Menzel Elektromotoren has supplied a spare motor to a Canadian cement plant. It equipped the plant with a 4.5MW motor from stock and built an extended shaft.
The new slipring motor had to be sufficiently reliable to replace three existing crusher motors in case of a failure. Menzel fitted adapter plates with mounting holes for all three locations as well as brackets for plug-and-play mounting of vibration sensors for condition monitoring. In addition, the terminal box was fitted with long feeder cables to facilitate the third-party connecting-up.
