Schorch motors we list

Motor Type Typical drive
900 kW High-voltage induction motor Process pumps, fans and smaller compressors
1,365 kW High-voltage induction motor Pipeline and injection pumps, compressors
1,680 kW (KV6535B-AA06) High-voltage induction motor Compressors and large pumps
2,300 kW High-voltage induction motor Gas compressors, boiler feed and large cooling water pumps
KN series Low-voltage induction motor, IP23 Indoor drives where open drip-proof cooling is acceptable

Large motors like these are built to order. The type code on the nameplate (for example KV6535B-AA06) together with the serial number identifies the exact frame, cooling method, bearings, terminal box and explosion protection, so a replacement or spare part is always matched to that data.

Where Schorch motors are used

In Oman and the GCC, Schorch high-voltage motors drive compressors, crude and water injection pumps, cooling water pumps and fans in oil and gas fields, refineries, petrochemical plants, power and desalination stations, often in hazardous areas where an Ex “e”, “d” or “p” motor is required.

Ordering Schorch motors and spares: what we need

Send a photo of the nameplate or the type code and serial number, the rated power, voltage, frequency, speed, mounting arrangement and the explosion protection marking. For spare parts (bearings, seals, fans, terminal boxes, cooler parts or space heaters), add the part description and, if available, the item number from the motor documentation.

FAQ

Questions about schorch

Common questions about schorch equipment, part numbers and supply to Oman and the GCC.

01Which nameplate data is needed to identify a Schorch motor?
The type designation, for example KV6535B-AA06, and the machine number are the two key entries. Add rated power, voltage, frequency, speed, mounting arrangement (such as B3 or V1), degree of protection, cooling method and any Ex marking. With the machine number the manufacturer can refer to the original order documents, which matters because large motors are built to specification.
02Which types of explosion protection does Schorch offer for high voltage motors?
The manufacturer lists hazardous area series with increased safety (Ex eb), flameproof enclosure (Ex db, also combined with an Ex eb terminal box) and Ex ec and pressurized Ex pxb versions, in gas groups and temperature classes that depend on the series. The marking required comes from your area classification, so state zone, gas group and temperature class in the inquiry.
03What do you need to source bearings or other spare parts for a Schorch motor?
Schorch motors are built with rolling element bearings or sleeve bearings depending on series, size and speed, and the exact parts are fixed in the order documents. Send the machine number and type from the nameplate, the part required and, if you have it, the item number from the spare parts list or sectional drawing in the motor manual.
04Which certificates does the manufacturer issue for Schorch motors?
Safe area motors carry the CE declaration, and hazardous area series are certified to ATEX, with IECEx listed for the same series. Test reports and other inspection documents are produced with the individual motor according to what was ordered. Name the documents your project requires in the inquiry so they are part of the factory order.
05Is Seven Star LLC a distributor of Schorch motors?
No. Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier that sources Schorch motors and motor parts through commercial channels. We check the type and machine number against the manufacturer's documentation, propose the manufacturer's successor when a type is obsolete, and provide the datasheet and the certificates the manufacturer issues with the order on request.
