Perfect drive concepts for more

productivity and efficiency in the
sugar industry
The production of sugar is entailing great expenses.
In addition to high power consumption during seasonal
production it requires above all high operational
reliability and smooth production processes.
With FLENDER drives, Siemens offers you optimum
productivity and best energy efficiency.

Transporting,
extracting, pressing
The different disciplines in the sugar
industry form one unit. It is a demanding
task to integrate them into an optimal
concept, for the productivity of a
plant not only depends on the
performance of its drive units but also
on their co-ordination and control.
A global player and drive specialist
with decades of experience in the sugar
industry is the only one who can have
the know-how and expertise demanded
here.
The Siemens system concept provides the
major competitive advantage for you, for
it decisively influences the efficiency and
output of your plant. It is the commercial
efficiency and the quality of your drive
system that are counting in the end. You
simply concentrate on your business.
This is the least you may expect as our
customer.

Gear unit and coupling solutions

for the sugar industry
With FLENDER drives, Siemens keeps
standard solutions as well as highly
special individual drives ready for you
which have proven themselves hundreds
of times. Owing to their optimized design
and excellent efficiencies, our gear
unit and coupling solutions have a high
potential of energy conservation for the
sugar industry. Our specially developed
drive systems are of space-saving design
for the integration into the production
process.

Sugar beet
FLENDER drives are also used in the sugar
beet industry. The pulp press, for
example, is equipped with up to eight
PLANUREX planetary gear units;
frequency controlled FLENDER gear units
are used for the counter-current beet
cossettes macerator; and MOTOX-N
geared motors are used in the extraction
plant.

Worldwide services by
the gear unit specialist

Totally Integrated
Automation

Increasing complexity and the requirement

of maximum availability of production
plants require interdisciplinary thinking
and acting. Siemens sweetens your
business for you with optimal support by
FLENDER Service. On the basis of broad
industry-specific expertise we keep the
productivity of your entire factory in
focus.

Whether mechanical or hydrostatic

drive concepts Totally Integrated
Automation allows our customers to
optimize the production by perfectly coordinating all automation components,
this having a positive effect on the
production life cycle.

The advantages
Reliability
owing to 24 hours service in combination
with fast assembly and maintenance work and
spare parts availability

Sugar cane
For mill drives, the core of the sugar
cane industry, we provide, among
others, load-sharing DUORED2 gear
units. For the diffuser drive, low-speed
PLANUREX planetary gear units are
used. FLENDER drives are also found on
the conveyor belts, crushing machines,
and turbines used to generate electricity.

Fail-safe
and secure operation thanks to condition
monitoring, condition-oriented maintenance
and telediagnostic systems (GearController)

So we lastingly increase the productivity

of the whole plant in each automation
segment on the basis of a complete
product range with integrated solutions
and full integration.
Starting with engineering and
progressing through the operation,
continuing with the expansion and
modernization the open architecture
of the TIA system is the answer to
automation questions of today and
perfectly oriented to the requirements
and trends of tomorrow.

Availability of the plant

owing to extended plant hours worked, individual
service concepts, repairs and maintenance
