Allison Transmission, a leading designer and manufacturer of conventional
and electrified propulsion solutions, is pleased to announce the delivery of
the first Allison FracTranTM transmissions to multiple industry partners.
Allison’s FracTran is an all-new Oil Field SeriesTM transmission designed
from-the-ground-up to meet the unique demands of the hydraulic fracturing
industry and represents an incremental growth opportunity of $100 million
dollars in annual revenue for Allison’s global Off-Highway end markets. This
next-generation solution is the result of extensive voice of customer
insights, as well as an analysis of duty cycle information from decades of
Allison products operating in oil and gas fields throughout the world.
“The delivery of the first FracTran units marks a significant milestone in
Allison’s commitment to bring our energy customers the purpose-built
solution they demanded,” said Kartik Ramanan, Executive Director, Global
Off-Highway and Service Engineering at Allison Transmission. “The FracTran
will provide the improved sustainability, efficiency and profitability
fracturing fleets desire as they work to reduce their environmental
footprint.”
The robust hydraulic fracturing transmission will deliver unparalleled
performance in high pressure duty cycles in the harshest of operating
environments. The FracTran is designed for high reliability with a service
life up to 25,000 hours and an overhaul designed to provide a second life
without hard parts replacement, resulting in low total cost of ownership.
The FracTran incorporates eight gear ranges, and is available with multiple
gear ratio options to meet the unique performance demands of our customers.
The FracTran is launched with a rating of 3,300 horsepower and 10,000
lb.-ft. of input torque to meet current market requirements. However, the
product is capable of up to 3,500 horsepower with no hardware modifications
required. In addition, the FracTran offers filter and fluid life
prognostics, a transmission-mounted control module, torsional measuring
diagnostics, and an on-rig telematics gateway.
