South Africa’s electric motor refurbishing specialist, Delba Electrical, together with alliance partner, Flanders, will showcase their engineering capabilities and total electric motor solutions in Hall 7, stand C12, at Electra Mining Africa 2014.

With a reputation of excellence in electric motor design, repair, rewinding and testing that spans more than 50 years, Delba is in the final stages of completing the construction of a new heavy engineering facility at its Springs headquarters in Gauteng. “Our new large motor repair workshop will provide us with 100 Ton lifting capacity which opens up a whole new line of business as we are now able to offer rewinds on large motors,” explains Managing Director, David Balocco. The workshop will be equipped with the latest technology, including a modern test bay area and a vacuum pressure impregnation system.

Coinciding with the opening of the new facility will be an increase of approximately 20% in the company’s staff complement. A restructuring of the current premises to better streamline processes and accommodate volume increases will also follow. 

Delba is a certified Zest Weg and SKF electric motor rebuilder, affirmation of the company’s commitment to Quality of Repair. In 2012 Delba was appointed distributor and service provider for US-based Flanders in Sub-Sahara Africa. Flanders is a global supplier of rugged high performance, specialised AC and DC electric motors and generators and AC and DC Drives Control System Integration. “Due to the numerous synergies between the two companies, the partnership has enabled us to supply end-to-end solutions, from product (electric motors and generators) and maintenance including a comprehensive field service,” adds Balocco.

Delba services include AC high/medium low voltage motors, DC motors, alternators, generators; new motors, certified flame-proof motors, transformers, load testing, ventilation fans and submersible pumps with performance testing. The company’s Copex Division manufactures and supplies high quality copper conductors and pre-formed coils. A PLC controlled, eco-friendly Pyrolitic Kiln was installed to ensure that customers’ stator core iron losses are not compromised. A comprehensive range of 24/7 on-site services, including remote locations, is delivered by Delba Electrical’s fully equipped Field Service Division vehicles.
