All types and kinds of motors operate the machinery in industrial plants. Many of them operate on alternating current, or AC current, since it is the type of current most commonly used in the U.S. However, there are machines that rely on DC, or direct current. For those machines, you need a motor like the General Electric DC motor 504AT. The General Electric DC motor 504AT powers all of the following industrial machines.
Extruders
Plastics extruders require a lot of torque because they are constantly pushing and churning molten plastic through a machine to create a product. As such, they need a motor that can match power and force for this task. The previously mentioned motor often consists of 200hp, which is just enough power to accomplish the task.
Conveyors
Thousands of products are moved through factories every day using conveyors. These conveyors have to be durable and powerful. They cannot break down every week or every month. Ergo, you have to have a motor that can operate the conveyor line that is able to take the nonstop operation of moving a conveyor line day after day.
Packaging Machinery
Packaging machinery operates at a high rate of speed, performing a boxing, taping, sealing and plastic wrapping process quickly. Since fast is the name of this industry’s game, your system needs the right motor to run it. Direct current is fast, and aids in moving a packaging line equally as fast. The 504AT is one of the fastest industrial motors available.
