Armour face conveyor (AFC) motors have to cope with sudden large loads and need to be able to pull away from standing even when fully loaded. We tailor the electrical characteristics of the motor to suit the rest of the drive equipment being used whether it is a fluid fill coupling or a mechanical clutch.
We are the only company to supply 10kV and 11kV AFC motors removing the need for expensive transformers and giving you the power you need at the face. In addition to traditional AFCs we can supply motors for secondary conveyors as used when using top coal caving (TCC) where the motors are often more tightly constrained by the space availability.
