ATEK Drive Solutions stands for tailored system solutions around brakes and gears for chemical production environments – focusing on reliability, process safety, and documentation-capable project execution. Whether mixer drive, conveyor technology, dosing and mixing systems, centrifuges, extruders, or special machines: We deliver not only individual components, but also precisely designed drive solutions – from the first idea through design, construction, and realization to integration, commissioning support, as well as service and maintenance. This way, decision-makers receive a solution ‘from a single source’ that is technically well specified and can be reliably integrated into existing or new systems. The specific requirements of chemistry – corrosive media, cleaning processes, ATEX zones, temperature changes, continuous operation, and high availability – are consistently taken into account in material selection, sealing concepts, surfaces, lubrication, and protection classes. Depending on the requirements, chemical-resistant coatings, stainless steel versions, sealed designs, and plant-specific documentation packages are possible. This creates brake and gear solutions that not only convince in the specifications but also demonstrate durability, safe function, and planable maintenance in daily operation.
ATEK brake solutions for the chemical industry are designed to control drives, hold states safely, and secure them reproducibly when needed. This creates defined, traceable operating conditions for normal operation, service, and malfunctions – supporting the overall system safety strategy of drive, control, and mechanics. Depending on the plant concept, the system can be configured modally – e.g., as a service brake, holding brake, or as a safety function in conjunction with monitoring and control. Typically, the brakes are complemented by suitable controls (electric/electromechanical), defined feedback and monitoring functions, as well as a design-strong mechanical integration. This allows both economical standard solutions and demanding special designs to be realized – tailored to load cases, installation space, driving comfort, and maintenance processes. Braking moment up to 200,000 Nm
ATEK Drive Solutions supports you from design and calculation to complete documentation and acceptance of your brake and gear solution. If desired, we consider ATEX requirements, create application-related design documents, and assist in integrating into your safety and control architecture. Tests and preliminary acceptances can contribute to risk reduction – depending on the project – and make the commissioning more predictable. Various integration and service options are possible in execution, such as corrosion-resistant materials, special surfaces, sealed designs, as well as monitoring functions for brake status, temperature, or wear. For a quick technical clarification, it is sufficient to send us torque, speed, installation space, load profile, environment (medium/zone), desired brake function (operating/holding/emergency stop), safety requirements, and interfaces – we will promptly come back to you with a structured proposal for the appropriate system configuration.
