Reliable Drive Systems for Grain Handling and Peak Season Demands

Drive Technology That Delivers Power and Reliability

Agricultural products go through specialized processes of harvesting, storing, conveying, cleaning, drying, sorting, and handling to ensure that seasonal products reach the processing plants in perfect condition. SEW-EURODRIVE offers drive packages for bucket elevators, screw conveyors, discharge screw conveyors, chain conveyors, tube conveyors, belt conveyors, rotary gate valves, vacuum pumps, and drying systems. Choose from our wide selection heavy industry gear units combined with cutting-edge energy-efficient motors.

Parallel and Right-angle Gear Units

X.e Series gear units deliver reliable performance for grain handling equipment, including bucket elevators, conveyors, and rotary gates. With 23 sizes and modular flexibility, they manage high torque and harsh conditions reliably. For new systems or retrofits, our U.S.-assembled drive solutions offer durability, low maintenance, and long service life to keep grain operations running smoothly.

Screw Conveyor Drives

SEW‑EURODRIVE’s screw conveyor drive is built for grain handling and bulk material systems. With four-stage sealing, heavy-duty taper bearings, and thrust-load capacity, it protects against dust and contamination while delivering reliable performance. Tool-free shaft removal and flexible mounting make it ideal for high-load, high-duty environments in agriculture and feed processing.

Standard Gearmotors and Gear Units

SEW‑EURODRIVE’s standard gearmotors combine high efficiency and rugged design for conveyors, mixers, and elevators in grain handling. With compact footprints, multiple mounting options, and a wide range of torque and speed combinations, they offer reliable, low-maintenance operation in dusty, demanding environments. Engineered for continuous duty and easy integration into bulk material systems.

DRN.. series motors

SEW‑EURODRIVE’s DRN.. Series motors deliver the high torque and reliability needed for grain conveyors, bucket elevators, and high-inertia loads. The DRN355 offers up to 500 HP in a compact, rigid housing with global IE3 compliance and modular compatibility. Ideal for dusty, demanding environments, it pairs seamlessly with SEW-EURODRIVE gear units and cooling systems for heavy agricultural duty.

DRM../DR2M.. series torque motors

SEW‑EURODRIVE’s DRM../DR2M.. torque motors provide reliable stall torque for demanding grain handling equipment like rotary gates, valves, and positioning drives. Designed for continuous torque at standstill, these motors operate safely under high load, resist thermal overload, and integrate seamlessly with SEW-EURODRIVE’s modular system, making them ideal for bulk material control in elevators, conveyors, and silo systems.
