Custom design and fast delivery of IM B5 squirrel cage compressor package motor with support foot

Menzel pitch up with yet another quick delivery to UK .
When a customer on the Wirral suffered a failure of a critical 600kw , 6000V , 4pole compressor motor his immediate response was to ask the compressor packager for a replacement .
With a like for like OEM replacement not available in under 30 weeks and his only alternative to hire diesel driven plant at extremely high monthly rentals it was not looking good !
However , one call to Menzel Motors from his Service Partner and frowns turned to smiles as Menzel confirmed they had configured a similar set up for other seemingly captive customers before .
A review of current available stock , a drawing and images showing how the motor would be configured in 2-3 weeks and an order was placed .
Within fourteen days the motor was delivered to the UK site ready to be installed !
