Utility chooses latest motors
September 1st 2008 South West Water is now
specifying Siemens
Automation & Drives' high
efficiency Flender Motox
geared motors on all its
sites, as part of its ongoing
drive to improve operating
efficiencies and maximise
asset life.
Flender Motox geared
motors incorporating eff1
motors were specified for
their high performance,
reliability and low
maintenance features. Over
the next few years the
company plans to
replace all of its older
or obsolete
geared motors
with Siemens
units.
Mike Kinsey, technical
support manager
(mechanical-electrical) at
South West Water, says the
utility carried out extensive
assessments over a 12-
month period before
making the selection, taking
into account whole life cost,
value and performance,
including visits to where the
Flender Motox units are
assembled in Bradford. More articles from Siemens Automation & Drives: |
