The drive frames of our high-performance systems are an important element of the conveyor. At either end of the conveyor, they provide the mount for the chain sprockets, which transmit the drive power of 2 x 1 200 kW (1,950 hp) at the main drives and 1 x 1 200 kW (1,950 hp) at the tail drive.
Both drive frames are designed so that regardless of the direction of mining, they can be used in left- or right-hand longwall faces.
