WEG to showcase high-efficiency motors at ADIPEC 2026

WEG will unveil its W22 Prime motor to the Middle East market at ADIPEC 2026

WEG will showcase its high-efficiency W22 Prime motor as the centrepiece of its stand at ADIPEC 2026. Exhibiting from Hall 11, Stand 11420, WEG will demonstrate its portfolio of electric motors and variable speed drives for oil, gas and energy applications, plus digital solutions and specialist coatings from Heresite.

WEG will highlight the role higher-efficiency motors can play in helping energy-intensive industries improve performance and support their sustainability goals.

The W22 Prime is the latest evolution of WEG’s established W22 induction motor, combining the robustness of the existing platform with IE4 and IE5 efficiency. Designed for new installations and retrofits, it enables industrial operators to improve motor efficiency without major changes to infrastructure. With efficiency of up to 97.4%, the new motor is designed to help oil, gas and petrochemical operators reduce energy consumption and operating costs. Its IE4 and IE5 efficiency models can also replace existing lower-efficiency motors without major infrastructure changes.

The motor can operate either direct-on-line (DOL) or with a variable speed drive (VSD), providing flexibility across fixed- and variable-speed applications.

Available from 11 kW to 1,000 kW, the W22 Prime covers speeds from 750 to 3,000 rpm and is suited to applications including pumps, compressors and fans. IP55 to IP66 protection is available, making the range suitable for demanding environments, including the high temperatures and dust exposure common across the Middle East.

“Energy efficiency is a growing priority for customers across the Middle East,” said Raphael Torrano, managing director of WEG Middle East. “With efficiency of up to 97.4%, the W22 Prime can help reduce energy consumption and operating costs, while delivering greater value from existing infrastructure.”

Also on display will be the W80 AXgen, WEG’s axial flux motor delivering up to 400 kW and IE5+ efficiency. Its compact, lightweight design and liquid cooling provide high power density for space-constrained industrial applications.

Alongside its motor portfolio, WEG will showcase its range of variable speed drives and automation technologies, including the CFW11, CFW320, CFW500 and CFW900 drives, as well as its PLC500 automation platform and MT800 operator interface, highlighting how integrated control solutions can help improve operational visibility and productivity.
In addition, WEG will exhibit its range of variable speed drives, its paints and coatings portfolio, including Heresite protective coatings, and its Motion Fleet Management platform.
