This large fan motor was refurbished by Westin Drives engineers to improve its performance and reliability. The 132kW unit drives a fan from a recycling waste-to-energy site.
The process involved:
Dismantling and thorough assessment of all components
Electrical tests
Balancing the rotor to G2.5
Replacement of bearings and seals
Complete assembly and test run
Repainting and quality checks
