Motors for swift shipping M


enzel Elektromotoren has modified, tested, and delivered two 2400-kW motors for the MV Ulysses


car ferry, meeting extremely tight deadlines of two and three weeks. Ulysses, a fast RoPax ferry, is one of the largest ferries in the world servicing the busy Dublin— Holyhead route, and is operated by Irish Ferries It has 12 decks for up to 2,000 passengers and 1,340 cars or 240 lorries. The operator urgently needed new motors for two of the four azimuth thrusters – propellers used for sideways manoeuvring in ports. One of the German motor builder's experienced service staff took measurements on site in order to adhere to tight refit specifications and timelines, and to avoid the kind of installation difficulties caused by earlier replacement motors. Menzel adapted two squirrel-cage motors from their large inventory of motors and components for many common applications. The selected motors are by default suitable for high humidity environments.

extraction of oil mist and smoke from machining applications. AOF units can be machine-mounted, or supplied with separate stands where required. AOF is designed to use the wind shear principle for


initial separation of mist from airstreams. As the contaminant loading on the fan is very low, typically they do not suffer from loss of impeller balance and so can be serviced in-house at relatively long intervals. Units are supplied as standard with a high-grade final


filter with an estimated life of up to 3600 working hours. Usually available from stock, and supplied complete with


all parts required for mechanical installation, AirBench can solve most mist extraction issues quickly and simply.
