SKF recently awarded Delba Electrical with its fifth electrical rewinder certification status. “The objective of the SKF programme, which is audited every two years, is to improve motor repair effectiveness for enhanced motor reliability and improved mean time between failures,” explains SKF distributor development manager, Anton Theunissen. “The programme is a three way partnership between the electric motor rebuilder, the SKF authorised distributor and SKF.”

Delba is the only company with fifth recertification status, bearing testament to the electric motor refurbishing specialist’s reputation of excellence in electric motor design, repair, rewinding and testing that spans more than 50 years. The company is in the final stages of completing the construction of a new heavy engineering facility. According to Delba managing director, David Balocco, the new large motor repair workshop’s 100 ton lifting capacity will open up a whole new line of business as the company will now also be able to offer rewinds on large motors.
“Since the initial audit in 2006, Delba Electrical continues to manage a high quality and procedure-driven electric motor service facility with competent, experienced and motivated people,” continues Theunissen. “The Delba site consistently produces high quality repair and refurbishments for a wide range of customer types, and is already in compliance with several industry standards and practices.” He adds that Delba Electrical maintained a high overall audit rating, scoring full marks in the majority of test criteria.
