This is due to their ability to reduce electrical energy costs, and improve energy efficiency, by correcting power factor on the motor power supply. Because of the size and nature of the applications in which synchronous motors are used, the energy savings can be considerable, and often result in fast payback of the motor expenditure; with all subsequent savings helping to reduce the user’s operating costs.</description><pubDate>Tue, 14 Aug 2012 10:35:12 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>ZEST WEG Group signs landmark supply agreement with Lonmin Platinum</title><link>http://www.weg.net/bs/Media-Center/News/Products-Solutions/ZEST-WEG-Group-signs-landmark-supply-agreement-with-Lonmin-Platinum</link><guid>http://www.weg.net/bs/Media-Center/News/Products-Solutions/ZEST-WEG-Group-signs-landmark-supply-agreement-with-Lonmin-Platinum</guid><description>Zest WEG Group has entered into a landmark supply agreement with Lonmin Platinum, the world’s third biggest producer of platinum.&#13; </description><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jul 2012 16:22:14 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Water treatment plant achieves up to 24 % annual energy savings</title><link>http://www.weg.net/bs/Media-Center/News/Products-Solutions/Water-treatment-plant-achieves-up-to-24-annual-energy-savings</link><guid>http://www.weg.net/bs/Media-Center/News/Products-Solutions/Water-treatment-plant-achieves-up-to-24-annual-energy-savings</guid><description>A New Hampshire water treatment plant uses “light green” design elements to achieve up to 24 percent annual energy savings.</description><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:14:08 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Wine Industry Pumps</title><link>http://www.weg.net/bs/Media-Center/News/Products-Solutions/Wine-Industry-Pumps</link><guid>http://www.weg.net/bs/Media-Center/News/Products-Solutions/Wine-Industry-Pumps</guid><description>Many different pump types can move food and beverages.</description><pubDate>Wed, 18 Jul 2012 13:13:06 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>WEG Benelux celebrates record growth figures in 20th anniversary year</title><link>http://www.weg.net/bs/Media-Center/News/Corporate/WEG-Benelux-celebrates-record-growth-figures-in-20th-anniversary-year</link><guid>http://www.weg.net/bs/Media-Center/News/Corporate/WEG-Benelux-celebrates-record-growth-figures-in-20th-anniversary-year</guid><description>WEG Benelux (formerly WEG Europe) is celebrating 20 years in business this year; supplying first EU companies and now Benelux with a market leading range of high efficiency electric motors and inverter drive products.
