With cutting-edge solutions for various segments and a wide range of applications, WEG supplied a power generation package to Ledesma in Argentina. The scope of the supply includes a 34 MW Turbine, ST800 Gearbox, and a ST41 model Electric Generator of 42.6 MVA.
The equipment will be responsible for generating power for the customer's industrial complex, as well as supplying steam for the Paper and Sugar manufacturing process. Additionally, the package offers a safer, integrated, and more efficient operation for the process.
This is an important step for Ledesma due to the efficiencies resulting from WEG's solutions applied in their industry, with more reliable products that allow for cleaner energy production in a more efficient and sustainable way.
Another key factor in Ledesma's decision was the visits to various WEG facilities, confirming the reliability and safety of the solutions, backed by the experience of a global reference in Thermal Power Generation Solutions. Moreover, WEG offers an after-sales service that provides customers with reliable technical support for their equipment operations.
For WEG, this supply represents the recovery of the Argentine market for this type of product, highlighted by the sale of the largest turbo generator ever commercialized by the company in the country. Additionally, this package includes a long-term maintenance contract for the next five years, providing the customer with increased reliability and a significant reduction in maintenance costs due to unplanned downtimes.
