Mining

The Challenge

Mining in the Southwest means operating in some of the harshest conditions imaginable—extreme heat, dust, vibration, and remote locations far from support. Copper mines in Arizona, silver operations in Nevada, and aggregate plants across New Mexico all share the same demands: keep equipment running, maximize uptime, and meet production targets without compromising safety.

At the same time, the industry faces pressure to modernize. Aging motor controls, outdated monitoring systems, and inefficient drives cost money and increase risk. When a conveyor goes down or a pump fails, the impact ripples across the entire operation.

How IEC Supply Helps

IEC Supply has been a trusted partner to Southwest mining operations for over 35 years. Our team brings 100 years of combined mining industry experience—we understand the equipment, the environment, and the urgency when something breaks.

We support every step of the mining process. For mobile equipment and processing plants, we provide variable speed drives, motor protection, and control systems designed for heavy-duty applications. Our partnerships with Danfoss and Eaton give you access to industry-leading medium-voltage drives built for power efficiency and long-term reliability in demanding environments.

Beyond products, we deliver services that keep your operation running. Our factory-authorized VFD commissioning ensures drives are configured correctly from day one, reducing nuisance trips and extending equipment life. Our enclosure modification services help you get panels built to spec and ready to install. And our cabinet climate control service protects sensitive electronics in control rooms and remote enclosures where Arizona heat takes a toll.
