Customized asynchronous and slip-ring motor configurations designed to thrive in Chilean copper concentrators, high-altitude tailing pumps, and desalination plants.
Chile stands as a global powerhouse in mineral resources, particularly recognized as the world's leading copper producer and a vital link in the lithium triangle. Heavy industrial operations concentrated in regions like Antofagasta, Tarapacá, and Atacama face some of the most unforgiving environmental conditions on Earth. For operations situated at elevations exceeding 3,000 meters above sea level, standard power systems fail due to air density degradation, calling for highly specialized engineering.
At high altitudes, the cooling capacity of the air is severely reduced, which causes standard motors to overheat quickly. As a premier High Voltage Motor Manufacturer, SIMO designs machines with upgraded thermal thresholds, incorporating sophisticated air-to-air (YKK) and water-to-air (YKS) cooling systems to counteract altitude-induced derating. These engineering solutions ensure your machinery runs uninterrupted in processing plants, slurrification operations, and transport networks across the Andes.
Furthermore, coastal copper processing and desalination plants require robust protection against corrosive salt-spray environments. We implement C5-M marine-grade paint coatings, IP55/IP56 ingress protection levels, and anti-condensation heaters. These design methodologies safeguard your continuous mineral yield from the high humidity of coastal pumping systems to the arid dust storms of the high desert.
How modern heavy duty rotating electrical machines are shifting toward ultra-high efficiency, smart diagnosis systems, and optimized structural components.
Driven by global carbon reduction mandates and soaring electricity costs, industrial operations are transitioning to high-efficiency motors. Utilizing advanced electromagnetic field simulation software, we optimize the stator copper filling factor and reduce rotor slip losses to deliver premier electrical efficiency.
By integrating PT100 temperature sensors in windings/bearings alongside tri-axial vibration sensors, our systems feed telemetry directly to central control systems (SCADA). This permits proactive failure modeling and prevents unscheduled process shutdowns.
High-voltage VFD systems demand advanced corona-resistant insulation systems. Our high voltage motors employ premium Class H insulation with Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) treatment, ensuring reliable performance under high du/dt spikes.

From a state-owned enterprise to a top global manufacturer, LITESIMO's journey spans over 60 years of engineering breakthroughs.
Customized electrical drive technologies tailored for extreme environments, heavy duties, and precise control.
For large grinding processes in Chile, mill drives require exceptionally high starting torque and high overload capacity. The TDMK Series Synchronous Motor and the YRKK Wound Rotor Series provide high performance in torque control under load. The slip-ring configuration allows the inclusion of external liquid resistance starters (LRS) to limit starting currents while generating maximum torque at start-up, preventing power system voltage drops.
Transporting copper concentrates and high-density tailings over long distances and elevation differences requires reliable pumping systems. We supply YKS Series water-cooled motors that run cooler inside protected enclosures, isolating active electrical winding elements from dust and mineral particulate. This yields a longer insulation lifespan compared to standard air-cooled designs.
SIMO has passed ISO9001 Quality System Certification, EU "CE", US "UL", Russian "GOST", and other global benchmarks. Our motors are widely applied in electricity, coal, petroleum, mining, metallurgy, railway, transportation, chemical industry, agriculture, water economy, aviation, navigation, and high technologies.
