Drying ovens and winding impregnation

Industrial drying ovens to fully dry damp or rewound motors and impregnate windings for a long service life.

Engineering & customisation

Nothing is too strange, every challenge is solvable

Our value lies in what comes after the catalogue. In our Dordrecht workshop we modify motors to your exact specifications: IP upgrades to IP67, C5M maritime coating, shaft work, mounting conversion (B3 ↔ B5 ↔ B14 ↔ B35), insulation class upgrades, thermal protections and brakes. Per IEC 60034 and IEC 60079 for ATEX.

Protection class upgrades

Upgrade standard IP55 motors for harsher environments, within one working week.

  • IP66 / IP67 / IP68 conversion
  • C5M coating for maritime use
  • Tropicalisation & anti-condensation

Custom shaft machining

Our lathe modifies the shaft exactly to fit your drive line, often within 2-3 working days.

  • Shaft turning to required diameter
  • Build-up (welding + machining)
  • Shortening or extending

Mounting form conversion

Conversion between mounting forms so a new motor fits directly into an existing construction.

  • B3 → B14 or B35 conversion
  • 4-point suspension on request
  • Special flanges and adapter plates

Cooling & ventilation

Adaptation of the cooling method to your process, essential at low speeds or contaminated environments.

  • Conversion to TENV (totally enclosed, no fan)
  • Forced cooling (IC416)
  • External fan for low-speed operation

Functional add-ons

Additional components built in or fitted on per your specification.

  • Brakes (DC, AC, spring brake)
  • Encoders and PT100/PTC sensors
  • Anti-condensation heater, insulation upgrade

Like-for-like replacement

Send us your nameplate or photo, we supply a fitting alternative that needs no installation changes.

  • Identical dimensions and coupling pattern
  • Compatible with existing foundation
  • No installation modifications required

About the service

Electric motor repair near Rotterdam, own workshop, as-new warranty

Why overhaul instead of a new motor?

A reconditioned electric motor offers an attractive alternative for larger powers (typically above 30 kW). Benefits: substantially lower cost (typically 30-60% of list price), shorter lead time, proven mounting dimensions and full as-new quality documentation.
