Motor Protection Solutions for Mining Industry

Mining

The Solcon-IGEL Group has been providing robust, reliable industrial motor protection solutions to the Mining Industry since 1977.

Designed specifically for harsh environments, our motor soft starters are unique in their ability to endure and to remain highly reliable in the most extreme temperatures and challenging environmental conditions, including temperatures of up to 60°C, 95% humidity and a corrosive atmosphere. The group offers a variety of products for severe, heavy and standard duty applications that include pumps,

ventilation fans, conveyors, crushers, and blowers, for which they control the current and torque of the starting motors.
