SEW-EURODRIVE (Pty) Ltd is a leading manufacturer of gearmotors, gear units, motors, components for decentralised installations, electronically controlled drives, mechanical variable-speed gearmotors, and highly engineered drive solutions, in addition to refurbishment and repair and system integration.

It provides turnkey solutions to customers’ specific installation and application requirements. This approach combines outstanding products and service that guarantees the operation and availability of entire drive systems, based on the best German engineering and innovation.

What gives SEW-EURODRIVE (Pty) Ltd the leading edge is not only that it manufactures and assembles its own products, using the latest methodologies and technologies, but its in-depth knowledge of highly technical sectors, combined with its global experience and expertise.

SEW-EURODRIVE (Pty) Ltd is operational in all major industries. These range from materials handling to mining, petrochemicals, oil and gas, iron and steel, sugar, airports, harbours, cement, automotive, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and pulp and paper.

Latest innovations include power packs for mining, which comprise X-Series industrial gearboxes with high- and low-speed couplings, motors and base plates. These preassembled units represent significant cost-savings and reduced downtime, due to the fact that the input coupling shaft with the alignment is already carried out.

Together with a range of electronics products, SEW-EURODRIVE (Pty) Ltd is able to offer the mining industry complete solutions for diverse automation, drive, and materials handling requirements.

The sugar industry represents a major growth area for energy efficient drives to maximise the load and capacity of mills and refiners. It also provides unique drive engineering solutions, as factories require varying options for sugar production. Geared motors are ideal for horizontal crystallisers, filters, clarifiers, conveyors, batch pans and mixers, and packaging.

MOVIGEAR drive systems are particularly suited for the food and beverage industry, with its dual demands of high hygiene levels and energy saving, combined with the need to limit any downtime.
