Abstract :
In the cement industry many critical applications like kiln drives, apron and belt feeders drives, feeder breaker drives, reclaimers and excavators drives, inching drives, grinder drives etc. have seen an increased popularity of a direct hydraulic drive as an alternative to electromechanical drives. This paper explains advantages and comparison between various alternative drives based on performance, efficiency, reliability, and flexibility towards productivity
