Gravel extraction, Germany

As the main drive for the suction pump, EMZ supplied three-phase asynchronous motors in a power range between 250 and 400 kW to a German manufacturer of suction dredgers. Due to their use in open-air gravel extraction on floating pontoons, the motors are permanently exposed to all weather conditions. This is a particular challenge, especially in winter with ice, snow and rain. The robust EMK cast iron motors meet all requirements for this application.
