Plant engineering is the home of the bespoke gearbox. Nowhere else are the requirements so varied, so individual and so difficult to meet with standard products: process plants, conveyor systems, mixing and reactor drives, lifting systems and specialized machinery – every plant has its own drive task, its own operating conditions and its own installation space.

CHEMNITZER ZAHNRADFABRIK is the partner for plant engineers who need a drive solution that does not yet exist – and who do not want to wait for a catalogue.

Typical requirements for the gearbox

• Customized gear ratios, torques and installation space requirements depending on the plant
• Integration into existing plant designs with specified connection dimensions
• Wide range of gearbox types and drive concepts depending on process requirements
• Short development and delivery times for time-sensitive plant projects
• Complete documentation for plant approvals and operator certificates
• High level of in-house production for reliable supply chains without external dependencies
