Motor-Safe Repair System is Energy-Saving Alternative to Burnout Method

Glen Ellyn, IL, June 13, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Dreisilker Electric Motors, Inc. is re-introducing its trademark Motor-Safe Repair System for rewinding electric motors as an alternative to other destructive methods using burnout ovens. The resulting, finished motors are more energy efficient, provide increased uptime and last longer.

Using the Motor-Safe process, a technician carefully removes the original windings using a controlled “warming” method and hydraulic device. This technique pulls the softened windings from the stator without damaging the stator and thus avoids the extreme, uneven temperatures of burnout ovens which distort the core and laminations. In addition to maintaining the structural integrity of the motor frame and components, the Motor-Safe process enables faster turnaround– typically a one to two-hour process, compared to eight to ten hours using burnout ovens and other destructive stripping methods.

The vast majority of motor repair shops use burnout ovens to remove original windings by baking the motor to exceed 680°F. The high, uneven temperatures compromise the integrity of the motor core with frame damage and iron distortion. The high heat also damages the insulation of the motor laminations causing circulating currents, hot spots and uneven amperage draw. The resulting motor runs hotter, is less efficient and has a shortened half-life.

Dreisilker is a leading provider of commercial and industrial motors, drives, controls, repair and field service expertise to a wide range of industries, including: machine tools, utilities, municipalities, water reclamation, heating-ventilation-air-conditioning, and material processors. Founded in 1955, the company specializes in non-burnout motor rewind, field service and motor repair, engineered solutions, and reliability-based solutions for rotating machine assets. The corporate headquarters is located in Glen Ellyn, Illinois and is supported by an auxiliary sales and repair facility in McHenry as well as five other branch locations in the greater Chicago area, with an additional location near Atlanta, GA.
