$80,000 saving PLUS no emergency production downtime!
A food packaging plant was experiencing ongoing motor failures due to starting amperage kicking out the main compressor motor. Each time the kickout happened, production on the line would be damaged and lost. Not only was the motor kicking out, but significant motor damage was occurring causing frequent rebuilds and rewinds.
It was determined that the amperage being produced by the starter was going beyond the service factor of the 450HP motor and the compressor OEM believed a 500HP motor was needed.
Instead of selling the packaging plant three new motors, the experts at D.I.E determined that the original motors could easily be rewound by our technicians to convert the 450 HP motor to 500 HP and provide the increased horsepower needed to safely operate the applications. It would also mean the customer would not have to perform expensive equipment modifications.
The redesigned motors, with the D.I.EndurLast Global Vacuum Pressure Impregnation system, are operating very well and D.I.E. saved the customer $80,000+ downtime!
