Moving mountains – with mining conveyor systems
Conveyor systems
To meet worldwide demands for raw materials, underground and open-pit mines are being developed in increasingly remote areas. Every years billions of tons of bulk materials such as iron ore, coal, copper ore, and mining waste have to be moved – powerfully, reliably, and efficiently. Mines subsist on moving raw and bulk material. This makes conveyor solutions business-critical in terms of performance and availability.
Reliable and efficient conveyor solutions
Innomotics Conveyor consists of powerful mechanics and motors, variable speed drives as well as durable geared drives or highly efficient gearless drive systems. All components are highly reliable, letting you benefit from high system availability, low operating costs, and maximum productivity. And we are one of only a few international companies with sufficient know-how to combine all relevant components into a truly integrated overall concept. Seamless interaction between individual components – especially between electrical and mechanical ones – is a basic requirement for safe, optimized operation of a belt conveyor.
Your benefits
- Exceptional durability for optimal uptime
- Low maintenance and energy costs
- Tailor-made solutions
- Gearless conveyor system: fewer working parts to reduce wear and tear
- Entire lifecycle support
Products for Innomotics Conveyor
Innomotics provides belt conveyor solutions for the mining industry, ranging from electrical drives to instrumentation.

We offer a fully flexible and modular construction based on our geared conveyor drive systems available in 25 sizes and with a performance of up to 1,400,000 Nm. Our gearless drive solutions are engineered to deliver reliable performance in challenging applications. They ensure safety and reliability in harsh environments as well as energy efficiency.
Mining conveyor systems with best references
LAS BAMBAS COPPER MINE, PERU
Gearless drive system for overland conveyor
- Innomotics (former Siemens* Large Drives) was contracted to supply the complete engineering, manufacture, delivery, and assembly of the gearless drive stations and to install the conveying system.
- The gearless drive system includes four low-speed synchronous motors (4.4 MW, 66 rpm) and the associated Innomotics SL150 (former SINAMICS* SL150) converters.
- The operators profit from high availability and less downtimes as well as from reduced operational and maintenance costs.
ANTAPACCAY COPPER MINE, PERU
Gearless conveyor solution at 4,200 m ASL
- Innomotics (former Siemens Large Drives) supplied and commissioned direct-drive systems for belt conveyor and grinding mills located 4,200 meters above sea level.
- The motor size is not limited by the gearbox size, thus eliminating the need for multi-motor drives.
- Eliminating a whole series of mechanical and electrical components increases overall system reliability and efficiency by 3 to 4 %.
