WEG supplies motors for Metso Outotec vertical mills for large mineral processing projects in Brazil
Leading global mining drives and motors company WEG says its equipment has been selected for some important projects Metso Outotec is undertaking at mineral processing plants in Brazil. The equipment package supplied by WEG includes two vertical three-phase induction motors from the Master line, models MGI630 (2.300 kW) and MGI560 (1.600 kW), a medium voltage frequency inverter model MVW3000 and seven 150 hp engines.
WEG said that the orders are focused on the operation of the main vertical plants of the factories in Brazil. Metso Outotec says its Vertimills provide superior efficiency with high throughput and low plant footprint.
“Crushing efficiency, reduced media consumption, lower installation cost, minimal maintenance and minimal liner wear make the Vertimill® the lowest total cost of ownership in many applications, substantially improving the profitability of concentrators. Mechanically, the Vertimill is a simple machine with an agitator screw suspended in the grinding chamber, supported by spherical roller bearings and driven by a fixed speed motor through a planetary gearbox. The capacity of each unit size is relative to the input of energy required for the intended grinding, however, the mills have operated with yields in excess of 500 t/h.”
About Weg
Founded on September 16, 1961, in Jaraguá do Sul, in the municipality of Santa Catarina, with the skills of an administrator, a mechanic and an electrician. WEG was born with a different purpose than today, long before thinking about mining or other operations, the company initially produced only electric motors.
After a period, already in the 80s, Weg expanded its sales market with the production of electrical components, liquid paints, power and distribution transformers and powder and electro-insulating varnishes. Therefore, WEG has established itself not only as a motor manufacturer, but also as a complete supplier in the field of industrial electrical systems.
