36 electric motors in a freezing tunnel. Here we have a great example of a delivery of 36 customer-specific motors for use in a freezing tunnel that need to be operational on-site within twelve weeks. This example fits perfectly with our motto: Speed, Specials, and Service. They are used to drive both the compressor and the fans that blow air over the cooling fins to distribute the cooled air in the space.
The foundation of the solution consists of 36 Cantoni Motor S.A. motors; a European brand from Poland known for its robustness. Utilizing high-quality aluminum and steel, these motors are suitable for prolonged and intensive use while maintaining a long lifespan. The electronics are also adequately protected to ensure optimal functioning under cold conditions. Due to the temperatures in the freezing tunnel potentially dropping to -50°C and considering the client's operations, various modifications were necessary. Extensive consultations were held with our client to clearly and comprehensively outline the requirements and desires.
RVSteel and IP56 Rating: Firstly, the motor shafts had to be made of stainless steel and equipped with a heating element to ensure reliable and immediate startup even at low temperatures. Additionally, an IP56 protection rating was required.
Fan Removal and Axle Shortening: One of the significant modifications we carried out in our workshop was the removal of the fan and shortening of the axle. In a standard electric motor, the fan is necessary for cooling, but in a freezing tunnel, the temperatures are low enough that this functionality is unnecessary. By removing it, we prevent it from disrupting the airflow over the motor, thereby improving efficiency. Special bearings were also applied, and we chose a lubricating grease that retains its lubricating properties at these low temperatures.
Kolmer Top Coating: Lastly, we coated the motors with our durable and wear-resistant Kolmer Top Coating. This coating extends the lifespan of electric motors under extreme conditions by an average factor of 8.
Speed Specials Service: Fast quotation and delivery from stock of 20,000 electric motors, customer-specific modifications, and 24/7 warehouse service.
