SEW-EURODRIVE BeLux moves!

Barely 15 years ago SEW-EURODRIVE moved from Waver to Leuven, today they are moving again to a significantly larger site in Leuven.

SEW-EURODRIVE is a global leader in drive technology and automation solutions. They are known for their innovative products and exceptional service. The company has an extensive range of geared motors, AC drives and decentralised drive systems designed to improve productivity and efficiency in various industries.

Currently, 80 employees support customers in various sectors such as Food & Beverage, packaging and automotive industry, port logistics, metal industry, paper and cardboard and cement industry. With a strong focus on customer satisfaction, SEW-EURODRIVE offers tailor-made solutions combined with comprehensive technical support.

‘The new building with its own assembly workshop allows us to significantly increase local capacity. Combined with our 24/7 service, this offers unique advantages for the customer’ says Bart Nagels, Operations Manager at SEW-EURODRIVE.

Sustainable, quality materials

“Sustainability is an important part of our business principles,” says Thomas De Haes, Sustainability Transformation Lead at SEW-EURODRIVE,” That is why the office was built with quality, durable, environmentally friendly and energy-saving materials.”

An inspiring environment where employees and customers can work together

For Bart Bruyland, Sales & Marketing Manager at SEW-EURODRIVE, the new building is also a meeting place for employees, customers and partners. “Here all parties can work together, creating added value for everyone. Moreover, we can now receive our customers even better” says Bart.

Expanded training opportunities

The new location has more space for training and project meetings. In the larger training rooms, permanent simulation modules can be set up. “In this way, we create an experience for the customer so that they can simulate and test our products and solutions in the field of automation,” says Bart Bruyland.

Own assembly workshop

“Thanks to our own assembly workshop, where each motor, gear unit or gearbox is custom-made for the customer, we can help our customers even faster and more efficiently,” says Bart Nagels.

SEW-EURODRIVE is a family-owned company with 22,000 employees worldwide, operating in 56 countries and with sales of € 4.5 billion in 2023.

01/05/2024 • High-Performance Gear Unit Lubricant made of Sustainable Biomass, for ECO2 version drive

Premium lubricant made from sustainable biomass

GearFluid by SEW‑EURODRIVE is the environmentally friendly alternative to lubricants made from fossil raw materials. Our GearFluid is manufactured using sustainable biomass, which is indicated by a certified mass balance approach. For example, bio-waste and food waste are processed into a high-quality lubricant in a complex synthetic process. The use of fossil raw materials is therefore not required here.

Biological and environmentally friendly

The biomass used consists entirely of naturally occurring organic materials and food waste. No additional agricultural land is required to produce the biomass. As a result, GearFluid by SEW‑EURODRIVE helps achieve better sustainability. A high scuffing load capacity and excellent protection of rolling bearings are achieved through the balanced use of various high-quality additives. This ensures maximum protection under peak overloading of the gearing and reduces the risk of premature bearing failure.

Application

The synthetic lubricants from the GearFluid Poly series were specifically designed for use in helical (R..), parallel-shaft helical (F..), helical-worm (S..7p), helical-bevel (K..7 and K..9), SPIROPLAN® right-angle (W..9), planetary servo (PS.F) and in helical-bevel servo gear units (BS.F). GearFluid Poly is the ideal lubricant for demanding ambient conditions in industrial environments. GearFluid Poly lubricants are available for use in the following gear units by SEW‑EURODRIVE:

GearFluid by SEW‑EURODRIVE is available either pre-filled in gear units and gearmotors shipped by SEW‑EURODRIVE or for order in can packaging units to be employed by the user for servicing and maintenance purposes.

01/05/2024 • The new coating-free drives in ECO2 version set new standards in terms of sustainability and environmental protection

The aim of developing sustainable, coating-free drives is a direct response to the increasing demand for environmentally friendly products. Consideration of the overall environmental balance and the responsible use of raw materials is of crucial importance.

SEW-EURODRIVE has been offering a version without surface coating for very small drives for many years. These drives are largely made of aluminum and have proven themselves in simple environmental conditions. With the introduction of new motor models and the expansion to a large gear unit portfolio, the range can now be significantly increased.

The new coating-free drives in the ECO2 version set new standards in terms of sustainability and environmental protection. The name of the ECO2 version describes the two main advantages: ECOLogical and ECONomical - because the operators are both ecologically and economically advantageous. On the one hand, they protect the environment, but they can also be offered at lower cost.

By dispensing with the energy-intensive painting process and saving on raw materials such as paints and solvents, these drives make a significant contribution to improving the environmental balance. In addition, uncoated components enable easier reuse and efficient recycling at the end of their life cycle

With the expansion of the portfolio of coating-free drives in the ECO2 version, SEW-EURODRIVE is underlining its leading position in the industry and its contribution to a sustainable future. As a customer, you can look forward to pioneering solutions that offer both ecological and economic benefits.
