WEG successfully tests dual-pinion ball mill drive

The products are part of an important order for electric motor drives for eighteen ball mills and semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills with dual and single pinions. Autogenous grinding means that the mining ore essentially grinds itself. Such ball mills are used for grinding and crushing mining ore within a large rotating drum.

Innovative Gear Drive Solution for Grinding Mills

Both the SAG mill and ball mill are each driven by two gear units. Because, on a conventional drive variant, only one engagement per pinion with the girth gear is possible per side, an economic power limit of about 8 MW per drive is in effect. With the DMG2 gear units, Siemens said this limit expands to as much as 12 MW per drive.

Comminution power – geared versus gearless

Bordi: "We are increasing the 'tools in the chest' by offering some alternatives – for example – if the circuit actually needs a 38 ft, 20 MW SAG mill, you now have the option of a 38 ft gear driven mill. At this size gearless drive is a viable option, but it is significantly more expensive and therefore can pose a challenge.
