Overview

A manufacturer needed a high-performance motor solution for a Stage II vapor recovery pump application. The motor needed to fit into the customer’s existing system while supporting a change from the original motor design. Groschopp engineered a custom motor that met the application’s fit, performance, and retrofit requirements.

Challenges

• Integrated design: The new motor needed to fit the customer’s existing end bells and housing for a drop-in replacement.
• System conversion: The application required replacing the original 3-phase design with a 2-phase motor and controller. 
• Retrofit compatibility: The updated design needed to support refurbishment of installed systems without major equipment changes.

Groschopp’s Solution

Groschopp engineered a custom 2-phase AC motor designed specifically for this vapor recovery application.

Key features included:

• Custom 2-phase AC motor developed to replace the original 3-phase design
• A size and mounting configuration tailored to fit the customer’s existing end bells
• Drop-in design that supported retrofit of installed systems during routine refurbishment
