Spare Motor for Sugar Plants
MENZEL ELEKTROMOTOREN has configured a flexible spare motor for one of Europe’s leading sugar producers, which can replace motors of various other makes if necessary. While the customer can basically
employ the three-phase squirrel cage motor in any of its plants around the world, it is, in fact, specifically designed for the sugar beet pulp dryers in four plants in Germany and Sweden.
With a rated output of 1400kW, it
covers the drive power requirements of four
separate systems, ranging from 1000kW to
1400kW. It is designed as a vertical motor
for flange mounting (IM V1 standing or
IM V3 suspended). In addition, an adapter
also manufactured by Menzel enables foot
mounting in a system with a V2 flange. The
motor with cooling type IC 616 meets the
protection class IP55. The customer was
on site for acceptance testing at Menzel’s
Berlin plant.
The modular MEBKSL motor series enables a variety of cooling types and
ingress protection ratings as well as various
mounting options at optimised production
costs. The tried-and-tested design meets high size, performance, cost-effectiveness,
and reliability standards.
