01 / Mining applications

Where TKBS motors run in mining.

/01

Mine dewatering

Continuous pumping from shafts and pits

Deep, dirty and often chemically loaded water, pumped around the clock. TKBS motors run fully submerged at IP68, with materials and seals selected for the water composition, stand-still heating and full sensor monitoring for unmanned duty.

/02

Slurry & tailings transport

Abrasive mixtures, heavy S1 duty

High-density abrasive mixtures ask for low-speed, high-torque drives. The TKBS platform runs up to 24-pole, on VFD across a wide speed range, with wear-resistant sealing configurations for continuous slurry service.

/03

Deep sea sand mining

Ladder and crane mounted, salt water

Salt and abrasive combined, down to 300 m with Type II pressure compensation. The same platform that drives Trident's dredge pump and cutter motors, configured for mining duty.

/04

Replacement in an existing plant

Built around your pumps and foundations

One to one from a nameplate or drawing: foundation, shaft end and connection dimensions stay exactly as they are. Built to spec in 12 to 16 weeks, cables pre-mounted and factory-tested.

02 / Media, materials & delivery

Built for the ground it runs in.

TKBS motors handle nearly all chemical soil compositions: salt, brackish and contaminated water, sulphide-rich and aggressive process media. Materials and sealing are chosen per project.

/01 · MEDIA

Chemical soil compositions

Nearly all chemical soil and water compositions: salt, brackish, contaminated, sulphide-rich process water.

/02 · MATERIALS

Materials & sealing

Shell materials up to stainless and duplex options; the seal configuration is selected for the medium it runs in.

/03 · MONITORING

Protection zones

Winding and bearing temperature, moisture per chamber and leakage detection, routed to your protection system.

/04 · DELIVERY

12 to 16 weeks, cables on

Built to spec with the committed date in the commercial offer. Cables pre-mounted, glands sealed and tested in the factory.

03 / Mining inquiry

Send your nameplate.
Start the retrofit.

A photograph of the existing motor plate is enough to begin. Trident engineering responds with a TKBS retrofit configuration and a delivery commitment.
