Mining Industry
The mining and minerals industry consists of mines and processing plants using electrical and mechanical equipment for the extraction and processing of minerals.
Mining and cement production places very stringent demands on motors. The specialized motors must be built to withstand the harshest conditions imaginable. Further demands are placed on motors used in explosive environments, so-called Ex d motors.
It’s a global industry that is undergoing consolidation resulting in fewer, but larger, companies dominating the market. These large customers see value in establishing relationships with us as we provide service and product support at their mine sites as well as with their OEMs and EPCs partners.
The demand for mined products will continue to increase while remaining ore deposits will be lower grade, resulting in mines that must be larger and more productive in order to remain competitive. These large operators look for leading edge technology from Brook Crompton, ATB, Schorch and Western Electric to meet their goals of increased reliability, reduced energy cost and increased automation and mechanization. Our proven ability to provide products and services that exceed these expectations make us an ideal partner with global mining companies.
Water treatments Industry
The water industry provides one of our most vital resources right to our doorstep, but the processes that are required to maintain this service are numerous and provide many challenges in terms of efficiency and reliability. One of the most crucial components within the water treatment and delivery process is the electric motor, which along with its associated drive systems, provide the power necessary to keep the cycle in motion. Our suppliers provides improved motor efficiency to achieve lower running costs. It has been estimated that as much as 90% of all industrial electrical energy consumed within the water industry is used to drive an electric motor, making efficiency the highest priority in order to effectively manage rising energy costs. However, with water treatment a truly 24 hour process, reliability in a challenging environment is another key factor.
The high efficiency level of the motors will benefit end users through energy savings, which is a very important point in Australia. So motor efficiency is of paramount importance – especially in water treatments industries. The use of variable speed drives with motor further enhances the energy savings, enables utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impacts.
Air Conditioning Industry
Air conditioners provide a space conditioning service to improve the thermal comfort of an indoor space: such as a room, entire home or larger complex.
Air conditioners are also used in commercial and industrial buildings such as offices, shopping centres and manufacturing premises.
Larger three phase air conditioners that are normally used in non-residential situations have been regulated for MEPS since 2001. They require a three phase power supply and are generally used for models with larger heating/cooling capacity.
Three phase electric power is a common method of alternating current electric power generation, transmission, and distribution. It is the most common method used by electrical grids worldwide to transfer power and is used to power large motors and other heavy loads.
Brook Crompton, Schorch, Witton Kramer, Western Electric and ATB have a comprehensive range of low, medium & high voltage three phase electric motors for safe & hazardous duty designed to provide cost effective, energy-saving solutions across a range of industrial processes and our drives packages can provide assured efficiency and reliability in a user-friendly variable speed drive system and reduce environmental impact.
Processing and Manufactoring Sector
Several different types of electric motors have been developed to address the needs of various manufacturing processes.
Variable-Frequency Drives
When your application requires control over the speed and torque of an AC motor, a variable-frequency drive (VFD) may be the right choice. The primary advantage of this type of drive is that it saves energy compared to alternatives that cannot adjust to output needs as efficiently.
Pumps, compressors, conveyor belts or machining equipment where the output must be varied are examples of typical VFD applications. While the efficiency wins are big with these innovative drives, they have not yet achieved the market penetration of more widely used drives, such as servos.
Electric Servos
Even if you don’t work in the manufacturing sector, you’ve probably encountered the term “servo” at some point. These little guys have been around since World War II.
Servos use brushless electric motors and are effective in applications where speeds of over 2,000 RPMs are required. Servo motors can take subtle inputs from computer sensors and controllers, which makes them perfect for precision tasks, like CNC machining, or as part of a sub-assembly process on a mechanized production line.
Stepper Motors
In applications that don’t require high RPMs, a stepper motor might be the most cost-effective way to get the job done. These typically small and straightforward brushless motors are ideal for processes that require repeatable steps because of their ability to output at any number of various speeds. You can find these types of motors in hard disk drives, plotters and camera equipment.
Stepper motors offer excellent low-speed torque and can control the speed of their output shaft in exact steps. They do lose some ground to DC motors when it comes to energy consumption, which is why they are favored in smaller applications. More advanced designs tend to outperform steppers in high-speed torque and they can run hot.
DC Motors
Direct current (DC) motors are competitive with their servo cousins in their ability to produce high-RPM torque. However, they are not limited by angle and are therefore simpler. DC motors are controlled using pulsed power and will spin until the power is cut. They are common in simple applications like computer fans and for powering your favorite radio-controlled car.
These are some of the simplest electric motors you will find. As a result, they’re cheap and are best suited for basic manufacturing applications. DC motors can provide relatively high torque and are available in larger sizes compared to other electric motors. This is primarily because of their use in industrial applications where their low cost outweighs the need for the precision of a stepper or servo.
Other Electric Motors
Examples of more advanced variants of these four types of electric motors can be found in any number of very specific industrial applications. For example, vector drives allow for a VFD motor to run with nearly infinitely variable speed.
While electric motors have been a part of the industry for almost a century, they are developing more quickly than ever. Advances in electric motor design, next-generation sensor technology and the Internet of Things are sure to deliver newer and even more innovative motors to the manufacturing world.

History of Brook Crompton
Ernest Brook made his first motor in Huddersfield, UK in 1904 forming Brook Motors, whilst Colonel Crompton had formed R.E.B. Crompton & Co in 1878. The two organisations came together in the 1970s to form the company that is now recognised the world over as Brook Crompton.
Growth through acquisition followed and Brook Crompton today incorporates many well know names from the history of UK electric motor production including Brook Motors, Crompton Parkinson, Electrodrives (itself including AEI and English Electric), Newman and Hawker Siddeley Electric Motors.
Still based in Huddersfield today, Brook Crompton UK hold an extensive stock that can quickly be modified to suit specific needs with technical support readily available.
Establishing its first facility in North America in 1958, Brook Crompton opened in Toronto, Canada, followed by further operations in the USA and the introduction of products specifically designed for the local market.
Present in the Asia Pacific market for many years through subsidiary operations in Australia & New Zealand, a Sales Office in Singapore and a wide number of Country Distributors throughout the region, the local businesses of Western Electric Asia and Brook Crompton were merged in 1992 to form Brook Crompton Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd
Today the Brook Crompton businesses are owned by Brook Crompton Holdings Ltd, a public listed company based in Singapore. The major shareholders of the Group, ATB and Wolong are both significant manufacturers of electric motors and, as strategic supply partners to Brook Crompton enable the company to offer a wide range of motor products.
