Here is one company that demonstrates hard work and passion really do make dreams come true. Werner Ricardo Voigt, Eggon João da Silva and Geraldo Werninghaus joined forces in 1961 and founded Eletromotores Jaraguá. Eventually changing its name to honour the three founders, WEG has now become one of the world’s largest manufacturers of electric motors and controls. Operating out of Duluth, Georgia, WEG now has seven distribution centers throughout Canada and the United States.
WEG’s commitment to growth, innovation, and teamwork have been the driving factor behind their forward movement. Now producing over 21 million individual items annually, WEG attributes this success to their state-of-the-art facilities and innovative processes. They will always strive to develop and improve on their industrial electrical solutions.
Designed with modern technology and high performance, WEG products offer low maintenance, high reliability and major flexibility for the sugar and alcohol industry, resulting in efficient industrial solutions. As market leader in the supply of motors and generators for the sugar and alcohol sector, WEG also offers all factory services as well as field services including inspections, repairs and retrofitting of medium and large size machines including other brands.
As efficiency initiatives make an impact in traditional market sectors, the application of new technologies in emerging sectors is resulting in profound changes in the way that electric motors are applied and controlled. By integrating these changes together with the demands for increased energy efficiency, WEG has taken up the challenge and produced a new design of high efficiency motor, one that exceeds the performance of the previous WEG’s W21 motor line, which is recognised worldwide for its quality, reliability and efficiency.
WEG can offer complete solutions for the whole process in pulp and paper industry where operational efficiency, technical and technological aspects are the greatest competitive differentials. WEG also counts on a network of distributors and service agents to meet the demand for replacement parts and technical support in all operations of the wood yard, pulp process, limekiln, fiber line, evaporation, drying, power and recovery boiler, chemical plant, water and sewage treatment, pulp preparation, approximation circuit, paper machine, coating and winding machine.

When accelerating an AC motor to full speed using a full voltage connection, a large inrush current may be required. Additionally, the torque of the AC motor is mostly uncontrolled and can shock the connected equipment, potentially causing damage. Variable Frequency Drives and Reduced Voltage Soft Starters and can both be used to reduce inrush currents and limit torque; thereby protecting expensive equipment and extending the life of the motor and coupling devices. Choosing between a variable frequency drive and soft starter often depends on the type of application, the mechanical system requirements, and cost.
Pumps, pipeline and fittings can get seriously damaged if pressure or flow are out of control and such occurrences are not tracked early. The Pump Genius is a customizable feature of WEG drives that enables your standard VSD to become dedicated for pumping systems. It ensures accurate pressure / flow control throughout the processing cycle, starting with raw water and its usage, ending on wastewater treatment. With an easy-to-use programming wizard, Pump Genius helps you to minimize downtime and maximize energy savings. Everything you need is selecting one of the three options that best fits to your application.
