ANDRITZ develops and manufactures submersible motors for various fields of application in water supply, mining and offshore. Equipped with a special cooling technology (MCT) and an interior permanent motor technology (IPM), ANDRITZ submersible motors achieve impressive performance values, efficiencies, and cost savings.
Their rewindable winding makes ANDRITZ submersible motors from the SM series the ideal drivers for submersible deep well pumps, bottom intake pumps, seawater lift pumps, and for subsea machinery. Thus, they can be used for water supply and in the offshore as well as the mining industry. They are designed as water-filled and water-cooled three-phase asynchronous motors with squirrel-cage rotors with a mechanical shaft seal. Depending on the field of operation, ANDRITZ submersible motors from the SM series can be made of cast iron, bronze or stainless steel and can be installed vertically and horizontally. For more information on our submersible motors please have a look at our brochures in the sidebar or contact us directly.
MCT - Modular cooling technology for submersible motors
Efficient and cost-effective cooling of submersible motors is a constant source of discussion by well and mine operators. Derating is a less-than-ideal solution. In addition to high capital and energy costs, the overlarge, downgraded motors usually require a larger well diameter. Oil cooling needs careful consideration as well – any failure can cause ecological damage.
