Downtime due to motor failure of mining and aggregate belt conveyors is primarily due to the rise in oil temperature and decrease in oil viscosity resulting in poor lubrication. VDG developed and patented drum motor oil cooling technology that addresses this issue. VDG’s Oil Cooler System conditions and cools the oil inside the drum motor and maintains optimal oil temperature and viscosity, extending the life of the motor. It filters, conditions, and reduces the oil temperature, averting motor failures and consequent costs, including downtime. The VDG Oil Cooler is supplied as standard for GrizzlyDrive Drum Motors 75 HP and higher.
