Reducing Gearbox Costs In The Aggregate Industry

United States Copper Mine - Case Study
Eaton’s Airflex clutches are ready to support full-swing production when an Arizona copper mine is reopened at the end of 2012. Closed since 2009 due to the global economic downturn, the mine will produce copper concentrate to serve the global economy.
Eaton Airflex Ventilated Constricting (VC) clutches transmit the rotary torque from 4,000-horsepower low-speed synchronous motors, which operate six ball mills that grind the ore in preparation for copper extraction.
The Airflex clutches were supplied to the mine by Palmer Johnson Power Systems, an Eaton distributor in Phoenix, Arizona.
“Eaton’s Airflex engineering team designed and produced drop-in clutch replacements and delivered the complete retrofit packages in a very timely manner, which was of paramount importance to our operations.”
