At electrical rotating machine repairer DELBA Electrical, continuous improvement is more than a business philosophy — it is a commitment that drives every aspect of its operations. For over six decades, DELBA has been at the forefront of the repair, refurbishment, rewinding and maintenance of electrical rotating equipment, providing industries with reliable solutions that improve performance and extending equipment life.
As industries continue to evolve, so do the challenges they face. The demand for greater efficiency, reliability and sustainability has never been higher. DELBA Electrical remains committed to staying ahead of these demands by continuously investing in advanced technology, specialised equipment, artisan training and improved processes. Through innovation and engineering excellence, DELBA continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the repair and maintenance of critical electrical rotating machines.
DELBA’s extensive experience and technical expertise has enabled the company to successfully complete some of the most demanding rotating equipment projects in the industry. A significant achievement is DELBA’s proven capability in rewinding and refurbishing large electrical rotating asynchronous induction machines up to 19.7 MW. Projects of this scale require exceptional engineering knowledge, precision workmanship, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and comprehensive testing procedures. Successfully restoring these high-capacity machines demonstrates DELBA’s ability to deliver world-class solutions while meeting the stringent requirements of modern industrial applications.
A major advantage that differentiates DELBA Electrical is its ability to control key aspects of the repair process through its in-house manufacturing capabilities. DELBA’s dedicated copper division includes an advanced copper extrusion facility, allowing it to manufacture high-quality copper components and coils to exact specifications. This capability provides greater control over quality, consistency and production timelines, ensuring that each component is manufactured to meet the demanding requirements of electrical rotating equipment applications.
In addition to our copper extrusion capabilities, DELBA operates its own fully equipped machine shop, enabling the in-house manufacture and refurbishment of specialised mechanical components. This facility allows its experienced machinists and engineers to produce critical parts with accuracy and efficiency, reducing reliance on external suppliers and improving turnaround times. By maintaining control over the manufacturing process, DELBA can ensure exceptional quality while providing customers with faster and more reliable repair solutions.
Quality assurance is a fundamental part of every project undertaken by DELBA. Its state-of-the-art test bay facility plays a vital role in verifying the performance and reliability of repaired and refurbished equipment before it is returned to service. Using advanced testing technology, DELBA can conduct comprehensive electrical, mechanical and diagnostic assessments to ensure that all work completed meets its strict quality standards. This commitment to testing provides customers with confidence that their equipment will perform safely and reliably in demanding operating conditions.
DELBA’s commitment to continuous improvement extends beyond technology and facilities. It recognises that its greatest asset is its people. By investing in training, knowledge development, and industry expertise, DELBA ensures that its skilled engineers, technicians and artisans remain equipped to deliver innovative solutions and exceptional workmanship.
Beyond improving reliability and performance, DELBA Electrical is also committed to contributing to a more sustainable future by repairing and refurbishing existing electrical rotating equipment. Through continuous improvement, advanced capabilities and an unwavering focus on quality, DELBA Electrical continues to set new standards in service excellence. By combining decades of experience with modern technology and sustainable practices, DELBA remains dedicated to delivering solutions that keep industries operating efficiently today while contributing to a more sustainable tomorrow.
