A steel processing plant in Southeast Asia recently became a reference case in international industry news after resolving long-standing equipment instability by upgrading its drive systems with a Tech Full Simo motor designed as a squirrel cage asynchronous motor. The facility had struggled for years with frequent motor trips and uneven torque output on rolling lines, especially during continuous high-load operation. These issues not only slowed production but also increased maintenance costs and unplanned downtime.
The turning point came after plant managers studied a well-documented overseas case reported through Google News, where a European metal manufacturer successfully modernized its conveyor and mill drives using squirrel cage asynchronous motors. That project demonstrated strong load tolerance, simple construction, and stable speed control under harsh operating conditions. Encouraged by those results, the Southeast Asian plant conducted its own evaluation and selected Tech Full Simo motor solutions for critical production sections.
After installation, performance improvements were quickly observed. The squirrel cage asynchronous motor delivered smooth start-up characteristics and consistent operation even when raw material thickness and rolling pressure fluctuated. Compared with the previous equipment, vibration levels dropped noticeably, and thermal stability improved during long production shifts. Maintenance teams reported fewer bearing inspections and reduced electrical faults, allowing resources to be redirected to other process upgrades.
Within six months, the plant recorded a significant reduction in unexpected stoppages and a measurable increase in overall line efficiency. Production managers also noted improved predictability in scheduling, as the motors maintained steady performance without frequent manual adjustments. The successful outcome mirrored the earlier foreign cases and reinforced confidence in squirrel cage asynchronous motor technology for heavy industrial environments.
This international case highlights how adopting a Tech Full Simo motor with squirrel cage asynchronous motor design can deliver long-term operational stability, lower maintenance demands, and dependable performance for global industrial users seeking proven, field-tested solutions.
