Gear Boxes an Industrial boon

Gears boxes are compact devices appreciated as a boon of this industrial generation as compared to the previous decades, so are used extensively in various industries. They have been also valued as they directly impact productivity, performance and can handle special tasks appropriately maintaining accuracy.

With the changing industrial sphere, gear boxes have drastically evolved to suit the technological advancements and the complex applications. As these equipments have been used widely in industries, almost all types of machinery are largely dependent on these devices.

They are vital parts omnipresent extensively within various machines; hence if not maintained efficiently then the components of the equipment can improve as well as degrade the efficiency of an industrial environment thus, impacting on both production and performance.

As the gear boxes are compact and have variety of features and functionalities, they are popular in metal, sugar, cement and various other industries. Some of the key reasons for the popularity among specialized industries are elaborated below with specific examples.  

Cement: Mostly gear boxes that can efficiently increase torque within machine engines are used in the cement industry. As there are various machines which deal with grinding, refining and structuring- stones, pebbles, gravel etc. They also help in maintaining a constant speed and managing load. Some of the popular kinds in the cement industry are, Helical, Spur Gearbox, Shaft Mounted gear boxes.

Paper: Robust metal gear boxes made from cast iron, aluminium alloy and variety of other metals are used to structure, cut bails of paper and also in treating paper pulp. Paper industry relies largely on these tools as they are tough and cost efficient.  

Steel: These tools are inseparable as they have been used since the origin of steel industries for various functions namely reducing torque, improving speed and various other factors to improve performance and strengthen the work processes.  

Sugar: In this industry the gears organise the production of sugar which is the premium product extracted by processing the vital elements present within sugarcane which is its sole raw material, available as a natural resource. In this industry the gear boxes align input to generate greater output, thus promoting profitability.
