The Siemens Drive Technologies Division has won a deal from ThyssenKrupp Robins to provide the gearless drive system for the overland conveyor system in the Las Bambas copper mine in Peru.
Xstrata Copper (Brisbane, Australia) owns the Las Bambas copper mine, which will be the second Xstrata-owned copper mine in Peru to use gearless drives acquired from Siemens on its overland conveyors. The first Peruvian copper mine that is using Gearless Drives is the Antapaccay Mine, which launched commercial operations at the start of November 2012.
When compared to traditional drive systems, gearless drives not only have increased efficiency, availability, and dependability, but also lower maintenance demands.
The new conveyor system at Las Bambas would start-up in 2014.
ThyssenKrupp is designing and supplying the overland conveyors at Xstrata\'s Las Bambas copper mine.
