"Flender Power Transmission have supplied a FZG helical gear unit to Foster Yeoman’s Torr Works site in Somerset. The quarry, which produces around 6 million tonnes a year of Carboniferous limestone, operates a mobile crusher which handles an average of 2,200 tonnes/h via a number of fixed and field conveyors."

"The FZG gear unit comprises a H2 SH12 helical gear reducer with a ratio of 20:1 and a torque rating of 86,000Nm. It has an output speed of 74 rev/min and is attached to a Fludex delay chamber fluid coupling and a Rupex flexible output coupling. All are mounted on a specially fabricated baseplate with an input coupling guard on a 300m long, 28m lift field conveyor."
