Koepe winders are machines which drive ropes by friction and are especially suitable for the highest payloads at medium and deep depths. 

SIEMAG TECBERG is pushing forward the development of modern Koepe machines in many respects:

  • Construction of machines with disk brakes  
  • Construction of first machines with AC drive  
  • Construction of particularly robust machines with integrated motor 
  • Construction of the first braking systems with redundant fully closed loop-controlled safety brake 
  • Construction of special brake elements with enlarged clearance in durable design 
  • Construction of machines with DC-link converter (PWM drive)
