Stiefel - External Grate Drive System
Its main advantage is the possibility of immediately being able to replace a failing drive element whilst continuing normal operations. The externally applied force is transmitted through the grate side wall, to the grate step by a shaft. High quality materials are used to ensure the most effective compact drive unit. More available space outside the grate allows the implementation of various cylinder sizes. Therefore, more powerful drive cylinders can be installed instead of the standard ones a particular advantage for wide grates.
The single drive system is the most flexible of all grate drive systems. This flexibility is a key advantage, allowing for a perfectly controlled energy release and clean combustion of the various fuels. Due to the positions of the sensors, and the proportional valves, each grate step can be individually driven according to real-time requirements. Because of multiple drive units, the reliability is dramatically increased, due to the redundancy factor they provide within the system.
