The fill-controlled fluid couplings type CPC are particularly suitable for heavy duty use on armored face conveyors in the underground mining industry. Thanks to the innovative XL wheel profile, the coupling transfers up to 60% more power with the same installation space. Power transmission up to 1,600 kW is possible. The CPC series coupling is designed to start your armored face conveyor in a controlled manner even under heavily loaded conditions. The coupling provides very high thermal capacity allowing multiple starts. The CPC coupling significantly increases system availability resulting in the highest productivity of your system.
The hydrodynamic circuit of the coupling is specifically designed for your chain conveyor. The coupling limits the torque in the drive chain to a defined maximum value. This protects the chains and all components against damage. The availability of the armored face conveyor increases and the maintenance costs remain low.
The coupling works with water as a non-combustible and environmentally friendly operating media. Moreover, water is always available underground. No additional and cost intensive explosion protection measures are necessary for the coupling.
