  • Patent number: 11958082
    Abstract: Method, device and computer program for managing units of bulk material of an ore mine with a throughput of a few tons of bulk material per minute, wherein a material property of each unit, in particular on a conveyor system, is determined, an entry for each unit containing the respective material property of the unit and the position of each unit are stored in a database, and additional includes at least one (i) determining a transport path downstream for the each unit based on the respective entry in the database, (ii) adapting the subsequent processing of each unit based on the material property of the unit, and creating a virtual model of the repository if a unit is supplied to a repository, where a position of each unit is stored, together with its respective material property, in the database.

  • Patent number: 11303171
    Abstract: A drive device for a working machine for heavy industry, particularly for the raw-materials and mining industry, includes a permanent-magnet-excited motor and a frequency converter, wherein the motor has a rotor and a stator, and wherein the motor is a segment motor, in the case of which the rotor and/or the stator is composed of a plurality of segments, where considerable improvement in the availability of the motor is achieved because the motor has a segmented design, whereby the reliability during operation of the drive device is also increased.

  • Patent number: 10252863
    Abstract: A drive for a belt conveyor system includes a permanently excited synchronous motor having a stator and a rotor, wherein a gap size is formed between the rotor and the stator, and a holding device is provided, which is secured to the stator via a first securing device and to the rotor via a second securing device in order to provide secure assembly of the drive, such that the gap size is maintained, where the first securing device and/or the second securing device are detachably formed, such that an uninterrupted operation of the belt conveyor system is guaranteed.

  • Patent number: 9573765
    Abstract: A belt-conveying installation has at least one carrying structure, a conveying belt and at least one drive apparatus for driving the conveying belt. The drive apparatus includes at least one drive shaft, at least one drive-shaft-bearing arrangement, at least one drive roller and at least one independently excited drive motor in the form of a frequency-converter-fed alternating-current synchronous motor with a stator and a rotor. The drive shaft and the at least one drive motor are connected to one another without any gearing, and the rotor and drive shaft are arranged coaxially, each drive shaft being guided through at least one rotor. The belt-conveying installation can be operated and used for heavy industry, in particular for the extractive or mining industry.
