Whether in routine maintenance or emergency situations, the equipment interchangeability is a feature that allows for low downtime and, consequently, cost reduction.

With this in mind, Aço Verde Brasil, the first company to produce steel without the use of fossil fuels, selected the expertise of those who offer electrical and mechanical interchangeability with equipment from different manufacturers to acquire three new motors that will be part of the expansion of its unit located in Açailândia, in the state of Maranhão in Brazil.

For the project, three-phase induction motors from WEG's Master line of 1,492 kW, 2,611 kW and 7,000 kW were chosen, which will be applied to a rolling mill and two centrifugal compressors at the plant. It is a versatile model that allows different configurations, and can be applied in harsh environments, which require high resistance and durability, adapting to different applications.

For the customer, this choice represents a reduction in maintenance costs and production losses in case of the need to replace motors, in addition to proven reliability in operation.

Other advantages of choosing WEG motors are: high performance, optimized design, low noise level; simple and reduced maintenance; reliability and robustness.

For WEG, this is another important supply and reinforces the company's ability to provide flexible equipment and solutions to serve the most diverse segments.
