Delivering industry-leading energy efficiency at new iron-ore mine
FMG, Iron Bridge Magnetite
• Located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, the mine is expected to produce 22 wet million tonnes per annum of high grade, magnetite concentrate used for steel production. • FMG required a cost-effective energy efficient variable speed drive solution.
Customer needs
• ABB will provide water-cooled variable speed drives and high voltage induction motors that will deliver industry-leading energy efficiency at new iron-ore mine developed by Fortescue Metals Group
ABB solution
• ABB’s water -cooled drives require less energy and deliver less heat, making it easier to maintain the required 30° C temperature in the eight switch rooms on site. • ABB high voltage induction motors will be used to power high pressure grinding rolls, grinding mills and baghouse fans used to separate the ore from the dust. With a compact footprint that weighs 40% less, the motors are energy efficient, save space and require less structural foundation.
