NEW INDUSTRIAL GEAR


UNITS IN FIVE DAYS OR LESS T


SEW Eurodrive has launched a rapid new service providing delivery of industrial gear units within five working days, or as fast as just one working day in the case of emergencies


he two new Assemble-To-Order services, are ATO5, for the five working day


service, and ATO1 for the premium one day service. Both are available with SEW Eurodrive’s tried and tested modular system of industrial gear units. This includes the company’s range of


standard Generation X.e helical and bevel helical industrial gear units, up to 45kNm, and the standard P Series of planetary gear units up to 360kNm with almost all options. From March 2021 this will be expanded to include Generation X.e gear units up to 175kNm. The new services will be of benefit to both


design and maintenance engineers alike. Designers, for example, will benefit with more time for better planning, the ability to finish the design before placing an order, and faster project implementation. Maintenance engineers will no longer need


to store replacement units or components, reducing costs and the need for storage facilities. The new services will result in greater operational reliability too, as ATO1 units will leave SEW Eurodrive’s plant just one working day after receiving an order, making it more like an extension of the customer’s own warehouse. In the event of machine downtime, customers


get access to this entire range of gear units 24 hours after placing an order. Not only does this provide reassurance and peace of mind, but flexibility and operational reliability in an emergency situation. In fact, the UK division of SEW Eurodrive has


recently assembled and delivered an industrial gear unit, for Brammer Buck & Hickman, for an end customer in the sand and gravel industry in just one day following a gear failure. The unit was ordered under SEW Eurodrive’s new ATO1 service that provides assembly and delivery in just one day for situations just such as this. The parallel helical gear unit, from the


company’s X-series range, with additional fan cooling, rated at 36,000Nm, was built to replace a failed unit on a sand and gravel scrubber known as a trommel. The trommel is a large cylindrical drum that


rotates sand and gravel in the first stage of a washing operation that processes material at a rate of 350 tonnes an hour. This is a critical part of the plant and Brammer Buck & Hickman needed a supplier that could quickly respond to their requirements and provide a solution to get the customer back in to production. Taking advantage of SEW Eurodrive’s new


Assemble-to-Order services, with ATO1 being the premium one day service, the customer’s plant was up and running again with minimal downtime. A spokesperson for Brammer Buck & Hickman stated that they were highly satisfied with the service and delighted to be able to get the customer’s plant operational again in record time.

Gear unit ready to be despatched within just one day The latest development is an extension of


the service to include the larger R, F and K units from SEW Eurodrive’s 7 Series range. These units are suitable for heavy engineering applications such as wood, food, concrete and water treatment, etc. Additionally, from March, SEW Eurodrive is


launching another new service, ETO15, standing for, Engineered to Order, that will provide customer-specific modifications such as special output shafts, double keys or special sensor technology. When launched, these custom designed modifications to its industrial gear units will be available ex-works in just 15 working days from orders being placed. Typical applications that will benefit from


the new range of services include the design and maintenance of heavy-duty equipment commonly found in such industries as mining, food manufacture, quarrying, wood, heavy conveying, water treatment and cement plants, etc.
