Bosch Rexroth — Driving Sugar Industry Resilience with Smart Hydraulic Power

At ISSCT Congress 2025, Bosch Rexroth impressed attendees with its advanced hydraulic drive technologies and digital fluid power systems, specifically engineered to meet the rugged demands of sugar mills—from crushing operations to emergency recovery.

Proven Hydraulic Power Under Harsh Conditions
- Hägglunds Direct Hydraulic Drives
Ideal for crushing mills and conveying systems, Rexroth’s Hägglunds motors offer high torque at low speeds, robust control, and modular upgrades—eliminating the need for gears or heavy foundations. These drives have delivered 8–10% milling efficiency gains when replacing traditional pinion systems. - Resilient Emergency Recovery Case: Sunshine Sugar (Australia, 2022)
After catastrophic floods submerged their Hägglunds drive systems, Bosch Rexroth restored full operational capacity within just three months—dispatching parts worldwide, coordinating refurbishment, and deploying cross-continental teams on-site. It extended equipment lifespan by another decade. - Global Deployment in Key Sugar Regions
Hydraulic drives from Rexroth power sugar mills in the USA, Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines—delivering reliability in tropical and high-demand crushing environments.
Industry 4.0: Fluid Technology Meets Smart Automation
- Fluid Power 4.0 Innovations
At Hannover Messe 2025, Bosch Rexroth unveiled its latest digital twin fluid technologies—enabling energy monitoring, predictive maintenance, and sustainability through connected hydraulic systems. - Global Engineering Expertise
Founded in Germany in 2001 and employing over 31,000, Bosch Rexroth is a recognized leader in industrial and mobile hydraulics, linear motion, electrification, and automation.
