Sulzer EMS delivers synchronous motor for US cement plant22 September 2022

Sulzer Electro Mechanical Services (EMS), in partnership with GE Power Conversion, announced the supply of a custom built synchronous motor for end-user Phoenix Cement Company, which operates under the Salt River Materials Group (SRMG).

The motor, a 1,500hp, 30-pole synchronous motor with collector rings, provides 20% greater power capacity than its predecessor – without causing unnecessary downtime for installation. The original motor was manufactured by GE in 1972 for the Clarkdale Plant in Arizona.

Sulzer EMS has been a long-time partner of GE.

End-user Phoenix Cement Company is a US supplier of portland and masonry cements, fly ash and other pozzolans, aggregates, and natural gypsum products. The new GE motor, which is custom-built for the needs of this specific customer, is equipped with proprietary insulation, and enables Phoenix Cement to meet the increasing demand for cement products in a rapidly growing construction market.
