Packaging production depends on motors, gearboxes, drives, servo systems, electronic equipment and precision-engineered components working reliably.
When one of those components fails, getting the right solution quickly matters.
Fletcher Moorland provides engineering support to packaging manufacturers across the UK, covering rotating equipment repair, industrial electronics repair, reliability services and precision engineering.
Fletcher Moorland have been welcoming trainee engineers from across the UK to our Stoke-on-Trent headquarters for a specialist session: “An Introduction to Electric Motors.”
Fletcher Moorland were recently approached by Stoke-on-Trent College to support 16 of their HNC General Engineering Apprentices with “Day in Industry” workshops. As an Engineering Company that prides itself on investing in its team, we welcomed the opportunity to support Stoke-on-Trent College with the development of their HNC General Engineering Apprentices.
Fletcher Moorland are proud to support Quarrying & Aggregate industries with engineering maintenance support.
Electro-mechanical and Electronic maintenance is crucial to the success of the quarrying and aggregate industries. These sectors rely on complex machinery, from conveyors and crushers to vibratory feeders and screening systems. Proper maintenance ensures that these vital components operate efficiently, reducing downtime and maximising productivity. In an industry where time is money, preventative machinery health monitoring, can be a life line when even a brief halt in operations can lead to significant losses.
Fulfilment and Distribution Centres are vital to the UK economy, ensuring efficient storage, processing, and delivery of goods. They support e-commerce, retail, supermarkets and manufacturing by streamlining supply chains, reducing costs, and improving delivery times. As hubs for logistics and employment, they enhance the UKs economic resilience and meet growing consumer and business demands.
Fletcher Moorland understand that Maintenance Engineering is vital in Food & Beverage production, ensuring operational efficiency, product quality, and compliance with safety standards. Maintenance Engineering in Food & Beverage production helps minimise equipment downtime and prevent unexpected failures. Safeguarding production schedules and improving cost-effectiveness. Proper maintenance supports hygiene, reduces waste, and enhances sustainability.
The UK Rail network is integral infrastructure for economic success and is central to the UK in achieving environmental sustainability and regional connectivity.
Many aspects of rail infrastructure rely on electronic and electro-mechanical components. Fletcher Moorland are experienced in supporting both these areas of rail maintenance.
Let’s look at what would happen in service if the bearing fit is loose. The electric motor would of course run, but soon afterwards the outer race would move. There would be wear, there would be play, there would be vibration, the driven machinery maybe affected, the electric motor would be coming out again. Equally, if the fit was too tight.
Wind Turbines are made up of a number of mechanical and electrical components. The operational lifespan of a Turbine is estimated to be on average 20 years, extending to 30 with appropriate scheduled maintenance.
Fletcher Moorland can help to repair, maintain and replace electrical and mechanical components to keep your Turbines operating efficiently. A far more eco-friendly solution to the traditional route of them being scrapped!

Ok, maybe not a typical opening to a website post but it’s a good one. Here’s an example of something that any user of electric motors doesn’t want to see at all on their motor’s bearings. The ‘old favourite’, signs of circulating shaft current damage. The typical example that we’ve probably all seen in photos is the fluting or washboard …
Should I Use A Mulitmeter To Test My Electric Motor? ASK FOR EXPERT HELPCALL FLETCHER MOORLANDOk you might think, however that’s where the problem is, they tested a motor of 200kW with a multimeter. We realise that there are many of you probably reading this realising the problem straight away, however these things happen and we’d like to educate those …
