Expert Electric Motor Rewinding & Servicing Solutions in Mombasa
From massive ballast and fire pumps to auxiliary blower fans and deck machinery winches, electric motors drive essential shipboard auxiliary systems. When motor windings burn out, insulation breaks down, or bearings seize up during a port stay in Kenya, rapid restoration is vital. Since 2011, Mombasa Ship Services has coordinated high-quality electric motor rewinding and servicing for international merchant shipping.
We connect global shipowners with specialized electrical motor workshops in Mombasa equipped to handle heavy-duty marine-grade AC and DC motors. From complete copper rewiring to precision balancing and mechanical reconditioning, our network ensures rapid turnaround times that protect your vessel's operational schedule.
Comprehensive Motor Restoration & Overhaul Scope
Exposing electric motors to high humidity, saltwater ingress, and continuous operational loads leads to inevitable winding degradation. Our specialized service scope covers:
Stator Rewinding & Insulation Class Upgrades: Stripping burnt copper coils, cleaning core slots, rewinding with high-temperature grade copper wire, and applying vacuum-pressure impregnation (VPI) insulating varnish.
Bearing Journal & End-Shield Restoration: Replacing worn ball or roller bearings, machining damaged bearing housings, and verifying shaft runout tolerances to eliminate mechanical vibration.
No-Load & Insulation Resistance Testing: Measuring winding polarization index (PI), insulation resistance (Megger tests), and conducting no-load current draws before reinstalling motors.
Blower & Cooling Fan Servicing: Inspecting external cooling fans, terminal box connections, and anti-condensation heater elements to prevent future moisture failure.
