Real-world Application Case

Case Study: Motor Retrofit Project for an Automated Packaging Production Line in South China

A large-scale automated food packaging production company in South China had multiple production lines equipped with 18.5KW conveyor belt motors. The original contactors, under high-frequency start-stop operations, experienced contact aging and poor contact failures every month, leading to frequent production line downtime, with an average daily downtime loss of over 2 hours and high maintenance costs.

In 2025, the company completed a full-line equipment retrofit, purchasing GOTOELE MC-40A AC Magnetic Contactor 3P 40A 18.5KW 1NO+1NC in bulk to replace the old equipment. After the upgrade, leveraging the product's core advantages of high-frequency adaptability, wear resistance, and high stability, the failure rate of motor start-stop control on the production line decreased by over 90%, completely resolving contact failures and equipment jamming issues. The equipment has been running continuously and stably to date without any electrical faults causing downtime. Production line efficiency has significantly improved, and annual equipment maintenance costs have decreased by 60%. Due to its superior stability and cost-effectiveness, the company has listed the GOTEELE MC-40A as a long-term designated procurement product.

This case fully demonstrates that the MC-40A contactor is perfectly suited for the high-frequency continuous operation of automated production lines, effectively solving the control challenges of long-term high-frequency operation of small and medium-sized industrial motors, and is suitable for batch industrial and routine production scenarios.
