Posted on 13 Jul 2016

Eaton will display an expanded range of electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical power management solutions. Eaton’s advancements help safeguard against unexpected work interruptions to provide critical performance within harsh environments. Eaton says it “helps fuel continuous improvement, provides confidence in operations, and keeps people and equipment safe. Its robust portfolio drives energy-efficiency, maximises uptime, and increases productivity at every stage of mining, from exploration to processing, whether underground or on the surface.

“Around the world, mining owners and operators count on Eaton’s experts, products and services to help better manage costs and capital, mitigate risk, work more safely and improve cost per tonne. Additionally, Eaton’s globally certified components offer the ability for one global design with just one part number, enabling cost-effective operation over the total life cycle of the product.”

During MINExpo, Eaton will have products on display from an array of categories:

  • Control and instrumentation
  • Engineering services
  • Fittings, couplings and seals
  • Fluid conveyance management
  • Industrial clutches and brakes
  • LED lighting solutions
  • Monitoring and communications
  • Power and motion control
  • Structural solutions.

Industry-leading power distribution technology designed to enhance safety, including Eaton’s FlashGard® arc-resistant Motor Control Centers (MCCs), the first solution to combine arcpreventative and arc-resistant technology within a single motor control centre will be featured.

The solution is designed to emphasise prevention, insulation and isolation to support safety during routine maintenance operations.

Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds® series lighting technology improves cost and energy efficiency, providing a comprehensive range of rugged products and solutions to help deliver energy savings; efficiently distribute information, fluids or electrical power; and manage the power to deliver ‘muscle’ in mobile machines—making operations more efficient from exploration to processing.

  • LED applications offer a long life, lowest lifecycle cost lighting alternative with vibration resistance across a comprehensive range of applications, delivering significantly reduced energy consumption
  • Champ® Pro Series hi-lumen LED floodlights are designed with energy-efficient technology for up to 65% energy savings over HID fixtures. Champ floodlights provide up to 100,000 hours of life, eliminating the need for frequent lamp replacement. High efficiency drivers and LEDs provide 100 LPW output for reliable, low cost operation
  • Eaton’s SC9000™ medium-voltage adjustable frequency drive platform includes the industry’s first arc-resistant drive technology as well as general purpose and other drive solutions designed to provide a high power density in a compact footprint.

Eaton medium-voltage drives are able to withstand harsh environmental conditions in industrial environments and are designed to help customers reduce costs, beyond driving energy efficiencies that lowers cost.
