Gemex Hydraulically Adjustable and Mechanically Lockable Motor Platform

IEC 160-180 H

The Gemex System is a Product which has been developed in conjunction with major Swedish mining companies and is designed to enhance the Maintenance Organisations’ productivity as well as the optimisation of the efficiency of the belt drivers* which are in use in your production area.
(*Motors from 30 kW to 400 kW for belt drives).

Gemex has been well received by the so called: “heavy industry” in the European Countries, mainly because of its high productivity as well as the safe and simple way of operation and installation within your production site.

The Gemex System optimises the efficiency of belt driven units in any kind of Industry like Mining-, Petro-Chemical-, Steel-, Food-, Car-, etc... industries....
 

Hereafter in a nutshell the following advantages of the Gemex System:

1. Gemex System offers important enhancements in your Maintenance Organisation.

• Premature belt breakage’s which are caused by incorrect belt tension, due to corroded tension bolts, which make fine adjustments difficult.
• Externally mounted tension pulleys which causes tears and cracks in V-belts, shortening their life cycle.
• V-belt that cannot be tightened any further, due to corrosion of the treads of the tension bolts.
• V-belt that twist during operation due to poorly aligned pulleys.
• Maintenance and adjustment of units is not done regularly as it is difficult and time-consuming.

 
2. Gemex System and its financial impact which justifies the investment.
• Based on general information: properly maintained and correctly adjusted belts have an expected lifespan of 24.000 hours.
• According to figures supplied by the belt manufacturers, many belt-driven units operate at just 70% of its efficiency.
• This is due to incorrect dimensions, incorrect belt tension or misalignment of the pulleys.
• According to the same source, the optimal efficiency of belt drivers is 97%.

Further to our calculations, a 5% decrease in efficiency, based on 8000 hours operation time, can result in an added energy cost of 125 000 B.f./year for a motor with an output of 250 kW, if we assume an energy cost of 1.25 B.f. kWh. While the Gemex System can easily improve the efficiency of the belt-drive.
 

Taking into account of not only the efficiency of the operation time but also the increase of the productivity of your Maintenance Organisation, due to a decrease of your maintenance interference, the investment will easily be paid in a very short time frame.
