Mining applications demand the toughest machinery. Heavy loads and rugged, dirty environments require impenetrable, high-torque gear reducers to keep operations humming along. That’s why we recommend Falk gearboxes for mining facilities such as Round Mountain Gold Mine in Nevada. Within the mining industry, gear reducers are primarily used to slow down the motors in conveyors […]
