Delba Electrical’s tailored solutions for mining, manufacturing and energy

Electrical rotating machines are cornerstones of industrial operations across a wide range of sectors, from mining to manufacturing, and energy production. However, the operating conditions and demands placed on electrical rotating machines vary significantly between industries, creating unique challenges for maintenance and repair. For over 60 years, Delba Electrical has specialised in delivering solutions tailored to the specific needs of different industries.

Delba Electrical customises its electrical rotating machine repair and maintenance services to meet the unique demands of the mining, manufacturing and energy sectors, ensuring high performance, reliability and longevity in these critical environments.

Mining: ensuring durability and reliability in harsh environments

The mining industry relies heavily on electrical rotating machines to power equipment such as conveyor belts, crushers, hoists, and ventilation systems. Electrical rotating machines must withstand extreme conditions, including high temperatures, abrasive materials and moisture which can lead to problems such as insulation breakdown, bearing failure and overheating.

For mining customers, Delba customises its repair and maintenance services in several key ways:

• Heavy-duty insulation systems: Using advanced insulation materials and vacuum pressure impregnation techniques, Delba reinforces the insulation systems of mining electrical rotating machines to protect them from moisture and contaminants, ensuring that the machines can withstand harsh environmental conditions.
• Enhanced bearing solutions: Mining electrical rotating machines are prone to bearing wear because of heavy loads and vibrations. Delba customises bearing systems using high-quality materials and advanced lubrication techniques to reduce friction, extend bearing life and improve durability.
• Condition monitoring: Delba provides vibration analysis and thermal imaging as part of its predictive maintenance services, allowing early detection of problems such as misalignment or bearing failure, preventing costly breakdowns and downtime-related financial losses.

Manufacturing: precision and speed for optimal performance

In the manufacturing industry, speed and precision are paramount and electrical rotating machines are essential to the operation of machinery such as conveyors, robotic arms and milling equipment. Machine breakdowns can lead to production halts, affecting output and profitability.

• Precision electrical rotating machine rebuilding: Manufacturing operations require electrical rotating machines to run with high precision and tight tolerances. Delba’s machine rebuilding services ensure that critical components such as rotors, stators and windings are restored to original-equipment manufacturer specifications, guaranteeing reliable performance in a demanding environment.
• High-efficiency upgrades: Electrical rotating machines run constantly in the manufacturing sector, making energy efficiency a top priority. Delba upgrades electrical rotating machines to more energy-efficient models, reducing energy consumption and operational costs without compromising performance.
• Rapid turnaround for emergency repairs: Delba’s large workshop and trained technicians ensures rapid repair services. Delba offers on-site repairs and maintenance to address issues immediately, keeping production lines running and minimising downtime.    

Energy sector: ensuring high efficiency and reliability in power generation

The energy sector depends on electrical rotating machines for a range of applications, from power generation to renewable energy systems such as wind turbines and solar plants.

Delba Electrical customises its electrical rotating machine repair and maintenance services for energy clients by focusing on the unique operational requirements of the sector.

• Efficiency enhancements: Energy producers, particularly those in renewable sectors, need electrical rotating machines that operate with high efficiency to meet sustainability goals. Delba upgrades electrical rotating machines for better energy efficiency, reducing carbon footprints and operational costs.
• Maintenance for critical equipment: Delba provides tailored, preventive maintenance programs for essential equipment such as turbines, generators and pumping systems. This includes regular inspections, condition monitoring, and predictive maintenance to prevent unexpected breakdowns.
• Specialised rewind services: In energy production, electrical rotating machines are often subjected to heavy electrical loads and extended operating hours. Delba offers customised electrical rotating machine rewinding services to ensure that windings are rebuilt to handle high voltage and demanding operating conditions, to ensure that machines can withstand the stresses of power generation and operate reliably for longer periods.

Delba Electrical’s ability to customise electrical rotating machine repair and maintenance services for different industries underscores its commitment to meeting the unique needs of its customers. Whether in the harsh conditions of mining, the precision-driven environment of manufacturing, or the high-efficiency demands of the energy sector, Delba delivers tailored solutions that ensure electrical rotating machines perform at their best.
