Kavitsu has been supplying planetary gear products for the sugar industry since past 15 years. Our latest design, Mill drives for Sugar industry are an epitome for best quality and reliability. Planetary gearboxes have always been more efficient and have had better mechanical ratings as compared with same powered helical gearboxes, and hence, the planetary mill drives are no different. They offer additional advantages such as space saving, have more efficiency, less mechanical losses and so on.

When it comes to sugar crystallizer drives, more and more people are going towards Planetary drives as their preferred choice over the conventional Worm and worm wheel drives.

The advantages of using a Planetary gear over a conventional gear system are:

1. They have high power density as compared to a traditional Worm wheel arrangement.
2. Due to the higher power density as compared to conventional systems, they are compact. It definitely saves up space and the system looks clean.
3. They are highlyefficientwhen it comes to power transmission. Around 95% efficiency can be achieved using these type of gear drives.
4. They provide greater stability as compared to the traditions arrangement. They can be directly fitted on the shaft of the crystallizer equipment, thus eliminating the usage of couplings.
5. Load is distributed evenly among the planetary gears. The crystallizer drive is generally a combination of helical and planetary drive systems.

Such types of slew drive are perfect for applications that require both load holding and rotational torque from the same gear box. The drives come with an hourglass worm technology, which increase the efficiency of the drives. The difference between normal and hourglass technology is that, in a conventional worm gearing system, only one tooth of the gear is in contact with the worm shaft, whereas in our systems, it can go up to 6 gears in contact.

1. These are sealed and compact drives
2. Incorporate maximum load rating with compact design
3. Depending on the design, come in single or double row ball
