SEW-EURODRIVE’s X.e Gear Units: Durable, Efficient Solutions for Demanding Cement, Mining, and Aggregate Applications

Bucket elevator and conveyor operation times in mining, aggregate, and cement industries range from intermittent to continuous use, requiring reliable and available drive solutions. SEW-EURODRIVE’s X.e industrial gear units deliver enhanced durability, efficiency, and customization. Built on the proven X-Series, X.e gear units are rigorously tested to handle harsh conditions. These advancements extend unit lifespan, reduce maintenance, and ensure cooler operation while maintaining the compact footprint and mounting compatibility of the original X-Series. Developed to meet the latest international standards, X.e gear units are tailored for demanding environments, ensuring reliable performance and operational longevity.

Key Technical Advantages of the X.e Series:

  • Customizable Options: 23 frame sizes, torque up to 4.2mil lb-in, and multiple fan designs in one housing.
  • Dust & Temperature Resilience: Radial labyrinth and regreasable contactless seals for durability.
  • Severe-Duty Performance: Engineered for harsh environments.
  • Enhanced Lubrication: Improved oil flow reduces hot spots and boosts reliability.
  • Maintenance-Friendly: Simplified installation and auxiliary gearmotors for safe, slow-speed maintenance.
SEW-EURODRIVE’s X.e Gear UnitsSEW-EURODRIVE upgraded a cement plant’s bucket elevator chain-and-sprocket drive with an X.e Series gearbox and motor, reducing the footprint, eliminating chain lubrication, and simplifying installation with no manual alignment.

In the cement industry, where abrasive dust, high temperatures, and heavy loads are constant challenges, SEW-EURODRIVE’s X.e gear units excel. Designed for critical applications like bucket elevators, conveyor systems, and rotary kilns, X.e units ensure reliable performance and keep production running efficiently.

Key examples include:

  • Efficiency Boost: X.e gear units reduce downtime and improve efficiency.
  • Durability: Severe-duty paint, greaseable seals, and desiccant breathers protect against dust and high temperatures.
  • Small Footprint: Fits into tight spaces and previous equipment’s footprints.

SEW-EURODRIVE not only delivers robust industrial gear units but also provides comprehensive solutions for demanding environments, offering local support and expertise to ensure every system performs at its best. Whether you’re transporting raw materials or maintaining efficient production lines, the X.e series delivers proven performance for cement, mining, and aggregate applications.
