Aggregate and mining operations rely on nonstop performance, even under brutal conditions. Electric motors used in these industries endure abrasive dust, extreme temperatures, frequent overloads, and moisture intrusion while powering heavy equipment that operates around the clock. Any downtime impacts production targets and site safety, which is why selecting motors built for severe environments is essential.
Conveyors, crushers, vibratory feeders, dewatering pumps, and various machines benefit from motors that are capable of handling shock loads, wide temperature fluctuations, and constant start-stop cycles. Gainesville Industrial provides electric motors from TECO-Westinghouse and Marathon engineered specifically for these environments, offering high-torque, severe-duty solutions designed for the mining and aggregate sector.
Common Equipment Needs in Mining & Aggregate Facilities
At Gainesville Industrial, we provide motors that deliver high torque, support frequent cycling, and operate continuously under load. Typical applications include:
Crushers and screeners
Belt and screw conveyors- Slurry and dewatering pumps
- Vibratory feeders and separators
Crushers and screeners
Belt and screw conveyors
Slurry and dewatering pumps
Vibratory feeders and separatorsMotors rated for IP55 protection and built with Class F insulation, sealed bearings, and inverter-ready designs offer the best performance in these settings. Both TECO-Westinghouse and Marathon produce motors tailored for harsh-duty, high-demand workloads found in mining and aggregate environments.
