In Canada’s evolving industrial landscape, where automation and energy efficiency are key priorities, VJ Pamensky (WEG Canada) is at the forefront of supplying motor technologies that are shaping the future of industrial operations. For engineers leading modernization efforts in sectors like food processing, mining and manufacturing, WEG motors offer high-performance solutions that meet demanding operational requirements while aligning with national sustainability goals.

Meeting Canada’s Rising Efficiency Standards with NEMA Premium

As Canadian regulations tighten around energy consumption, the demand for high efficiency motors continues to grow. WEG’s Super Premium (IE4) and Ultra Premium (IE5) motors are engineered to exceed minimum efficiency requirements, making them a strategic choice for engineers focused on long-term operational savings and regulatory compliance. These motors reduce energy loss, improve system performance and help facilities achieve measurable reductions in operating costs.

W22, W40 & W51 Motors: Built for Automation Environments

Modern industrial automation systems demand electric motors that can integrate seamlessly with smart technologies while delivering durability and reliability. WEG’s W22, W40 and W51 motor lines are specifically designed for these high-performance environments.

  • W22 Motors: Known for optimized airflow and noise reduction and extended service life, making them ideal for applications in conveyors, compressors and pumps.
  • W40 Motors: With cast iron frames, W40 motors are built for robust industrial use in mining and manufacturing, with an IP23 rating. For applications requiring enhanced protection against dust and moisture, W22 motors offer an IP55 rating.
  • W51 Motors: Featuring enhanced thermal performance, they’re a preferred choice in sectors requiring constant load operation and minimal maintenance interruptions.
