Ropeways (Lift-Gear Industry)
Application: Ropeways and ski lifts, such as those from ZF Lohmann and Kissling, are critical infrastructure in the lift-gear industry, operating in some of the harshest environmental conditions. These systems are exposed to extreme moisture, ice, and temperature fluctuations, which can lead to accelerated wear and unexpected failures if not properly protected.
Relevance: ISOMAG’s bearing seals are engineered to offer superior contamination control and lubricant retention, crucial for preventing corrosion and extending the operational life of gearboxes in these environments. Upgrading to ISOMAG bearing seals not only enhances the reliability of your ropeway systems but also reduces maintenance intervals and the risk of costly downtime, ensuring that your operations remain smooth and uninterrupted throughout the season.
Mining Equipment Gearboxes
Application: Gearboxes in mining are used in equipment such as crushers, conveyors, draglines, and grinding mills. These gearboxes must handle heavy loads, shock loads, and operate under harsh conditions like dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
Relevance: Mining operations require gearboxes that are not only durable but also efficient in energy consumption, making high-quality seals and protection critical.
Marine and Offshore Gearboxes
Application: Critical Protection for Large-Scale Marine and Offshore Operations: In marine and offshore environments, particularly in operations as demanding as those on various oil platforms, the reliability of gearboxes is crucial. These massive structures and vessels rely on gearboxes for propulsion, drilling, and other essential functions. The harsh conditions, including saltwater exposure, high humidity, and heavy loads, pose significant challenges.
Relevance: ISOMAG bearing seals and isolators provide advanced protection against corrosion and environmental contaminants, ensuring that these vital gearboxes operate smoothly and efficiently. By safeguarding against the ingress of saltwater and other harmful elements, our solutions help extend the service life of marine and offshore gearboxes, minimizing the risk of costly downtime and repairs.
Cement Industry Gearboxes
Application: Gearboxes in cement plants are used in kiln drives, crushers, and conveyors. They must handle heavy, abrasive materials and operate under high temperatures.
Relevance: The cement industry’s demanding environment makes it essential for gearboxes to have reliable seals that prevent contamination and extend operational life.
Sugar Mill Gearboxes
Application: These gearboxes are used in rolling mills, which are essential for shaping steel into various forms like sheets, bars, and rails. The rolling mill gearboxes must handle high torque and heavy loads as they drive the rollers that compress the steel.
Relevance: These gearboxes often operate under high temperatures and intense pressure, making durability and reliability critical.
Rolling Mill Gearboxes
Application: Apart from the more obvious applications in turbines, gearboxes in power plants are used in auxiliary systems such as cooling towers, conveyors, and coal mills.
Relevance: These gearboxes often operate in high-temperature environments and require seals that can withstand both heat and contaminants like coal dust.
Pulp and Paper Mill Gearboxes
Application: Gearboxes in pulp and paper mills drive the machinery that processes wood into pulp and paper. These systems need to handle continuous operation in environments with high humidity and exposure to chemicals.
Relevance: Effective sealing solutions are critical to protect against moisture and chemical ingress, ensuring the longevity of the gearboxes.
