not limited by the size of gearbox available, thus eliminating<br />
the necessity to install multi-motor drives. The power<br />
required to drive a belt can be provided by just one drive<br />
per belt pulley. This enables the size of the electrical room<br />
to be reduced, saving space <strong>and</strong> weight.<br />
The elimination of a whole series of mechanical <strong>and</strong><br />
electrical components increases the reliability <strong>and</strong><br />
efficiency of the overall system by between three <strong>and</strong><br />
four percent. The maintenance requirements of the drive<br />
system are also substantially lower. Gearbox maintenance<br />
work alone can amount to up to five percent of the o<strong>rig</strong>inal<br />
investment volume – each year. Lubrication <strong>and</strong> gearbox<br />
cooling systems, together with their maintenance, are also<br />
obsoleted <strong>for</strong> this solution.<br />
The gearless drive system <strong>for</strong> the Overl<strong>and</strong> Conveyor<br />
System in the Antapaccay mine is the second of its type.<br />
The first conveyor system to run with gearless drives was<br />
installed in 1986 by ThyssenKrupp (<strong>for</strong>merly O&K) <strong>and</strong><br />
Siemens in the Prosper-Haniel Mine belonging to Deutsche<br />
Steinkohle AG, <strong>and</strong> it achieves an availability of over 98<br />
percent.<br />
