Canada: Germany’s Menzel Elektromotoren has supplied a spare motor for a cement plant in Canada. A new slipping motor was required to replace three existing crusher motors in case of a failure. Due to tight space restrictions Menzel's project manager took the measurements in Canada personally. A 4.5MW motor was selected from stock, an extended shaft was built and adapter plates were fitted with mounting holes for all three locations as well as brackets for plug and play mounting of vibration sensors for condition monitoring. In addition, the terminal box was fitted with long feeder cables to facilitate the third-party connecting-up.
The German motor manufacturer supplies electric motors to end-users. It is also a supplier and partner of drive manufacturers, distributors and maintenance companies.
