Hungary, Budapest: Representatives of Ganz Transformers and Electric Rotating Machines Ltd. have signed six new international contracts worth a total of €4.3 million in a single month.
In addition to the transformer manufacturing activities, Ganz aims to further increase the share of customized motor and generator manufacturing and their servicing in the company’s turnover by 2024. In recent weeks, Ganz’s Rotating Machine division has received several orders from international companies.
One of the most notable is an order from a North American recycling company, through a German reseller, for a 6,000-horsepower slip-ring motor for a heavy-duty shredder. This is the largest piece of equipment the company has built for the recycling industry since its establishment.
An order was received from the cement industry, to supply a 1600 kW, custom-designed motor for a Spanish company’s cement plant in Africa. Another company, the German InterCem Cement AG ordered three custom-designed motors for its cement plant in Burkina Faso: a 5,7 MW slip-ring motor for the cement mill, and a 2.7 MW and a 560 kW variable frequency drive motor for the fan drive.
ABB has given a large order for the supply and on-site installation of a set of machines for excitation electronics. As part of this, 6 MVA cylindrical pole synchronous generator will be manufactured for a test laboratory. Ganz will also supply the flywheel, the starter motor and the oil lubrication system. Slovenian steelmaker SIJ Acroni has ordered a motor to drive a hot-rolling mill. Ganz will also be responsible for delivering the machine to Jesenice, assembling it and testing it on-site.
These orders are worth €4.3 million, and Ganz expects growth in the manufacturing and servicing of rotating machines in 2024. The focus is on the renewable energy sector, including the construction of hydro-generators and hydroelectric power plants. Ganz also expects orders from the steel and cement industries, the recycling industry and companies requiring specialised machines.
“The engineers in Ganz’s Rotating Machine division have a high level of knowledge and technical expertise that gives them a strong competitive advantage in the race to win new orders. The expertise and references of our staff are outstanding in the market, and the engineering team members view each individual order as a new professional challenge,” said Jan Prins, Managing Director of Ganz Transformers and Electric Rotating Machines Ltd.
