FIR Group, leader in design and development of custom motors

FIR, a leading manufacturer of custom electric motors and pump motors for commercial food equipment and other industrial and commercial applications, is introducing a new line of stainless steel pump motors — the SST Series — to the North American dishwashing machine market.

The SST line is a complete offering for the dishwashing machine market, according to Paolo Delpogetto, FIR Group President. “Our new SST line satisfies the market need for a high quality, rugged solution that combines the strength of stainless steel with extraordinary cost effectiveness.” The SST line meets dishwasher manufacturers’ power needs with motors ranging from 0.5HP to 3HP, and since it is manufactured at FIR’s ISO 9001 certified Asian manufacturing facility, the cost has been dramatically reduced. The result is a motor that features premium Italian quality and offshore price competitiveness.

In addition to the new standard SST line, FIR also has the capability to quickly customize the Stainless Steel Pump, so customers can have a drop-in replacement for their current pump motor assembly.

The new SST line will be stocked at FIR’s US-based warehouses to ensure that FIR can quickly meet customers’ motor requirements.

FIR’s comprehensive solutions include high performance plastic material pumps, engineered motor and blowers, complete packages for commercial ovens, pump motors for ice maker machines, and slicing machine motors. FIR closely supports its customers from product conception to final testing.
