Built tough for all seasons, WEG Farm Duty motors deliver reliable high starting torque in dusty, moist grain-handling environments. Available in TEFC and TEAO enclosures with manual or automatic thermal overload protection. Perfect for augers, grain dryers, conveyors, and fans. High-efficiency 3PH designs from 1 HP to 100 HP.

WEG Farm Duty motors are engineered for the demanding conditions of modern grain handling and farming operations. Whether you’re powering grain augers, conveyors, grain dryers, or aeration/poultry fans, these motors provide the high starting torque, weather resistance, and overload protection you need to keep your operation running smoothly season after season.

Designed on proven W22 and H-Line platforms, WEG Farm Duty motors feature robust construction with V-ring slingers, double-shielded ball bearings, and Class F insulation (Class B temperature rise) for superior performance in high ambient temperatures. Overload protection (manual reset on most models) safeguards against extreme conditions while maximizing operator safety.
