WEG has taken another significant step in expanding its footprint in India’s Food and Beverage (F&B) sector by supplying 319 high-efficiency IE4 motors to Sakambari Agro Products Private Limited and Praakritik Roller Flour Mill (P) Ltd. for their Greenfield flour mill projects located in Siliguri, West Bengal.

All motors, ranging from 0.75 kW to 30 kW, including 2, 4 and 6-pole B3T and B5T mounting configurations in sizes 1 and 2 WINLINE IE4, were manufactured at WEG’s Hosur manufacturing site and dispatched in a single lot on April 22, 2025. The delivery was completed on May 9, 2025 — a testament to WEG’s efficiency and commitment to timely execution.

These IE4 motors will be powering a wide variety of equipment across the flour mills, including fans, pumps, grinders, conveyors, roller mills, chakkis, flour tanks, jet filters, and more. The motors’ IP55 protection, S1 duty, and enhanced reliability and warranty compared to competing solutions made them the ideal fit for the operational demands of both projects.

This supply represents a strategic breakthrough for WEG, marking a reference installation for IE4 motors in India’s F&B industry. It not only strengthens WEG's presence in this important segment but also reinforces customer confidence, with expectations for additional orders in the current fiscal year.

Furthermore, the IE4 motors provide a fast return on investment (ROI) through superior energy efficiency, contributing to reduced operational costs and improved sustainability for the customer — key factors for modern industrial operations.

In a historical milestone, this project also includes the first-ever production of frame sizes 160 to 200 (6-pole IE4 motors) at the Hosur manufacturing site, underscoring WEG’s continuous innovation and investment in advanced motor technologies.

By delivering a reliable, energy-efficient, and service-supported solution, WEG continues to pave the way for smarter industrial performance in India.
