Drives with Lifts

Both Shaft and cage lift assemblies provide the flexibility of keeping your equipment online in the event of process upsets and overloads. Motorized lifts can be activated by the Torkmatic™ torque limiting device or can be controlled by the plant operator.  The device provides visual torque indication.  Additionally, remote indication of lift position is available. Elimination of slip rings, lifting cables, and swing arms provides a clean and compact design with fewer moving parts.

WesTech dual bearing design for shaft lifts allow for upward lifting to break up flocculation islands, or downward pressure to break up heavy concentrations of settled solids on the tank floor. The WesTech dual bearing lift assembly is placed where it is easily accessible and serviceable.

Our cage lift assemblies provide the same compressive and tensile loading capacity as the shaft drive lift with the added torque capacity of a cage drive unit. The cage lift mechanism bolts directly to the center cage and can be raised and lowered without the use of cables. WesTech's unique self-aligning lift assembly provides for load sharing maintaining proper alignment during operation.  With torque capabilities up to four million foot pounds, WesTech cage lift drives provide the flexibility necessary for heavy duty and large thickener applications.
