Centre Drives

David Brown’s design and engineering capabilities coupled with our extensive experience in the cement industry enables us to produce retrofit replacement gearboxes for existing installations that can run trouble free for 30 or more years.

The quality of the design and engineering work guarantees performance under the most extreme and demanding conditions and our gearboxes are better able to cope with the loading spikes often encountered in cement manufacture.

Capabilities

David Brown utilise the latest engineering technologies like 3D cad and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure the work they produce performs to the high standards that we have set over the years and our customers expect from us. Our centre drive range runs from 1,500kw up to 10,000kw but each solution can be individually tailored to maximise the output of your cement plant.

Maximised Uptime

Our centre drives are designed to minimise downtime in the most difficult and harshest of environments and ensure your cement plant keeps on running. Quality engineering and the split torque design allowing for interchangeable parts not only ensures minimised spares holding but delivers maximum uptime.

Easy Installation & Maintenance

Our centre drives are engineered for you, to allow for minimal disruption on installation and easy access for routine maintenance and inspections. The design of the base plates can be tailored to match existing centre heights ensuring our gearboxes are the perfect drop in solution for your cement plant.
