With a focus on efficiency, uptime and sustainability the South African sugar industry requires energy efficient solutions for its cane handling, processing and refining procedures.

SEW-EURODRIVE says its energy-efficient drive solutions are tailored for demanding cane handling and processing environments. The company’s core offering to the sugar industry includes its 7 Series R, F, K and S gearboxes, coupled with energy efficient DRN IE3 motors. For high demand applications, it notes that its range of SEW industrial gear units offers the torque and reliability required in critical operations such as cane crushing, conveying and drying.

“Sugar mills operate in harsh, high-load environments where drive system reliability is paramount,” says SEW-EURODRIVE SA KwaZulu-Natal branch manager Cliffton Bridge. “We take great care in selecting the right gear motor for each application, using appropriate service factors to prevent premature failures and ensure long-term performance.”

The company has supplied its IE3 high efficiency motors to the industry for more than eight years, aimed at ensuring that operations meet the latest energy efficiency benchmarks.

In addition, SEW-EURODRIVE’s regional plant in Durban, together with its national network, offers 24/7 technical assistance and rapid turnaround on assembly, spares and service.

“We know how costly downtime can be for sugar producers. That is why we invest in local capabilities to get our customers back online as quickly as possible,” Bridge says.
