Company Choose a Motor With CE Certificate to Avoid a Production?
A leading packaging company in Spain recently faced an urgent compliance challenge when local inspectors tightened regulations on machinery safety. Several older motors used in the company’s carton-cutting line lacked updated certification, putting the entire production operation at risk of forced suspension. Any interruption would have meant delayed deliveries and contractual penalties, so management had to react quickly.
During the internal audit, engineers identified the most problematic component: an outdated drive system that no longer met EU safety requirements. The solution had to be compliant, reliable, and easy to integrate into the existing assembly. The team evaluated multiple suppliers and eventually selected a Simo motor model because it came as a fully compliant motor with CE certificate, meeting all applicable directives for low-voltage safety, EMC performance, and mechanical protection.
The installation was completed over a weekend to avoid halting production. Once operational, the new motor demonstrated smoother performance and reduced equipment vibration, helping stabilize the cutting line precision. Local inspectors later performed a follow-up check and confirmed full conformity, clearing the company of any risk of penalties or shutdown.
Six weeks later, management reported increased confidence in the machine reliability along with a measurable reduction in energy consumption. The successful upgrade has encouraged the company to replace other uncertified motors across its facility before the next inspection cycle.
