Rokflo — Innovation in Action

Applications

Keeping your process moving

Rokflo quotes STM gearboxes into Southern African plant — matching the drive to the duty rather than forcing a catalogue unit into the wrong job.

Application areas

SupaVacGearboxes

Sectors

Chemicals

Planetary and high-torque bevel-helical units are quoted for chemical-plant duties such as cooling towers, extruders, mixers, air preheaters and pulpers. Cast-iron housings with protective coatings are specified where wear, vibration and corrosion matter.

Conveyors

Bevel-helical, skew bevel-helical, inline, high-torque parallel, shaft-mounted and worm units for belt, chain and roller conveyors, overhead systems, palletisers and bottle handling — where a drive has to keep product moving with as little downtime as possible.

Lifting

Bevel-helical, high-torque bevel-helical, slewing planetary, high-torque parallel and shaft-mounted gearboxes for bridge and deck cranes, capstans and other loading duties across a range of capacities.

Recycling

High-torque bevel-helical, parallel, shaft-mounted and planetary units for recycling plant — twin paddle mixers, vertical mills, separators, thickeners, biodigesters and optical sorting lines.

Energy

Worm (including torque-limiter builds), planetary, slewing planetary, inline and long-centre-distance parallel and shaft-mounted gearboxes for renewable and conventional energy plant, including turbines, pellet heating systems and solar trackers.

Mining

STM reducers and geared motors specified for mining plant where modularity, durability and service access matter. Rokflo quotes from Johannesburg against the duty, so the drive can be matched to the machine rather than the other way around.

Steel

Long-centre-distance parallel and shaft-mounted units, planetary and worm gearboxes with torque limiters, and high-torque parallel boxes for steel-plant duties such as tube benders, band saws, roller tables, press feeding and pinch rolls.

Fluid

Bevel-helical, planetary and inline gearboxes, plus ESV motovariators, for fluid-handling plant — screw conveyors, tanks, decanters and pumps.

Processes

Sugar

High-torque and combined planetary/bevel-helical units for sugar-mill and refinery work: mills, conveyors, diffuser plants and crystallisers, where compact drives and controlled reduction ratios are needed.
