WEG motors revolutionize water supply in Malaysia and ensure that water reaches the population quickly and safely.

In the heart of Malaysia, where water is a vital resource, An ambitious water supply project is changing the lives of people and local communities. With a bold vision and commitment to delivering reliable drinking water, WEG, a renowned company with over 20 years of experience in electric motors, has become the driving force behind this transformation.

The secret to success lies in WEG's ability to deliver customized solutions, making the transition to high-quality motors smoother than ever.

Check out how WEG brought efficiency and reliability to Malaysia's largest water supply facility, highlighting intelligent customization, technological innovation and the positive impact on the country's water security.

Motors were fully customized by WEG to meet the specific needs of this project

Raw water intake pumping stations play a crucial role in starting the water supply cycle. Here, water is collected and prepared to be treated and distributed to consumers. It was at this stage that WEG entered the scene, providing three slip ring M line motors with a voltage of 6.6 kV. These engines are not just powerful; they were fully customized by WEG to meet the specific needs of this project.

The customization included precise adaptations, such as drilling the base, axle stub and box positioning, ensuring a “drop-in” solution that required minimal on-site modifications. This innovative approach not only simplified engine installation, but also significantly reduced associated costs.

The vital role in treated water pumping station

Malaysia presents a number of environmental challenges, including pressure variations, extreme temperatures and variable water quality. That's where WEG motors stand out. Designed to withstand high loads and operate reliably in harsh conditions, they ensure that water supply infrastructure operates without interruption, regardless of the circumstances.

After treating the raw water, the next step is the treated water pumping station. At this stage, electric motors come into action, driving pumps that propel the treated water through the distribution pipes. Efficiency here is crucial, as it ensures that water reaches consumers quickly and safely.

It is at this point that WEG motors show their full value. Its reliability and consistent performance keep water flowing smoothly and efficiently, meeting the demands of local people. It is an invaluable contribution to water security in Malaysia, providing a safe drinking water supply that people can trust.

Brazilian multinational continues to make headlines around the world

WEG's presence in projects like this is more than just supplying electric motors. It's a trusted partnership that drives progress and sustainability. The company not only delivers cutting-edge technology, but also offers ongoing technical support, ensuring systems operate at peak efficiency.

In addition to its contribution in Malaysia, the WEG continues to make headlines around the world. As part of its ongoing mission of innovation and excellence, WEG has stood out in other areas as well. Recently, the company launched a new line of engines that promises to revolutionize the renewable energy industry. With an increasing focus on sustainability, WEG is committed to providing solutions that not only drive economic growth but also protect the environment.
