Expertise in the maintenance of rotating machinery
HEMPEL Elektromaschinenbau GmbH has specialised in the repair of industrial plants since 1950 and forms the core company of the HEMPEL group, whose origins, according to company information, date back to 1849. The company repairs, maintains and optimises rotating electrical machines such as three-phase and DC motors, generators, servo motors, vibrators and slip-ring rotors up to 4,000 kW and 11 kV. At its own repair plant in Willich (crane capacity 16 tonnes), rewinding, vacuum impregnation, balancing and mechanical repairs are carried out; certified repair of explosion-protected motors in accordance with DIN EN 60079-19 is part of the portfolio, as is acceptance testing of pumps according to DIN EN ISO 9906 on an in-house test stand. The workshop services are complemented by on-site service, installation and commissioning, engineering, frequency converter service, condition monitoring and a 24-hour emergency service. Customers come mainly from chemicals, pulp & paper, power plants, iron and steel, aluminium, shipbuilding and the process industry.
