Fluid couplings for the Cement industry.

India is the second-largest cement producer in the world, and Fluidomat couplings drive the rotating equipment that keeps it running — crushers, fans, mills and kiln drives in more than 80 cement plants across India and abroad.

Overview

Built for the dust, load and heat of a cement plant.

A cement works runs on a chain of demanding drives — limestone and clinker crushers, high-inertia raw and cement mill fans, kiln induced-draught fans and separator fans that all start against heavy loads and run continuously in an abrasive, high-temperature environment. Fluidomat couplings let motors start on no load, decay the starting-current surge in seconds and protect every drive from overload and jamming.

Variable-speed scoop couplings turn fan and pump speed control into measurable energy savings, while the maintenance-friendly design stands up to the dust and duty cycle that define cement production. Since 1971 our couplings have been proven across the sector with India's leading cement producers.

Applications

Where our couplings work in a cement plant

Crusher drives

Smooth acceleration and overload protection for limestone and clinker crushers.

Raw & cement mill fans

No-load start, fast current decay and variable-speed energy saving on mill fans.

Kiln ID fans

Controlled starts and speed regulation for high-inertia kiln induced-draught fans.

Separator fans

Stepless speed control to match airflow and trim power on classifier separators.
