End of a big week testing fans of all sizes for the team.

355Kw 2 Pole 3000rpm motor

Customer dropped this one off Wednesday last week, they pulled it out of service due to a high vibration reading. They run two production lines and asked if we could get it back to them in five days as they would be running at 50% capacity entering a particularly busy period for them.

Initial scope: Strip: Inspect, wash and bake balance rotor to G1 spec and replace bearings.

On removing the NDE frame head we found the cause of the excessive vibration was a sheared balance weight. The weight had been dragged across the windings and damaged all NDE cooling fins. We let the customer know our findings on Thursday morning and they authorised the rewind asking if we could still turn it around for the following Monday.

Our customer reached out again on Thursday afternoon explaining the motor on the other line was having issues and they were now running at 15% capacity and could we get the motor back to them on Saturday.

The winding team were more than up to the challenge working around the clock to get it wound, varnished and in the oven late Friday evening. Mechanical team got it build, tested & painted Saturday morning.

We got it back to the customer 1pm on Saturday.

New scope included

Burnout stator and rewind to spec

Repair rotor fins and balance to G1

Machine repair NDE frame head

Full parts clean and refurbish

Two pack paint finish in epoxy paint

TECO 315kW 4Pole 415V

3 of 15 motors destined for the Northern Territory, shaft mods complete, customer wanted these turned around quickly (5 days). Their regular supplier said it couldn’t be done. Most of the time would have been spent uncrating and recrating them.

We suggested by cutting our way in we could turn them around in 5 days including picking up and dropping them back to our customer in Perth WA.

The value in this one was finding an innovative solution to support our customer and getting these turned around quickly. It should never be all about how much money we can make the value on this one was helping our customer getting these out on time. SERVICE first, second and ALWAYS is enough to WIN the day.

This Joy Scraper Winch will be heading back to service in the WA Goldfields this week after a comprehensive overall. The fitted motor tested fine and was refitted once overhauled. We sent a spare new 18.5kw 4p 1000v 50hz 180MC fl**ge mount TECO motor + modified drive shaft to complete the package.
