Energy efficiency - beyond the motor
Energy efficiency is more than just high efficiency motors: gearboxes, pumps and compressors must also be considered, says Mike Smith of the Deritend Group.
Why electric motors fail, and what to when they do
Richard Hale, Managing Director of the Deritend Group gives some pointers.
"A single source responsibility for specification, supply, installation, commissioning - and now accredited repairs for drives that are out of warranty".
"What this means for users is greater security, both in terms of the quality of the repairs themselves, and for their future production - whatever the industry type".
The drive repairs are carried out by five factory trained bench engineers and repair technicians at Deritend's electronics repair facility, which is located centrally in Wolverhampton.
The repair facility has a full suite of test, measurement and ancillary equipment which, allied with the skill of the technicians, enables repairs from the most basic to the most complex to be performed.
These can be at board or component level, in the latter case usually involving the replacement of larger components such as thyristors and capacitors.
"It doesn't matter to what level of complexity we repair to, because each repair comes with a warranty, which is not the case where some repairers are involved", says Hawley.
With drives ranging from fractional-kilowatt ratings up to megawatts, drives can be both cheap to repair or replace, and very expensive when they go wrong, no matter what the size, particularly in continuous process industries.
Deritend offers some insurance against this type of failure with health checks and good advice, as well as a same day service for repairs when required.
