Motors off to India
September 1st 2008

Efficiency and value-formoney were the reasons Weir Minerals chose WEG EFF1 B3 induction motors for 20 pumps commissioned for a Paul Wurth blast furnace at the Vizag Steel Works in Andhara Pradesh, India.

Operational from 2009, the 3800m3 furnace will be one of the biggest, most efficient and up-to-date in India. The 415V, 3 phase AC motors range from 15 to 315kW and are being used on Weir Pumps in slag slurry, slag granulation, cooling circuit water and recirculation duties via vee belt drive trains.

The six high volume, heavy duty slurry pump sets are driven via a VVF drive to match the duty cycles, while the slag granulation water, recirculation and cooling water pump motors employ direct on-line starting.

Russell Mccabe, field sales manager at WEG Motors (UK), says "WEG motors have an excellent track record in the metal and mining industries. We have good support services in India and are in the process of building our own production facilities."
