DEPENDABLE & DURABLE FALK GEARBOXES FOR THE MINING INDUSTRY

Any mining operation requires robust power transmission equipment to deliver the torque needed while enduring heavy loads and intense environmental conditions. Any operation will have a variety of gearboxes present at a worksite working together to keep the operation running smoothly.

From product extraction to the final conveyor belt drive, any break in the power transmission can halt the entire process, costing time and money for repairs. Falk gearboxes are designed for the mining industry to confront the common challenges a mining operation can face, including:

• Dust and powder clogging seals, gears and bearings
• Frequent changes in speed causing stress and wear on the gearbox
• Harsh operating environments with factors such as weather and extreme temperatures, reducing the lifespan of bearings and breaking down lubricants and seals

INDUSTRIAL USES FOR FALK GEARBOXES & POWER TRANSMISSION

Falk gearboxes and power transmissions are used in many mining applications. The industry demands strong, tough machinery that can manage heavy loads and harsh environments. An impenetrable, high-torque gear reducer is needed to keep any mining operation running.

Falk gear reducers are the go-to choice for ore conveyor systems, as they are able to deliver powerful torque output with a small footprint. Some Falk gearboxes can be mounted right on the driven shaft to eliminate unnecessary bulk and help the speed reducer fit in the cramped spaces that they often have to operate within. You can also use a concentric or parallel shaft reducer for such systems.

Mining crushers are another key component of the mining industry. These machines require high torque in order to crush large rocks into smaller pieces for processing. This allows for the valuable ore to be differentiated between the surrounding rock. Many crushers use a Falk gearbox or a fluid sealing solution that withstands their operating conditions. These include:

• Jaw crushers
• Cone crushers
• Impact crushers

Falk gearboxes are known for their reliability and their lifespan. They are able to withstand the most punishing environments the mining industry can throw at them, while offering easy maintenance and repair.
