Aggregates and Building Materials

The aggregate and building materials industry ensures a consistent supply of sand, gravel, and crushed stone for making concrete and asphalt. We at True Gear & Spline Ltd. understand the unique challenges of the aggregate and building materials companies. We manufacture gears and torque-transmission components designed to withstand harsh environments and absorb heavy impact loads.

Challenges in the Aggregates and Building Materials Industry

Exposure to Abrasion: Equipment and machinery used at quarries, stone-crushing plants, and concrete production facilities are exposed to constant abrasion. Low-quality torque-transmission solutions undergo premature wear in such situations.

Continuous Impact: Heavy shock loads and continuous impacts are a normal part of daily operations in this challenging industry. Operational efficiency is compromised when the gears are not designed to withstand such heavy loads.

Harsh Working Environment: Exposure to dust, debris, and the elements is part of daily operations. The gears in use must be compatible with harsh outdoor environments. Consistency and reliability are what’s needed.

Downtimes are Counterproductive: Minimizing downtime is the key to preventing losses and ensuring supply chain continuity. High-performing, durable gears prevent unexpected equipment failures.

Application of Gears in the Aggregates and Building Materials Industry

Spur Gears: Simple yet highly effective and durable, spur gears are indispensable elements of screening equipment. They are also used in conveyor systems and crushers.

Helical Gears: Compared to spur gears, helical gears can carry higher loads with minimal vibration. These qualities make helical gears important for conveyor systems and mixers.

Planetary Gears: These gears are immensely useful at crushing stations. The high-torque and uniform weight distribution of planetary gears help the giant jaw crushers do their job.

Bevel Gears: Bevel gears transmit rotational power between intersecting shafts, most commonly at a 90-degree angle. They are commonly found in bucket elevators, conveyors, and certain crushing systems.
