Optimizing Sugar Solutions

The sugar industry has become the largest agro-based industry in India, followed by Brazil as the world’s largest sugar-producing country. It spans the rural areas of India, providing jobs for over 50 million farmers and their families, therefore contributing to the economic sustenance and development of rural areas. With some deregulation by the government, private players have entered the sector, leading to significant changes in sugar technology. This includes a shift from the conventional turbine drive with a gearbox/open-gear combination to a more efficient electric drive with a Planetary gearbox. We have adapted to these changes by moving from being a Worm gearbox supplier to offering a complete range of big-size Helical and Planetary gearboxes. Apart from this, Premium has been supplying smaller-size Planetary gearboxes, Helical gearboxes, Geared Motors Fluid Couplings, and Worm gearboxes for other applications in the Mill and Boiling house of the Sugar Industry.

In the Sugar Mill application, Premium has mastered the art of developing compact (high torque to weight ratio), reliable, and highly efficient Planetary gearboxes with good starting performance under load. We have already supplied shaft-mounted Planetary gearboxes for individual roller drives in the Sugar Mill application.
