The new Flender One industrial gear unit
Your plant is just as individual as your company. Anything unnecessary is out of place. You only buy what you need. You don’t want to waste anything. This is particularly important in conveyor belts, mills, pumps, stirred equipment and other rotating equipment applications where gear unit design and thermal capacity can have a huge impact profitability.
That’s where the Flender One earns its stripes. It’s more than just a new gearbox generation, but the successor to the well-established FSG standard gearbox series that had become the grey standard in many industries around the world.
With a market that demands more efficient and faster-to-deploy gearbox solutions, Flender One is as individual as its predecessor, with higher efficiency, which results in lower OPEX. It also features AIQ smart condition monitoring out of the box, ensuring higher uptime than ever before.
Flender Head of Sales, Joe Bruford, said the new Flender One is highly geared toward mineral processing and materials handling applications synonymous with Australian mine sites.
“It boasts a 30 percent higher thermal capacity, 80 percent longer bearing life, and lower weight than its predecessor. It is also available in nearly any configuration and as individual as a tailormade gear unit. The higher efficiency also lowers operating expenses, and with AIQ pre-installed, operators will benefit from less unplanned downtime and can expect to cut their maintenance costs significantly.”
The upcoming multi-stage models of Flender One are best suited for belt conveyors and bucket elevators, whereas the single-stage Flender One is designed for use in pumping, water and wastewater applications.
In conveyor belt applications, Flender One minimises OPEX thanks to its outstanding energy efficiency. Additionally, all Flender One gear units are equipped with the performance optimised METAPERFORM® gear teeth, marking a major step forward in the field of industrial gear units.
“Thanks to its improved roll-off characteristics and even more uniform path of contact, the power dissipation of the multistage gear unit has been reduced by up to 20 percent in comparison with earlier models,” said Bruford.
“Flender One offers gear unit intelligence straight from the factory. With the digital monitoring and intelligent onboard analytical functions, you always have your gear unit and your processes in view, which improves reliability, predictability and ease at the highest level. The system also enables you to avoid damage and reduce unplanned downtime by up to 70 percent, with data and need-based maintenance intervals reducing service costs by up to 40 percent, and service-related downtime by up to 50 percent.”
Since 1979, leading international manufacturer of mechanical and electrical drive systems, Flender, has supplied gear units and couplings that have played an integral role in driving the Australian mining industry forward.
This year, the company celebrates its 125 year anniversary globally, which represents a remarkable breadth of knowledge and experience in which the Australian team draws upon locally. In Australia, Flender has one of the largest install bases of drives in the country, and has expanded its service footprint to cover Perth, Sydney, Rockhampton and Melbourne, all of which are equipped to provide full OEM support, repairs and testing.
