Unit Exchange Programs For Electric Motors (UTEX)

This is actually a combination of warehousing and repair. HECO can help you set up your unit exchange program for electric motors. There are a variety of benefits to a UTEX program. Here’s one of the biggest. Let’s say you have 100 motors in your plant. We’ll have 10 repaired spares at our facility ready to go. When you need a spare, you get one right away and pay a fixed cost to repair the failed one — which then goes on our shelf until it’s needed, too. This is a very different kind of system that is a hybrid of spare and repair. And it’s another way we keep All Systems Go.

Below are some applications where UTEX programs can be valuable

• Cooling Fan motors
• Base Fan motors
• Steel mill runout table motors
• Steel mill annealing fan motors
• Steel mill hydrogen annealing fan motors
• Mill Duty motors in steel mills
• Traction motors
• Any other applications with a large installed base of duplicated equipment”
