Welcome to the mining trends and technology resource library

Building a climate strategy won’t be quick or easy—but waiting is not an option.

Despite a daunting timeline, zero-carbon mines are within reach if the right solutions are implemented.

As stakeholders pressure mining companies to reduce emissions, operations must monitor their environmental impact and ultimately move toward zero-carbon mining.

As the world gears up for net zero, demand for raw materials is set to soar. The energy transition presents unique challenges for metals and mining companies, which will need to innovate and rebuild their growth agenda.

Machines can now tell you when they aren’t feeling well. The challenge for today’s industrial players lies in applying advanced predictive-maintenance technologies across the full scope of their operations.

In heavy-equipment maintenance, digital and analytics tools are struggling to live up to their promise. Here’s how to help them pull their weight.

In the Industry 4.0 network, the AC drive plays an important role in condition-based maintenance, as it can monitor the condition of your equipment. After establishing a baseline, you can use your AC Drives as sensors to process, store, and analyze data either on-site or in the cloud; and send alerts to those who need it.

Learn how you can convert unplanned repair costs into CAPEX, avoid overtime repair costs, increase peace of mind, and stop issues before they stop your operations. 

Reduce unplanned downtime and improve energy efficiency and savings with an optimized maintenance strategy. With a DrivePro® Site Assessment a trained expert will complete an onsite survey and risk analysis of all your AC drives and deliver one detailed report. Together we will build a tailored plan for future maintenance, retrofits, and upgrades based off your exact needs.

Jon Mosterd of Danfoss Drives joins the Pumps & Systems podcast to talk about variable frequency drives (VFDs) and the shift toward intelligent controls.

DrivePro® Remote Monitoring provides 24/7 access to in-depth drive information, you can monitor equipment, analyze performance, and maintain optimized run-time. 

Energy costs represent 25% – 30% of a mine's operating costs! Much of the energy used is consumed by electric motors. Energy use can be cut by up to 60% utilizing Variable Speed Drives. In this webinar, Steve Brown, Manager, Mining Accounts and Business Development for Turkey, Middle East & Africa, demonstrates how Capex and Opex costs can be saved with Danfoss Drives applications.

Did you know that certain AC drives are designed specifically for the needs of mining and mineral processing plants, coping with extreme conditions, heavy loading and controlling equipment installed a long distance away? Check out the mining brochure to learn more.

Don't get locked into a less than perfect system due to compatibility issues. Danfoss Drives are system independent allowing you to choose the equipment that delivers maximized savings and performance. Don't just take our word for it, see how easy integrating a VLT® drive into Rockwell RS Studio 5000 can be in this video.

The VACON® 3000 is the only medium voltage drive available which accommodates flexible arrangements, straightforward system integration and easy maintenance.

No matter how well you have optimized your plant design, there is always a way to drive down costs even further. AC drives are used extensively for just that purpose, extending equipment lifetime, optimizing processes, reducing maintenance, and saving energy costs.
