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

Case Study

PMDD Drum Motor in Laos Potash Mine Belt Conveyor​

 

Project Background​

Deployed at ​​Asia Potash International’s mining site in Laos, the PMDD drum motor replaced traditional "motor + gearbox + coupling" systems in the conveyor system. The harsh environment (C5-grade corrosion, acidic chloride ions, and high dust) demanded a robust solution.

 

​Key Specifications​

Motor Type Water-cooled PMDD drum motor
Power 200 kW
Voltage 660V
Belt Speed 1.6 m/s
Transmission Direct-drive (no gearbox)
Cooling Integrated water-jacket cooling

 

Advantages Demonstrated

• Energy Efficiency​​

15% lower energy consumption vs. induction motors, critical for 24/7 operations.

Eliminated gearbox losses (typical efficiency loss: 5–8%).

• ​​Corrosion Resistance​​

Special coatings on motor housing and seals protected against acidic chloride ions.

Water-cooling maintained optimal temperature in high-ambient heat.

• ​​Maintenance Reduction​​

Zero lubrication needs (vs. monthly gearbox maintenance).

Fewer moving parts cut downtime by 30%.

• ​​Space Optimization​​

Compact design allowed installation in narrow mine shafts.

• ​​Challenges & Solutions​​

Vibration Control​​: Added real-time monitoring to prevent resonance at low speeds.

​​Cooling Reliability​​: Redundant water cooling unit ensured uninterrupted cooling.
