Supporting Baughans with reliable geared motors for recycling machinery
Recycling is one of the UK’s fastest-growing industries, with OEMs under constant pressure to deliver machinery that is tough, reliable, and ready for round-the-clock operation. For over 50 years, Brown GearTech has partnered with OEMs to deliver custom gearbox design, geared motors, and bespoke gearbox manufacturing built to perform in demanding environments.
One such partnership is with Baughans, a British OEM specialising in crushers, screeners, and material handling equipment for the recycling sector. We have worked with them for many years, supplying geared motors designed to keep their machinery running reliably in the toughest conditions.
The challenge
Recycling equipment has to work hard. Crushers and screeners face heavy loads, constant vibration, and highly abrasive environments. For an OEM like Baughans, every gearbox must deliver consistent performance and stand up to long-term wear.
The challenge wasn’t about a single project or technical issue. It was about building confidence that each order, year after year, would meet the same high standard of precision, reliability, and durability.
The solution
At Brown GearTech, our focus has always been on combining technical expertise with long-term support. For Baughans, that means:
- Bespoke geared motors engineered to integrate seamlessly with their crusher and screener designs
- Gearboxes designed to withstand dust, impact, and high-duty cycles common in recycling plants
- Ongoing communication and responsive support to ensure every unit is delivered on time and in spec
As Nichola Adshead, our Sales Director, explains:
“We’ve worked with Baughans for many years, and what stands out is their absolute commitment to quality. Our role is to match that commitment with gearboxes that give their customers confidence in the field. For us, it’s not about one order, but about being a consistent, trusted partner for the long haul.”
“…a consistent, trusted partner for the long haul.”
The outcome
Baughans continues to place repeat orders with Brown GearTech, knowing that each gearbox will deliver the performance their recycling machinery depends on. The partnership has grown alongside the wider recycling sector, ensuring that Baughans’ equipment can keep pace with demand for sustainable waste management.
Andrew Baughan, founder of Baughans explains:
“We’ve always been very happy with Brown GearTech. The gearboxes do exactly what we need, they’re reliable, and we get the service we want. That’s why we’ve kept coming back over the years.”
Building strength in the recycling sector
This case study highlights how long-term partnerships and consistent gearbox supply create reliability for OEMs in recycling and material handling. By combining bespoke gearbox manufacturing with responsive support, Brown GearTech helps manufacturers like Baughans deliver machinery that performs under pressure.
If you’re an OEM in the recycling sector looking for a UK gearbox supplier with the experience to match your ambition, we’d be glad to help.
