From the new ECDriveS® 24 V drive system for light-load conveyor technology, to its latest DRN series of IE3-compliant motors, and the customised LTP-B Eco Drive for pump and fan control in a range of niche sectors from HVAC to underground mining, SEW-EURODRIVE South Africa will have a major presence at bauma CONEXPO Africa 2018.

National Sales Manager Norman Maleka comments: “Our aim is to offer complete solutions, as opposed to simply being a component supplier. Our expertise, experience, and extensive project track record stand us in good stead in this regard.”

Describing bauma CONEXPO Africa 2018 as an ideal platform to target potential end users of its diverse products, in a wide range of industrial sectors, Maleka says that visitors to the SEW-EURODRIVE stand will be able to see its latest products in action, including a mini conveyor set-up and transfer station.
