Challenges in environmental technology
Environmental technology plants, such as waste sorting plants, sewage treatment plants and composting facilities, use drive components under particularly corrosive and contaminated conditions. Sludge, moisture, aggressive chemicals and mechanical impact loads caused by foreign bodies in waste streams place heavy stress on drive elements. At the same time, regular maintenance is complex and expensive, which is why durable and robust components are preferred.
The continuous operating mode of many environmental technology plants requires reliable drive components that function over long intervals without intensive maintenance. Fast spare parts supply is decisive in the event of service in order to keep downtime short.
WMH Herion supplies robust gears, sprockets and drive elements in corrosion-resistant designs for sorting plants, sewage treatment plants and other environmental technology applications. Coated steel components and variants in stainless steel are part of the range.
The extensive stock programme from WMH Herion ensures that spare parts for common environmental technology plants can be procured quickly. On request, standard parts can be machined to size and prepared for direct installation in order to minimise downtime during repairs.

What distinguishes WMH Herion as a partner?
In environmental technology and recycling, drive components are exposed to extreme operating conditions: abrasive materials, impact loads, moisture and continuous load in shift operation. WMH Herion manufactures robust spur gears, racks and couplings that have proven themselves for years in screening machines, shredders and conveyor systems in this industry. More than 12,000 standard items are available immediately; for special geometries or materials, our custom manufacturing is ready.
Our design and production department works directly with technical sales: short routes, fast answers, no lengthy coordination loops. For you this means rapid availability even for urgent requirements, competent design advice and reliable supply throughout the entire machine life cycle. ISO 9001 certified, 100% inspection of safety-critical components.
Which drive components are suitable for sewage treatment plants and damp environments?
For sewage treatment plants, drive components in stainless steel or with special coatings against moisture corrosion are recommended. WMH Herion supplies gears, sprockets and couplings in suitable designs, on request with reinforced seals and lubricant-free variants for particularly hygienic areas.
Are drive elements with impact protection available for waste sorting plants?
Yes. WMH Herion supplies sprockets and gears in robust designs that are suitable for use in sorting plants with mechanical impact loads. Coarse-toothed designs with an increased tooth root cross-section offer additional safety reserves against overload impacts.
Does WMH Herion also supply complete assemblies?
Yes. In addition to individual components, we offer assembled handling axes and complex multi-axis systems, fully assembled, tested and ready for use.
How quickly are standard items available?
Most items from the stock programme are available immediately and are delivered within a few working days. For custom-made solutions, we discuss the delivery time individually.
