When a motor surpasses its life span, a failure can occur at any time. A Decatur Industrial customer experienced just such a failure on a critical motor running a compressor.
After bringing the motor to the D.I.E. shop, it was found to be a catastrophic failure which needed an entire rebuild. The customer was looking at a cost of close to $100,000 and a turn-around time of at least 8-10 weeks. Along with the cost of renting a compressor during this period, it would have been a large investment on an OEM motor that was now obsolete.
Decatur Industrial had a new solution. We recommended the purchase of a standard stock motor which we retrofitted with a custom transition plate to accommodate the compressor. The total cost, including turn-key installation was around $52,000. The customer was up and running within four weeks with the latest technology and efficiency.
