New Plan to Address Major Mining Problems In Cananea

President López Obrador has announced a new Comprehensive Care Plan for Cananea that seeks to provide social justice through the implementation of programs that will improve the quality of life of its residents and address the most pressing mining problems in Cananea, Sonora.

López Obrador stressed that the new plan seeks to deliver justice to the historic struggle of miners in Cananea by providing decent pensions, freedom of association and better access to health services. In addition, the plan seeks to combat employment discrimination by eliminating "black lists", where people and family members who demand better rights are crossed out so that they cannot obtain employment.

High Performance Gearboxes for Winch Applications

In early 2021, Reggiana Riduttori introduced its W Series catalog for the mining, marine and construction sectors. The synergy between compact planetary technology and high lifting performance is the main feature of this new series. The expanded range of sizes bring the planetary winch up to 12 and improves the gear ratios, increasing the flexibility of Reggiana’s products.

 The winning features of the W Series are compactness and modularity, as well as the special composition and treatment of the oil seals that provide greater protection against external agents, ensuring easy maintenance. Planetary winch drives offer a wide range of applications, from small truck-mounted cranes to large ship winches with hydraulic or electric motors, offering the same quality of performance and durability.
