Energy-Efficient Solution to Enhance Productivity

At VEM motors Finland, we are proud to support the mining industry with energy-efficient solutions that boost productivity. Our colleagues at VEM GmbH are doing excellent work with innovative and reliable electric motors.

The latest Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for LKAB’s motors for a new conveyor line was conducted at the end of 2024. The solution replaces the old gear-motor system. Two high-voltage permanent-magnet motors of 1650 kW are driven with ABB’s ACS880 drive. With a capacity exceeding 3000 tons per hour, the new system will significantly enhance the productivity of the world-class Malmberget mine.

We look forward to the installation beginning and the commissioning taking place in May.
