IPS offers single-source capabilities for electric motors and generators, rotating equipment, and power distribution equipment used in surface mining and aggregates. Our technicians and engineers have decades of experience meeting MSHA and OEM standards.
We work closely with reliability engineers and electrical maintenance managers, supervisors, and planners. The ability to work on all critical equipment simplifies vendor management, for more efficient maintenance and operations.
IPS works with these producers to improve equipment reliability and performance:
Our single-source capabilities cover AC & DC motors and generators, transformers, conveyance, power distribution, and rotating equipment. These services include:
IPS engineers for the application, with in-shop remanufacturing. Our North American network has local and regional warehousing, with 24/7 response and critical spares delivery, installation, and alignment.
IPS engineers for the application. Our engineered insulation systems protect against harsh environmental conditions.
We offer two premium VPI rewinds for stators up to 14’ in diameter. IPS engineers customize both to uprate or increase efficiency:
IPS has always worked on mining motors. We now provide complete services for the rotating equipment connected to those motors.
Our rotating equipment experts develop engineered solutions for gearboxes, pumps, fans, blowers and compressors. IPS offers on-site testing, vibration analysis, balancing, alignment, and bearing replacement.
In-shop, we rebuild, recondition, and remanufacture, with skilled machinists who hold ultra-tight tolerances on fit and finish.
National Field Services, an IPS Company, adds to our single-source capabilities with power distribution. We provide electrical testing and maintenance services for circuit breakers, control parts, switchgear, and transformers.
National also handles power distribution equipment installation and commissioning.
IPS is a total maintenance solution provider for mines that own transformers. We improve system uptime and reliability with new and legacy units.
Our in-shop repair handles transformers up to 60 MVA auto/23k kV class. On site, we work on generator step-up transformers rated up to 345 kV and exceeding 1,000 MVA.
We offer multiple options when replacement is more cost-effective than service and repair. We replace AC & DC motors and generators from fractionals to 2,500HP and above, rotating equipment, and power distribution equipment.
National Switchgear, an IPS Company, is a major distributor and remanufacturer of power distribution equipment.
We provide installation, service, and repair for dredges. IPS technicians and engineers collaborate on projects involving motors, pumps, controls, and automation.
Our ability to provide turnkey solutions, from design and engineering through installation and commissioning, improves our quality control and lead times.
IPS works with aggregate & cement plants, batching plants, and cement mixing plants. We handle all critical equipment.
This includes service, repair, and replacement for NEMA frames and medium- and high-voltage motors.
IPS also engineers, services, repairs, and replaces rotating equipment. We complete pulley repair and re-lagging, plus vibration analysis and alignment for:
Remanufacturing, CNC precision parts, custom panels, surplus equipment, and modifications. Available with engineering, installation, and commissioning.
Our field service technicians and engineers inspect and test for a detailed understanding of your equipment and how to maintain it.
We pull motors, generators, rotating equipment, and power distribution equipment, installing and commissioning replacement units.
