Celebrating its eighty-fifth anniversary this year, Germany-based SEW-Eurodrive will unveil a range of new products at Electra Mining Africa, where the company has had a presence since the 1980s.

New products to be unveiled include the new DRN series of asynchronous motors, which comply with the requirements for European energy efficiency class IE3. The new motor range is fully downward-compatible with all SEW-Eurodrive’s existing products.

Another new product is the X-series agitator, which is based on a modular concept that incorporates many parts from the standard product platform. Its features include an integrated extended bearing distance (moderate or heavy duty), integrated dry well sealing and pressure lubrication and a thermally-optimised housing.

SEW-Eurodrive will also launch its Movitrac LTP-B Eco heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit for mining, industrial and commercial applications. This comprises a total heating, ventilation and cooling solution from fans to pumps and motors.

Citing Electra Mining Africa 2016 as a valuable platform to showcase the company’s ongoing innovation and technological development, SEW-Eurodrive South Africa MD Raymond Obermeyer comments: “We see this as an opportunity to welcome existing and potential new customers to our product range and our brand.”

Commenting on the ‘The Future Starts Now’ campaign that will underpin its presence at Electra Mining Africa 2016, Obermeyer stresses that innovation, tradition and customer focus are the cornerstones of SEW-Eurodrive.

“That was the case when our company was founded 85 years ago, and it still holds true today. Thanks to a range of customer-orientated service modules, we offer our clients added value and measurable benefits. This is made possible by powerful drives, high-quality standards and customised solutions,” Obermeyer concludes.
