DRAGLINE MOTORS

Mining companies with walking draglines know that the dragline is the "heart & soul" of the mining operation. With a capitol investment measured in millions of dollars and operational costs measured in thousands of dollars per hour, the reliability and the availability of the dragline is often the most critical factor in maintaining cost effective mine productivity.

Dragline motors and generators must withstand one of the most severe duty applications found in all of industry. Cyclic duty, ambient contaminants, vibration, and overloading are just a few factors which mandate the need for the highest quality apparatus being used in this application.

Flanders Electric repairs more dragline motors than any other single repair facility in the world! This vast experience is used to indentify reoccurring problems or "weak links" in the most commonly used dragline motors and generators. Application specific needs for hoist, drag, swing, and propel are also considered. With this knowledge, Flanders Electric has developed numerous repair processes and component upgrades to provide dragline motor repairs of unprecedented quality. Our ISO 9001:2008 procedures ensure these processes are incorporated in each and every dragline motor shipped from our facilities.

The best possible processes, procedures, and materials are coupled with our "continuous improvement" philosophy. Flanders Electric takes no short cuts in our drive to produce the best dragline motors available in the world. In today’s mining environment, unscheduled downtime due to a poorly repaired dragline motor can get very expensive, very quickly. The terms "lowest price" and "least expensive" are not synonymous. Flanders Electric continually provides the most cost effective repairs & upgrades of dragline motors and generators to all our customers.
