The mining and processing industry heavily depends on electric motors to drive critical equipment like mills, hoists, crushers, and pumps. However, these motors face rugged and demanding working conditions, leading to frequent mechanical breakdowns and faults. To tackle these issues, the mining and processing industry requires...

The industrial energy transition and race to decrease emissions is well underway and turning critical targets into tangible change is now at the forefront of widespread planning. By nature, the mining industry is often characterised by its potential to release hazardous elements into the air, water,...

According to the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, energy costs account for at least 15 per cent of total operational costs for food and beverage manufacturers. It is important that harvesting equipment is closely monitored through regular energy audits, so that...

SPE prioritises Australian manufactured products for their stand-out quality. “I’ve been in this industry a long time,” says Manager Rowan Eyre. “Whenever we have used equipment that is manufactured overseas, generally the lead time on parts and servicing is not good enough.” He elaborates that tapping...

Drawing on years of expertise in intelligent electrical-mechanical design, TECO has developed the 510 Low-Voltage Variable Speed Drives specifically to accommodate the needs of heavy industrial applications. Each 510 series model variation (F, A, E, and L) has its own unique capabilities to suit the requirements...

Innovative technology for the remote analysis of mechanical motor and drive systems could mean that the future of motor tech support will be at the tip of the touch screen, according to Steve Hittmann, CBC National Product Manager for Mechanical Drive Systems. “Motion Industries has partnered with TECO to promote the launch of the new TECO MAXe3 mobile app, geared at improving the customer experience when selecting motor and drive systems for various...

As an effort to curb electricity consumption in heavy industries like mining, more and more mines are implementing high-efficiency motors in their processes. CBC’s Mining National Accounts Manager Michael Greelish discusses why products like TECO’s MAXe3 and TECO MAXe3 Premium high-efficiency motors make business sense for...

With electric motors responsible for over 80% of electricity use in heavy industries, it’s a sensible choice for mines to adopt energy-efficient motors of IE3 efficiency level and above. Through TECO Australia, CBC provides a range of high-efficiency motors to the mining industry ­– including the TECO...

When the Eloise Copper mine in Cloncurry looked for a reliable conveyor drive to replace an outdated hydraulic drive unit, the CBC team at Townsville recommended Bonfiglioli HD Series gearbox and a TECO MAXe3 Mining motor as the best solution. Being a remotely located mine producing 50,000-plus tonnes...

Many mines and quarries in Australia are located in remote parts of the country, potentially hundreds of kilometres away from an urban centre. The environments in which these motors operate are extremely hot (reaching 40 to 55 degrees), dusty, and often corrosive.
