Farm duty electric motors are designed for use in agricultural applications. They are typically single-phase motors with a high torque design. They are suitable for various agricultural applications, including pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, and other machinery.  These farm duty electric motors apply to farm use and can be used in other industries, such as the […]

In the food and beverage industry, stainless steel electric motors are key to ensuring reliable and clean operations. In caustic cleaning environments, stainless steel motors provide the durability and corrosion resistance needed to withstand harsh conditions.  For applications where hygiene is of utmost importance, stainless steel electric motors are easy to clean and maintain. Their […]

Rock crushers are essential tools that facilitate daily operation in quarries. Based on their demanding work, their motors are built to meet the demands of the motor crushers. These motors are designed for high-belted loads for rock crushers and chipper applications. They also help drive production, ensure minimal downtime, and drive profit through their usage. […]

An AC drive is an essential component for controlling the speed and efficiency of an electric motor. Growing demand worldwide for energy-efficient process flows means that AC drives are more important than ever to the future of process controls. Here we’ll discuss the features, benefits, and applications of AC drives in more detail.   What […]

An industrial gearbox is a type of enclosed system responsible for transmitting mechanical energy to designated units. In the process, gearboxes control rotation speed and torque. Unlike standard gearboxes, industrial models feature a longer lifespan and improved safety mechanisms. When selecting gearboxes for an application, it’s important to understand the different types and their uses. […]

Explosion proof motors are designed to reduce or eliminate the risks traditional motors present in the presence of combustible materials. Traditional motors feature parts that can spark or generate too much heat in environments with dust and other flammable materials. This poses a significant fire risk that explosion proof motors are designed to negate by […]

Electric motors are electromechanical devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to power connected equipment. They can be classified in many ways depending on their design and construction. Regarding the number of power source phases, they can be categorized as single-phase or three-phase. While there are some similarities between the two, there are also […]

Like any other pump, submersible pumps are used to move fluid from one point to another; however, they are completely submerged in the fluid or medium they are required to pump. This type of pump features a hermetically sealed motor that is close-coupled to the pump body, which is contained in a water-tight enclosure to […]

In many fluid pumping applications, pumps have to be placed above the level of liquid, allowing air into the line, which can lead to challenges such as overheating and pump failure. To avoid these issues, self-priming pumps are used to evacuate the air before moving liquids. At Gainesville Industrial Electric (GIE), we offer a variety […]

Centrifugal and positive displacement pumps are powerful tools that can move fluid through complex industrial and municipal systems. But it’s essential to choose the right equipment for your facility’s needs. Here, we’ll discuss the differences between the two pump types, the fluids they can handle, and some of the most popular applications of each pump. […]
