DROMEC Special Drive Systems in increasing demand for Offshore applications

In the Offshore industry, drive technology is a crucial component of many processes. Recently, DROMEC developed, built, and tested a unique platform drive system with integrated control. This project, featuring three synchronized motors, gearboxes, and chain drives, is a custom-designed solution. At DROMEC, we are observing a growing demand for the development of Special Drive systems.

Trio Drive System

What makes this project exceptional is its emphasis on achieving 100% synchronization among the three drive systems. This precision is critical for ensuring the platform’s safe and stable movement. Each system has a pulling force of 14,000 kg, resulting in a total capacity of 42,000 kg. The holding force of the entire system is even double this capacity. Additionally, the chain drive provides a scalable and cost-efficient solution by utilizing readily available standard components. Thanks to high-quality materials, the system is maintenance-free and highly reliable.

Drive System Control

The complete control system for the drive was developed and thoroughly tested in-house by DROMEC’s experts.

Cees Drost, CEO of DROMEC, explains:
“We meticulously monitored and optimized the synchronization, load, and speed of the drives. Once the system was fully operational, we installed and commissioned it at the customer’s site. This innovative approach also opens up opportunities for other markets. It is an affordable, scalable, and reliable solution for applications
