The label ‘made by SEW-Eurodrive’ has become a hallmark of quality in the drive industry. Market-orientated products developed and manufactured in-house, as well as uncompromising quality, are the cornerstones of the company’s success.

SEW-Eurodrive boasts an excellent understanding of customer requirements worldwide. It continues to strive towards its goal of remaining a market leader through constant development and outstanding commitment.

THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL
SEW-Eurodrive has abided by this principle long before it became a common expression. Assembly plants and offices in 50 countries are staffed with specialists from the respective area, combining the technical expertise and services of a global player with the specific insights of a regional partner.

Having established its South African operation in 1986, SEW-Eurodrive locally employs 210 people across four assembly plants in Johannesburg, Durban, Nelspruit and Cape Town, in addition to a service and distribution plant in Port Elizabeth.

The company’s customer base includes industries such as food and beverage, mining, paper and pulp, automotive, chemical and pharmaceutical, construction materials and ceramics, construction, environmental and recycling, bulk materials handling, water treatment, airports and harbours.

SEW-Eurodrive is a Level 4 BBBEE contributor that emphasises social responsibility and skills development. It hosts various training programmes at its Drive Academy in Johannesburg.

NEW PRODUCTS UNVEILED AT ELECTRA MINING AFRICA 2016
Celebrating its eighty-fifth anniversary this year, SEW-Eurodrive will unveil a range of new products at Electra Mining Africa 2016. SEW-Eurodrive MD Raymond Obermeyer highlights that the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) has had a presence at this flagship exhibition since the 1980s. “Electra Mining is the largest exhibition of its kind in Africa. Therefore as a market leader, it is important for us to be there.”

DRN SERIES OF ASYNCHRONOUS MOTORS
New products to be unveiled include the new DRN series of asynchronous motors, which complies with all of the requirements for European energy-efficiency class IE3. The new motor range is fully downward-compatible with all of SEW-Eurodrive’s existing products.

X-SERIES AGITATOR
Another new product is the X-Series agitator, based on a modular concept that incorporates many parts from the standard product platform. Features include an integrated extended bearing distance (moderate or heavy-duty), integrated drywell sealing and pressure lubrication and a thermally-optimised housing.

MOVITRACT LTP-B ECO HVAC UNIT
SEW-Eurodrive will also launch its Movitrac LTP-B Eco HVAC unit for mining, industrial and commercial applications. This comprises a total HVAC solution from fans to pumps and motors.

Citing Electra Mining Africa 2016 as a valuable platform to showcase SEW-Eurodrive’s ongoing innovation and technological development, Obermeyer comments: “We see this as an opportunity to welcome existing and potential new customers to our product range and our brand.”

Commenting on the ‘Success Is Our Drive’ campaign that will underpin its presence at Electra Mining Africa 2016, Obermeyer stresses that innovation, tradition and customer focus are the cornerstones of SEW-Eurodrive.

“That was the case when our company was founded 85 years ago, and it still holds true today. Thanks to a range of customer-orientated service modules, we offer our customers added value and measurable benefits. This is made possible by powerful drives, high quality standards and customised solutions,” Obermeyer concludes.
