HIMOINSA is now meeting demand for its generator units in Argentina through its new production facility located in Santa Fe.


Covering an area of some 12,000m2, the new centre has the capacity to produce 3,000 generator sets of between 8kVA and 1745kVA/year. Fitted with Cramaco alternators, these generator sets will be wholly manufactured in Argentina and sold both there and in the markets of Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia.

The new Santa Fe factory has been equipped with the latest technology for the manufacture of all generator set components from Cramaco alternators, to canopies, control panels, automatic transfer switches and parallel operating systems. As a result, HIMOINSA Argentina & Cono Sur integrates every phase of the productive process, from design and engineering to sales.

The generator sets that are manufactured in Argentina have a power range of from 8kVA to 1745kVA. These generator sets, which feature 7139 Yanmar, FPT and 3055 Mitsubishi engines and Cramaco alternators made in the same production centre in Santa Fe, are destined to meet the demand of such sectors as Telecommunications, Mining, Construction, Industry, Rental and Oil & Gas. The company also offers gas-powered generator sets with Yanmar and PSI engines.

HIMOINSA has fully integrated the manufacture of alternators with a frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz ever since it purchased Cramaco in 2004. Cramaco alternators feature shortened 2/3 phase windings that guarantee low harmonic distortion with a value of 4% (THD) by phase voltage and with three-phase linear loads. This prevents any damage to the units and is said to provide greater operational safety and efficiency.
