Engineered for Canadian industrial standards and critical machinery applications, offering unmatched efficiency and environmental durability.
Understanding the severe demands of Canada's vast, resource-rich, and harsh climate industrial landscape.
Canada’s heavy industry—stretching from the mining pits of Northern Ontario and Quebec to the massive oil sands projects in Alberta, and the shipping lanes of the St. Lawrence Seaway—demands electric motors built to withstand unparalleled operational stress. Equipment operating in these regions must survive extreme thermal cycling, corrosive atmosphere exposures, and intense vibration, all while delivering continuous torque to prevent costly unscheduled downtime.
As the nation accelerates its transition toward green electrification and carbon-neutral industrial processes, there is a rapidly growing demand for ultra-high efficiency motor technologies (IE4, IE5, and Permanent Magnet Synchronous motors) that comply strictly with Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and NEMA MG 1 criteria. The market is shifting from standard motor configurations to specialized, smart-diagnostics-ready drives capable of operating reliably in hazardous (Class I Division 1 & 2) locations.
Designed with specialized low-temperature shaft steels, space heaters, and premium low-temperature synthetic grease to prevent startup seizures in Canadian winter conditions.
Fully compliant with Class I Div 1/Div 2 and Zone 1/Zone 2 explosion-proof standards, providing absolute safety for petrochemical and gas refinement plants.
Minimizes operational utility costs while supporting Canadian carbon emission reduction initiatives by implementing premium efficiency synchronous and asynchronous designs.
Distributing Wolong Electric's cutting-edge motor systems with century-old engineering lineages.
Shaanxi Nanfang Motor Technology Co., Ltd. is the authorized international distributor of Wolong Electric Drive Group Co., Ltd. (founded in 1984, listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, code SH600580). Over nearly four decades, Wolong has evolved into a global powerhouse in the motor manufacturing industry, establishing 3 principal manufacturing bases, 39 smart factories, and 3 global R&D centers.
Wolong’s dominant position is reinforced by the strategic acquisition of legendary industrial brands, bringing together unparalleled motor engineering expertise from across Europe, North America, and Asia:
Acquired in 2011, ATB is one of Europe's top three motor manufacturers. It includes the highly esteemed Morley brand (with a 130-year lineage in underground coal mining equipment) and Laurence Scott (renowned for low-starting-current marine and nuclear power facility generators).
A century-old pioneer in premium efficiency motors. Brook Crompton is famous for its robust "W" and "10" series low-voltage motors, designed to run consistently in highly corrosive, harsh industrial processing plants.
Established in Germany in 1882, Schorch joined Wolong in 2011. Schorch represents the gold standard in heavy-duty high-voltage variable-frequency drives, servicing global oil, gas, and marine vessels.
Entering strategic partnership in 1999, OLI dominates the global market for electric external vibrators and flow-aid industrial systems, ensuring high-quality material flow control.
China's largest R&D base for explosion-proof motors. The incorporation of CNE into Wolong in 2015 created a formidable line of petrochemical-grade, high-voltage positive-pressure and flameproof motors.
Acquired by Wolong in 2018, GE Industrial Motors provides deep North American design heritage, optimizing NEMA-standard machinery widely used across Canada's paper, mining, and cement factories.
Every sub-component is optimized via multi-physics digital simulation platforms for maximum structural integrity.
Featuring a classic squirrel-cage design, the rotors utilize high-purity cast aluminum made through precise centrifugal or high-pressure die-casting. This creates a solid, unified structure integrating the rotor bars and end rings, delivering exceptional starting torque and dynamic balance. For larger high-voltage motors, custom copper bar rotors with advanced end-ring welding technology and protective retention rings ensure stable high-speed performance.
Our stator coils are meticulously wound using high-grade polyester-film coated wire reinforced with glass cloth and high-mica tape. The complete assembly undergoes a rigorous Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) cycle. This eliminates microscopic air pockets, resulting in a robust, moisture-resistant, and thermally stable core capable of running in Class F or Class H temperature profiles without degradation.
Designed using fluid-dynamics and structural simulations, the high-tensile cast iron or fabricated steel frames boast massive structural redundancy. By shifting natural resonance frequencies away from operational motor vibration speeds, the frame minimizes vibration propagation, optimizes heat dissipation, and prevents mechanical fatigue in tough drive assemblies.
Our IP22/IP23 rated fan cover system integrates an air-guide cylinder, protective mesh, and a structural silencer plate. The side-entry air intake design reduces air turbulences and dampens sound. This results in significant reduction of operational decibels while maintaining optimal cooling airflow over the motor frame ribs.
Fully compliant with CSA, UL, NEMA, and global safety standards for immediate deployment in Canada.
