Abstract :
The time has come to re-think the approach to mill drive motors because of the growth in size of newer ball mills, the starting torque restrictions of some of the newer mill drive configurations, and the softness of some utility services. This paper looks at the serviceability and economics of five different mill motor options to meet these restraints. Some approaches are new, some are old standards, and some, like the Phoenix, have risen from the ashes to return again
