Typically, mines are recognised as being amongst the harshest working environments on the planet. Critical environmental conditions, solid contamination (dust) and severe processes are only some of the challenges present in a mining plant. When adapting an individual solution for the mining industry, WEG has the knowledge and expertise to effectively reduce the total site costs and ensure operating reliability.
WEG products allow your plant to be a flexible, safe and reliable installation with operating stability and the highest production levels.
Grinding and processing
WEG offers the most reliable and efficient solutions for milling plants for ferrous and non-ferrous products with their experience of mill drive systems.
In the heart of a processing plant, the ball and SAG mills must be driven by solutions that adapt to the characteristics of the minerals in line with the whole process. Precise, variable or constant speed, high starting torque, different coupling and cooling systems, whatever the needs WEG offers a solution from its wide range of electric products such as medium voltage motors and drives, transformers and switchboards. With the mines constantly reducing the grain size of materials, larger volumes need to be processed. In order to fulfil the demands, the plants must have flexible systems to minimize down time.
WEG offers the right driving system to meet the demands of the major mill manufacturers.
Material handling
WEG offers a solution for different material handling systems from low voltage motors for small and auxiliary feeders through to state-of-the-art systems for conveyor belts, continuous excavators, forklifts and reclaimers.
Efficiency and reliability in water supply automation systems.
WEG supplies solutions to control water supply, desalination plants and pumping stations for mining projects using advanced technology for speed variation; compact solutions for protection against short circuit and overload conditions; reliability and precision in monitoring, operation and protection of electric motors.
With both extensive market and project experience, WEG is recognised and certified and a manufacturer and supplier of speed drives, soft-starters, motor control centres, starting switches, motor circuit breakers and a wide range of products for motor control and protection for pump applications.
