INNOVATIVE DRIVE TECHNOLOGY

FOR DECANTERS AND CENTRIFUGES

CENTRIFUGE DRIVES – ZS/ZSP/ZP
 Innovative drive technology
for decanters and centrifuges
Centrifuge drives by Sumitomo Drive Technologies are optimally suited for use in
decanters and screen scroll centrifuges.

A comprehensive product programme with a focus on quality and reliability make

our gearboxes the most commonly used drives for centrifuges. The uses for our
gearboxes span the entire bandwidth of centrifuge applications: from wastewater
treatment to the extraction of olive oil, wine and other foods, bioethanol and
petrochemicals, chemical raw materials and drilling sludge treatment as well as salt
extraction and many other separation applications.

High throughput, low residual moisture in the solid content and exceptional
purity in the liquid content: With our drives you will achieve the best results –
regardless of the processing material.

A differential speed between the drum and scroll is established via the centrifuge
drive. The torque applied to the scroll is transferred at the same time. The flange
housing is connected to the drum and the slow speed shaft is connected to the
scroll. The dynamic balancing of the gearbox also ensures extremely low vibration
levels, even when running the centrifuge at high speed.

In this highly dynamic application, resulting in extremely high centrifugal forces,

safety has top priority. With an all-steel housing, we ensure the stability and
impermeability of the drive.

Even at peak load, you can rely on the overload capability of our drives.

 ZS – Cyclo Line
Single stage Cyclo rotation gearbox

ZS – Cyclo Line. The compact and high-capacity centrifuge drive in a flange design and
all-steel construction.

The eccentric gearbox, based on two or three cycloid discs, allows high reduc-
tion ratios of up to 87:1 in a single stage. This allows for a very compact and
short design. High reserves in the event of overload and few moving parts are
the basis for this rugged and efficient input. The high efficiency is based on the
pure roll-off movement on the cycloid disks and low splashing losses, which re-
sult from the small internal movements of the carrier system. This also leads to
corresponding high thermal operating safety and almost wear-free operation,
even at differential rotation speeds near "0" rpm.

The 14 sizes in the ZS – Cyclo Line provides suitable drive solutions for an
extensive range of applications, from small laboratory centrifuges to large
industrial centrifuges. We offer both standardised solutions for centrifuges
with external or internal drives, as well as customised drives to suit individual
customer specifications.

The drives in the ZS – Cyclo Line are used in centrifuges with a leading scroll.
They are suitable for applications with a constant differential speed (standing
high speed shaft with torque arm or single motor operation with two belts
for drum and scroll) as well as for applications with an adjustable differential
speed (two-motor operation with BackDrive).

The output shaft of the centrifuge drive is connected to the scroll and provides The ZS – Cyclo Line series is available in three

However, it is also possible to integrate the drive within the centrifuge. „ ZS-M – compact shaft-mounted drive
This also includes mounting the main bearing of the centrifuge onto the drive
flange (bearing seat). „ ZS-L – compact high-performance drive

 ZSP – Cyclo/Planet Line
Double stage Cyclo/Planetary rotation gearbox

ZSP – Cyclo/Planet Line. The double-stage, high-load centrifuge gearbox for reduction
ratios and differential speeds with a proven flange design and all-steel construction.

The double stage input uses the reliable, high load Cyclo stage on the scroll
side – i.e. where high torque loads occur. This Cyclo stage has also featured
in the ZS – Cyclo Line series. Combination with a planetary stage enables
exceptionally high reduction rates of up to 348/1. High differential speeds can
also be achieved.

Drives in the ZSP – Cyclo/Planet Line are particularly suitable for medium-sized
centrifuges ranging up to large industrial centrifuges. There are standardised
solutions available for centrifuges with external drives, as well as integrated
and customised drive solutions according to individual customer specifications.

The ZSPN and ZSPV types are suitable for applications with a constant rotation
speed difference (standing high speed shaft with torque arm or single motor The drives in the ZSP – Cyclo/Planet Line are
drive with two belts for the drum and scroll) as well as for applications with an suitable for all types of centrifuges:
adjustable differential speed (2-motor operation with BackDrive).
„ ZSPN – for centrifuges with a trailing scroll
With the ZSPR type, a completely independent regulated drive is also available.
„ The drum and differential speed are adjustable independently from each other. „ ZSPV – for centrifuges with a leading scroll
The advantage: Adjustment and control is made significantly easier.
„ No energy recovery from the scroll motor. The scroll is purely motor-driven. „ ZSPR – regulated drive for centrifuges
The advantage: The drum motor and other electrical components can be sized (four-shaft drive)
down. All that with reduced energy consumption of the centrifuge as well.
