Custom Air-Cooled Chiller System for SAG & Ball Mill Lubrication

Supporting ABB’s Critical VFD Cooling in Northern Ontario Mining Operations

In collaboration with Outotec, Berg designed and supplied a central air-cooled chiller system to support the lubrication cooling of both a 7,500 kW SAG mill and an 11,000 kW Ball mill at a mining operation in Mexico. The system needed to maintain oil temperatures for multiple lubrication and VFD units using water-to-oil heat exchangers.

Client Challenges

Outotec required a centralized cooling solution that could:

Berg’s Tailored Solution

To meet Outotec’s need for centralized and reliable cooling across both SAG and Ball mill lubrication systems, Berg supplied a custom-engineered air-cooled chiller and tank package with dedicated process pumps and integrated PLC control.

The system was optimized for:

Built for performance in Mexico’s demanding mining conditions, this solution ensures continuous cooling, protects critical assets, and supports long-term operational efficiency.
