What is the overall market share of domestic hermetic motors and your presence in the global market?
Currently, we are market leaders for Hermetic compressor Motors in India. The total market share for Domestic Refrigerators hermetic motors is about 47%, Aircon hermetic is 20% and Commercial Refrigeration hermetic stands at 90%. Globally, we are the top 10 best independent hermetic motor companies on Market watch. While we do not directly export, we supply to compressor manufacturers who export their share of the compressors with our motors.
Why is the E-Switch Technology the need of the hour in the industry currently?
The new e-switch technology provides long life, strong reliability and hence proves to be a long-term asset for the consumers. The electronic switch by Godrej Lawkim Motors is also environmentally friendly. The E-switch is RoHS compatible and does not contain any hazardous material such as Silver Cadmium contacts.
What benefits does the E-Switch technology provide in general-purpose motors?
In terms of general-purpose motors, the modern e-switch is safer as compared to conventional centrifugal switch and Open Circuit Switch technology because the e-switch has no moving parts and hence causes fewer chances of wear and tear with no spark generation. The e-switch is also able to detect near lock-rotor conditions and sends timely alerts on overload conditions as well.
How has Godrej Lawkim Motors achieved efficiency in its Motor production over the years?
Godrej Lawkim Motors manufactures best-in-class, energy-efficient motors including Specialty Motors, Hermetic Compressor Motors, and Motor Components like Stators, Rotors, Die-Cast and Laminations. We are pioneers of the Hermetic motor in India and we continue to use our engineering expertise to provide our customers with a wide range of energy-efficient applications covering industrial, commercial, and other home appliances. We are also present in offering Calibration & Inspection services to various engineering sectors to help businesses assure and optimize the control parameters on their equipment affecting their production quality.
Which industries can benefit from the development of E-Switch technology in India?
The e-switch technology can benefit a wide array of sectors including Domestic, Agriculture, Dairy, Food, SME, Construction, and more for applications in areas such as monkey lifts, woodworking machines, air compressors, betel cutting machines, milking, mixing of paints and Agri-machinery.
