Mining & Aggregate Solutions
Mining and aggregate operations punish equipment. Crushing vibration, airborne particulate, extreme temperatures, and remote locations demand motors, enclosures, and power systems built for the harshest duty. Applied Control supplies TECO-Westinghouse severe duty and crusher duty motors, NEMA 4X outdoor enclosures, Pfannenberg thermal management, and Rex Power dry-type transformers — all from one source.

Severe Duty & Crusher Duty Motors
TECO-Westinghouse MAX-E1 Severe Duty — IEEE 841 rated for chemical, mining, and high-vibration environments. NEMA Premium efficiency from 1–500 HP.
MAX-HT Crusher Duty — High-torque NEMA Design C motors specifically engineered for crushers, conveyors, and aggregate processing equipment with heavy starting loads.
Medium Voltage (200–100,000 HP) — Custom induction, synchronous, and DC motors for SAG mills, ball mills, large crushers, and mine hoists.
View Motors →Outdoor & Dust-Tight Enclosures
Stahlin fiberglass NEMA 4X enclosures for remote outdoor locations — won't corrode from water, dust, or chemical exposure. Withstands vibration without cracking paint or losing seal integrity like steel can.
Hammond steel NEMA 4 and NEMA 12 enclosures for equipment buildings, MCC rooms, and crusher control panels. Freestanding 1–4 door configurations for large drive lineups.
Stahlin → Hammond →Enclosure Cooling for Dusty, Hot Environments
Pfannenberg DTS 3000 closed-loop cooling units keep dust, particulate, and hot ambient air out of your drive panels. NEMA 4 and 4X options for outdoor crusher control stations. Heaters and thermostats prevent condensation in enclosures that cycle between hot days and cold nights.
Pfannenberg →Transformers, Reactors & Power Distribution
Rex Power Magnetics dry-type distribution and power transformers up to 15 MVA for mine substations. AC line and load reactors for VFD systems driving conveyors, crushers, and screening equipment. Custom enclosures in NEMA 3R for outdoor installations. Seismic qualification available.
Rex Power → Micron →VFDs for Conveyor & Crusher Control
Variable frequency drives deliver energy savings and soft-start capability on conveyors, feeders, screens, and crushers. We pair drives with Rex Power line reactors to protect motor insulation and reduce harmonic distortion on long cable runs common at mining sites.
View Drives →Safety Alarms & Status Signaling
Pfannenberg visual and acoustic signaling devices for conveyor startup warnings, equipment fault alarms, area evacuation, and process monitoring. Ruggedized housings for outdoor mining environments.

What type of motor is used in mining and crusher applications?
Mining and crusher applications require severe duty or crusher duty motors designed for high vibration, dust, extreme temperatures, and heavy starting loads. TECO-Westinghouse MAX-E1 Severe Duty motors meet IEEE 841 standards. Their MAX-HT High Torque Crusher Duty (NEMA Design C) motors are specifically engineered for crushers, conveyors, and aggregate processing equipment with high-inertia starting loads.
What enclosure type is best for outdoor mining installations?
NEMA 4 or NEMA 4X enclosures are required for outdoor mining. Stahlin fiberglass enclosures resist corrosion from water, chemical exposure, and won't crack from vibration like painted steel can. For large drive lineups, Hammond NEMA 4 freestanding cabinets with Pfannenberg closed-loop cooling protect electronics from dust and extreme ambient temperatures.
Do you supply medium voltage motors for large mining equipment?
Yes. TECO-Westinghouse manufactures medium voltage motors from 200 HP up to 100,000 HP in ODP and TEFC configurations for SAG mills, ball mills, crushers, hoists, and large conveyors. Custom engineering — including induction, synchronous, and DC motor types — is available for site-specific requirements.
