Six days instead of six months delivery

18 August 2023

MOTOR CUSTOMERS in the UK appreciate Menzel Elektromotoren’s fast delivery capability. Two recently contacted the German family-run company after experiencing motor failures, which meant that the water supply to 30,000 households was threatened and production in a cement plant was halted.

After delivery times of only six and ten days, respectively, both the pump and the cement mill could be restarted in the shortest imaginable time. Faced with unexpected downtime due to equipment failures, customers often cannot afford to wait for a motor manufactured from scratch – standard delivery times in higher output ranges start at six months.

Menzel has proven a strong partner in an emergency, quickly configuring suitable motor systems for a wide range of high-output applications from its large, diverse stock of motors, cooling units and ancillary equipment – such as the current two jobs for British customers.

The squirrel-cage pump motor has a nominal output of 1380kW operating at 3300V. The slip-ring motor for a cement mill delivers 2000kW at 11kV. Its special features are increased ingress protection rated IP55 and a closed cooling system with a top-mounted air-to-air heat exchanger (cooling type IC 611), ideal for dusty environments and large temperature fluctuations.
