Permanent Magnet Direct Drive (PMDD) Motor Used in Mining Industry

Case Study

220kW 380V Permanent Magnet Direct-Drive Motor in Ball Mill Grinding

 

Location Huaxi Copper Industry, China
Application Mineral Processing Ball Mill
Motor Type Permanent Magnet Synchronous Direct-Drive Motor (PMSM)

 

Project Overview​

Huaxi Copper Industry upgraded its traditional gear-driven ball mill with a 220kW 380V 187rpm permanent magnet direct-drive motor, achieving higher energy efficiency, reduced maintenance, and improved grinding performance in copper ore processing.

Key Specifications​

Motor Power 220kW
Voltage 380V
Speed 187 RPM (direct-drive, no gearbox)
Efficiency Class IE5 (Ultra-Premium)
Protection Level IP65 (dust & water-resistant)
Cooling Method Water cooling

 

Why Permanent Magnet Direct-Drive?​

✅ ​​20% Energy Savings​​ – Eliminates gearbox losses (5-10% efficiency loss) and operates at ​​>96% efficiency even at partial loads.

✅ ​​Zero Mechanical Wear​ – No gears, couplings, or belts → 50% lower maintenance costs​​.

✅ ​​High Torque at Low Speed​​ – Direct drive delivers full torque at startup, reducing slurry segregation risks.

 

Measured Performance Benefits​

• Energy Consumption Reduction:​​22% lower kWh/ton vs. the old induction motor + gearbox system.

• Maintenance Savings:​​CNY 50,000/year saved on gear lubrication, alignment, and belt replacements.

• Uptime Improvement:​​99.7% reliability​over 18 months (vs. 93% with the old system).

 

Technical Highlights​

• Smart Motor Control​​ – Integrated variable frequency drive (VFD) for soft starts and load adaptation.

• ​​Robust Design​​ – ​​Heavy-duty bearings and anti-corrosion coating for harsh mining environments.

• ​​IoT Readiness​​ – Vibration/temperature sensors enable predictive maintenance​​ via SCADA.
