Transcyko Gearboxes For Food Drying

Transcyko manufacture gearboxes that are ideally suited to the challenging environments and heavy duty cycle requirements for conveyor and agitator food drying uses, including sugar, grain & palm oil processing & manufacturing.

Transcyko Gearboxes For Food Drying

What types of gearbox are used in food drying applications?

Classic helical bevel gearboxes are very commonly found in heavy industry, high torque food drying applications. Especially in sugar milling, cooling towers, and agitators for palm oil production. Helical gearboxes can be built comparatively economically on a large scale for high torque applications, and are a logical choice where installation space is not an issue.

Planetary gearboxes are also a common choice for food drying machinery and ancillary systems. Readily available in different sizes and capacities, with multiple mounting and configuration options, planetary gearboxes are a reliable and familiar workhorse for all types of food industry drying and transport systems.


What are the applications of Transcyko gearboxes for industrial food drying?

  • Conveyors for heating and drying tunnels
  • Mixers, scrapers & agitators for cylindrical driers & cooling towers
  • Power units for rotary driers
  • Transport conveyors & elevators
  • Drum drier gearboxes & drive units
  • Fluidized beds for bulk drying

Cyclo drives offer compact and powerful gearboxes that are ideal for food mixing and processing because of their high torque density and shock load resistance. This makes them very reliable for high duty cycles and optimizes maintenance scheduling.

Predictable wear and easy preventative maintenance prevents costly delays caused by gearbox and drive failures. Cyclo drives are also very well suited to high temperature environments and because they can be easily sealed they are also a good choice where chemical cleaning and high pressure washing of equipment is required for hygiene reasons.
