Infinitum and Alliance Resource Partners are bringing efficient and reliable motors to the mining industry
Motor manufacturer Infinitum Electric and Matrix Design Group, LLC, a technology provider for mining and industrial applications, have announced a partnership to develop and distribute high-efficiency motors and advanced motor controllers for the mining industry. Matrix, a subsidiary of Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. (ARLP), will incorporate Infinitum’s compact, lightweight motor technology into mining equipment for performance validation in production environments.
The patented motor technology from Infinitum is designed to replace traditional, heavy iron-core motors with a system that is 50% smaller and lighter, uses 66% less copper, and consumes 10% less energy. This innovation is expected to provide mining companies and equipment manufacturers with a more efficient, reliable alternative.
Matrix plans to offer the jointly developed products to third-party mining customers worldwide, in addition to supporting installations at ARLP operations. Over the past 15 years, Matrix has provided safety and productivity solutions for ARLP and many other mining companies, extending its reach beyond the U.S. and into other industrial applications.
Infinitum, ARLP, and Matrix have been collaborating since 2022, when ARLP made an initial investment in Infinitum as part of the company’s Series D funding.
