// WHAT WE DO

Comprehensive repair of DC machines

Elektropromremont LLC performs comprehensive repair of DC electric machines of Ukrainian and foreign manufacture, operated in metallurgy, mining, transport, crane facilities, and other industries.

We restore both the electrical and mechanical parts of the machine: armature winding repair and manufacturing, rewinding or manufacturing of main and commutating poles, commutator repair and manufacturing, and restoration of the brush gear, shafts, bearing assemblies, and cooling systems.

A full production cycle lets us carry out repairs at a single facility — from initial fault detection and drawing restoration to dynamic balancing, assembly, and final testing.
