79 with The CPC 1600 transmits up to 4 MW in peak periods. During its inspection in front of customers, the CPC 1600 proved its function and its effi ciency: a test run in Crailsheim, Germany demonstrated that the coupling meets all aspects of the required performance profi le. In the middle of January, the fi rst CPC 1600 was handed over to one of the leading mining equipment suppliers in China and has since then successfully passed all tests. the belt conveyor and hence protect the belt. In case of a blockage repeated start-ups are possible. The new runner profi le optimises the working fl uid fl ow in such a way that the coupling can transmit twice the power compared to couplings of similar size. While the power transmission is increased by 100 percent, the size and weight of the coupling was reduced by 50 percent. The compactness of the coupling makes the handling of the whole drive package easier. Like the CPC 1600 and all Voith fl uid couplings the power transmission of the belt conveyor coupling is wear-free, which reduces the necessary maintenance to a minimum. For new belt conveyor coupling: 1 Reliable Robust fabricated steel housing 2 Productive Innovative runner geometry 3 Reliable Wear-free hydrodynamic power transmission Bearings L10 80000 h 4 Compact Double working circuit and high efficient profile 5 Easy Direct assembly onto motor flange 6 Easy Simpler control logic and auxiliaries 7 Standard motor 6 or 8 pole motor, 1100 kW rated power at 900 rpm Voith Turbo, the specialist for hydrodynamic drive, coupling and braking systems for road, rail and industrial applications, as well as for ship propulsion systems, is a Group Division of Voith GmbH. Voith sets standards in the markets energy, oil and gas, paper, raw materials and transportation and automotive. Founded in 1867, Voith employs almost 40 000 people, generates €5.2 billion in sales, operates in about 50 countries around the world and is today one of the biggest family-owned companies in Europe. The new Belt conveyor coupling provides a lot of benefi ts. The coupling has been tested for 10 week on a Voith test stand against the most extreme conditions. The offi cial launch of the new coupling will be in September during an international launch event in Germany as well as on the Voith booth on AIMEX (Hall 03, Booth 3411_06) where mining experts around the world have the opportunity to have a look into the technology. The CPC 1600 was tested against toughest conditions on a Voith test bench. A further new development of Voith — also featuring the new designed runner profi le for higher transmission rates at compact housing sizes — is a belt conveyor coupling for open pit applications. The new coupling is especially designed for six and eight pole belt conveyor drives. The characteristics of the coupling are optimised for very smooth acceleration of heavy masses. Start-up times of up to 180 seconds assure a very soft acceleration of 50% smaller coupling The compactness of the new Belt conveyor coupling makes the handling of the whole drive package easier. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _issue 2.2
