexible mounting make it ideal for high-load, high-duty environments in agriculture and feed processing. DT/DC drives are engineered for grain solvent extraction and desolventizer/toaster applications. Designed for 100–1,000 HP input power, these heavy-duty industrial gear units feature rigid welded housings, optimized bearing support, and advanced lubrication and cooling options. Built for high torque, continuous operation, and U.S. delivery, they ensure reliable performance in demanding processing environments. Planetary gear unit solutions that are built for the high torque and compact footprint demanded in sugar cane processing. Ideal for conveyors, crushers, and mixers, they offer excellent load distribution, modular design, and thermal efficiency. With flexible mounting options and U.S. assembly, they reduce downtime and simplify integration in harsh environments. NEW P2.e Planetary Gear Units: Assembled in the USA, the P2.e delivers high torque in a compact footprint, with optimized thermal performance and flexible configurations. Learn More SEW‑EURODRIVE’s standard gearmotors combine high efficiency and rugged design for conveyors, mixers, and elevators in grain handling. With compact footprints, multiple mounting options, and a wide range of torque and speed combinations, they offer reliable, low-maintenance operation in dusty, demanding environments. Engineered for continuous duty and easy integration into bulk material systems. SEW‑EURODRIVE’s DRN. Series motors deliver the high torque and reliability needed for grain conveyors, bucket elevators, and high-inertia loads. The DRN355 offers up to 500 HP in a compact, rigid housing with global IE3 compliance and modular compatibility. Ideal for dusty, demanding environments, it pairs seamlessly with SEW-EURODRIVE gear units and cooling systems for heavy agricultural duty. SEW‑EURODRIVE’s DRM./DR2M. torque motors provide reliable stall torque for demanding grain handling equipment like rotary gates, valves, and positioning drives. Designed for continuous torque at standstill, these motors operate safely under high load, resist thermal overload, and integrate seamlessly with SEW-EURODRIVE’s modular system, making them ideal for bulk material control in elevators, conveyors, and silo systems. At a high-volume flour processing plant, a bucket elevator suffered catastrophic drive failure, costing $70k per day. SEW responded quickly, engineering and delivering a precision, drop-in replacement in just 7 weeks. Running an archaic chain-and-sprocket drive on four bucket elevators, a leading cement producer was struggling with inefficiency and downtime, costing thousands of dollars in lost production. Sawmill Automation: Going Where Direct-Stop & Hydraulic Technologies “Cant” Exploring the productivity and efficiency gains of outfitting a sawmill’s resaw line with VFDs, Ethernet and other automated electromechanical systems. A municipal wastewater facility faced persistent maintenance issues with its screw-lift drive system, resulting in frequent breakdowns and continuous repair expenses.
