Based on existing stock

Menzel Elektromotoren designed a compressor motor for modular installation, taking into account the maximum crane load of 15 tons at the installation site.

The customer, a gas producer, ordered the motor to drive an existing gas compressor. Structural changes to the system were undesirable; therefore, Menzel replicated the characteristics of the existing motor in the new production. The compressor motor's solid substructure is particularly noteworthy. The substructure (3 t), motor (14.7 t), and cooler (2 t) were installed one after the other. Menzel's ability and willingness to accommodate special requests were decisive in the award of the contract.

The medium-sized company built the three-phase squirrel-cage motor based on its MEBKSW series, which is characterized by excellent power density and allows for various equipment options, such as cooling types. The motor has a frame size of 630 mm, a rated power of 6 MW, a rated voltage of 11 kV, a rated torque of 57,995, and a rated speed of 988 rpm. It has an IP54 protection rating and is air-water cooled (cooling type IC 86W). Like all Menzel machines, the compressor motor underwent extensive testing in the manufacturer's load test facility before delivery. The customer was present for acceptance.
