DYMOT together with its standard brands of equipment is reducing energy consumption on mines all over the world.
Governments have already introduced energy saving targets and are putting legislation and regulations in place to ensure they are met.
Dymot winches & sheaves
Winches are becoming more efficient by using the latest manufacturing techniques and gearbox selection with some winches running above 90% efficiency. These purpose built winches and sheaves are fitted with bearings ensuring less maintenance, less power consumption and extended life.
Electric motors
When selecting electric motors our BTS Automatic Systems are paired with IE3 Motors that are top premium efficiency and reduced energy consumption. They also have Class H insulation that is well suited for VFD operation.
Variable frequency drives
Invertek Drives offer lower energy consumption and significantly reduced energy bills with its Optidrive range of variable speed drives. Optidrives allow highly energy efficient control in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications by matching match motor speeds to the exact requirements of each application, saving energy and providing improved control.
Optidrive AC drives can also monitor energy usage with an inbuilt energy consumption meter that allows energy consumption to be clearly displayed and savings to be calculated.
Control Philosophy
Dymot’s control philosophy in controlling the tension is based on torque control over a PID Loop.
So adjustments are made if and when required but winch power is shut off during non-adjustment periods resulting in only standby mode with the PLC, HMI and loadcell powered.
Dymot is continually improving and developing advanced systems in the bulk materials handling and is an exporter of choice to more than 50 countries in the world.
