Photo Voith: The 500th Vorecon by Voith is to be used in the
"Cessao Onerosa" oil field, part of the gigantic "pre-salt
cluster" off the coast of Brazil. |
The results speak for themselves: The latest survey taken in 2013 confirms the high reliability of the variable speed planetary gearbox “Vorecon” from Voith. The mean time between failures (MTBF) of the Vorecon is an impressive 48 years, and its statistical reliability of 99.98% is just as notable. This translates into reduced overall operating costs and increased productivity for the entire system. The Vorecon is being deployed around the world The technology speaks for itself and is exciting customers everywhere! Currently, more than 500 Vorecons are in use around the world. Voith delivered its 500th Vorecon to the operators of the "Cessao Onerosa" oilfield, part of the gigantic "pre-salt-cluster" 250 km off the coast of Brazil. Extreme environments such as heat, cold, sand storms, and tropical conditions present no special challenge for the variable speed planetary gearbox. It can even be used in potentially explosive environments. A glance into the future – the new Vorecon
The latest advance in Vorecon technology is the use of two torque converters to control the speed. The dual converters allow the Vorecon RWC-M-D to attain even higher efficiency across the entire control range. Type RWC-M-D Vorecons are already being built. The first delivery to the USA is scheduled for May 2013.
