Industrial & General Purpose Electric Motors

Industrial (general purpose) motors are versatile machines that form the backbone of production facilities and serve a broad range of applications. They are designed to suit many needs rather than a single special application: from pumps to fans, conveyors to compressors, machine drives to lifting systems. The DRG Motor industrial electric motors range combines durability, efficiency and competitive cost.

Features of a General Purpose Motor

Versatility: a flexible fit to different sectors and applications.
Standard dimensions: IEC frames for easy mounting and spare availability.
Wide range: from small powers to high kW with various speed options.
Efficiency: energy-saving IE3, IE4 and IE5 options.

Why a General Purpose Motor?

Because general purpose motors have a standard design, they are easy to source, have plentiful spare parts and are competitively priced. These traits make them the most practical solution for both new installations and replacements.

Which Sectors Use Them?

They are used in almost every sector, including food, textile, metalworking, plastics, packaging, cement, mining, water/wastewater and general manufacturing. Cast iron body motors are chosen for heavy applications and high efficiency motors for continuous lines.
