Vertical Mill Drives

David Brown’s range of VMX vertical planetary coal pulveriser gearboxes are specifically designed to meet the rigorous working conditions of the thermal power industry’s mills. Combining strength, integrity and high precision engineering the VMX range offers outstanding performance in handling the large axial loads and overload conditions normally experienced in power generation applications.

• The VMX vertical mill drive range covers all applications from 450kW to 1100kW beyond
• Each model can be tailored to match the requirements of existing mills for easy drop in replacements to minimise disruption and costs
• Readily adaptable for flexibility in exact ratio requirements as well as:
• Input shaft centre height
• Output coupling diameter

• Designed to handle overload conditions
• Case hardened, profile ground gears for greater precision and durability
• Single piece SG iron cast gear case design removes the risk of oil leakage
• Self aligning sun gear ensures effective load sharing at all times
• Labyrinth seals on output shaft and output coupling to prevent dust ingress
