At Electra Mining Africa this year WEG will share its renewed focus on innovation and sustainability.
Eduardo Werninghaus, CEO at WEG Africa, says a strong belief that a more efficient and sustainable tomorrow starts today, will underpin the company’s participation at this year’s Electra Mining Africa. The company will showcase its latest advances in hybrid power solutions encompassing renewable energy and energy storage, as well as its premium efficiency electric motors and drive technology.
“With our continuing commitment to supporting our customers' decarbonisation projects, WEG will update the industry on cutting-edge technologies designed to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprints, and to drive growth and sustainability,” Werninghaus says.
At the show the company will present its hybrid power generation solutions including solar, wind, gas, and diesel-powered options, as well as battery energy storage systems (BESS). With an established reference base in Brazil and other countries around the globe, these WEG technologies ensure a continuous, stable and reliable energy supply.
The WEG team will be on hand to discuss specifics about all the options, and to provide further insight into the company’s extensive experience in providing sustainable energy solutions.
The WEG W23+ Ultra IE6 and WEG W22 IE4 electric motors will also be on display. These motors push the boundaries in energy and performance efficiencies and offer mines reduced operating costs, lower noise levels and increased reliability.
Another highlight will be the WEG MTW05 medium voltage switchgear, which is locally assembled and tested in South Africa for voltages ranging from 2.3 kV to 36 kV. The switchgear has been developed to meet stringent standards, including IEC 62271-200, still keeping its convenience in assembly and maintenance features. It also has the flexibility to be adapted to the different requirements of the market.
“Additionally, Electra Mining Africa gives us the opportunity to engage visitors on our WEGSEE+ platform which calculates potential energy savings achievable by replacing motors, gearboxes, and inverters,” Werninghaus says. “With accurate analyses and strategic indicators, this tool generates valuable data enabling customers to make smart decisions to optimise resources, again speaking to sustainability. It will also measure return on investment periods and evaluate the potential to avoid or reduce GHG emissions.
“With these innovative offerings, WEG continues to set the benchmark in the industry, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and efficiency,” he says.
With its legacy of excellence and a forward-looking approach, WEG aims to make an impact at Electra Mining Africa, highlighting innovative technologies that are key to a sustainable future. Visit WEG in the Red Zone Stand P01.
