Gypsum and plasterboard production is a process loaded with dust and heat from start to finish: natural gypsum rock is ground, heated in a calcination kiln to remove part of its wa... More Details

Fiberglass and composite manufacturing plants combine continuous glass fibres with resin to produce pultruded profiles, filament-wound pipes, GRP tanks and panel products. On these... More Details

Raising the efficiency class of an electric motor is always an investment decision; but the payback period of this decision changes dramatically with the motor's power and annual o... More Details

Although the word electric motor often brings large power ratings to mind, a significant portion of the motors most used in industry's daily operation are micro powers such as 0.18... More Details

Overland belt conveyors that carry material hundreds of metres, sometimes kilometres, across mine and open-pit sites are one of the most demanding applications in the sector from t... More Details

Geothermal and heat pump plants combine two specific challenges from the electric motor's point of view: transporting fluid at high temperature, and the constant presence of high-m... More Details

Waste incineration and compost plants subject electric motors to several adverse conditions at once: high temperature, abrasive dust, humidity, corrosive gases and a line that runs... More Details

Crane and hoist systems are lifting machines that raise, carry and safely stop a load; motor selection is therefore not only a matter of power but also of safety. A lifting motor m... More Details

Ships and marine facilities present conditions for an electric motor found in no land-based factory: constant salty air, seawater spray, high humidity, vibration and limited mainte... More Details

Furniture factories consist of successive machine lines from panel cutting to CNC processing, edge banding to pressing and assembly. Each machine runs on an electric motor suited t... More Details

Tea and tobacco processing plants are delicate operations made up of withering, cutting, fermenting, sieving and blending the harvested leaf. Their common feature is the simultaneo... More Details

Sugar, starch and yeast factories run continuous-flow processes where any stoppage translates directly into lost production. From processing beet or corn to packaging crystallized ... More Details

Cosmetics and cleaning products factories require a unique balance in terms of electric motor selection: on one side heavy drives demanding high torque such as mixers and homogeniz... More Details

In high-power facilities, electric motor selection is not limited to kW alone; the voltage selection is at least as decisive as the power. A 690V asynchronous motor offers a seriou... More Details

Small-power motors are the most sought-after but also the most confused product group in industry. Micro-power motors such as 0.37 and 0.55 kW are used in a wide area from small ma... More Details

High-power motors such as 160 and 200 kW require a completely different purchasing process from small-power standard motors. A motor in this class is not just a product but a proje... More Details

An electric motor failure in an asphalt plant is never limited to the machine that stops; it means the hot mix line cools down, the burner runs in vain, and the asphalt delivery pr... More Details

Tunnel, metro and highway jet fan systems provide air circulation and exhaust gas dilution under normal conditions; in the event of a fire, they take on a critical life-safety role... More Details

Rubber and tire factories are among the facilities that demand the highest starting torque and the heaviest-duty endurance from an electric motor. When a Banbury (internal) mixer s... More Details

Printing presses and press facilities are applications where precision is paramount in motor selection. In offset printing units, speed stability directly determines print quality;... More Details
