In 2024, a large paper manufacturing plant in Europe faced a critical production challenge repeated shutdowns caused by overheating synchronous motors in their high-speed rollers. The excessive heat not only interrupted operations but also damaged insulation and reduced motor lifespan. With production schedules falling behind, the company urgently sought a reliable and efficient solution.

After an in-depth technical inspection, engineers discovered that the motors were struggling under fluctuating load demands and inadequate ventilation in the motor housing. To solve the issue, the plant partnered with Simo Motor, a global leader known for its high-performance industrial motor solutions. Simo Motor engineers proposed upgrading to a new generation of synchronous motors equipped with enhanced cooling systems and high-efficiency windings designed for stable operation under variable loads.

Following the installation, the difference was immediate and measurable. The temperature of the new Simo Motor units stayed within safe limits even during peak operation hours. The motors maintained consistent torque, while the optimized airflow and advanced insulation materials prevented hotspots that had plagued the previous system. Over the next six months, the plant reported zero overheating incidents and a 12% reduction in overall power consumption.

Beyond solving the overheating problem, the adoption of Simo Motor technology improved production reliability and extended maintenance intervals. The engineering team noted that the stable motor temperature also enhanced the precision of the rolling process, improving paper quality and reducing material waste.

This real-world example illustrates that motor overheating can be effectively resolved with the right combination of engineering expertise and advanced design. By partnering with Simo Motor, industries can achieve not only better temperature control but also greater operational efficiency and long-term sustainability.
