An underground copper mine in Central Asia was experiencing frequent failures in its conveyor drive systems due to harsh operating conditions — including high dust levels, elevated temperatures, and continuous shock loads. The mine’s operators needed heavy-duty Mining Motors that could provide stable torque and long-term reliability without compromising safety or efficiency.
To address these challenges, the company selected Wolong Nanyang Motor to supply specialized motors built for extreme environments. Wolong provided a series of mining-grade high-voltage three-phase asynchronous motors, custom-designed with IP66 protection, reinforced bearings, and high thermal endurance. These motors were tailored specifically for conveyor belts, crushers, and ore hoisting systems.
After deployment, the mine reported a 42% reduction in motor breakdowns, extended maintenance intervals, and a 15% improvement in energy efficiency. Wolong’s motors also contributed to smoother startup and better torque control under heavy load, which helped prevent belt slippage and reduced mechanical wear on connected components.
Wolong Nanyang Motor’s engineering team worked closely with the customer throughout the design, delivery, and installation process, ensuring every motor met strict mining safety regulations and long-life performance expectations.
This project underscores Wolong Nanyang Motor’s capability to deliver reliable, high-performance Mining Motors that support safe, efficient, and uninterrupted operation in demanding underground environments.
