R.D. Strickland Now a Distributor for Nidec / U.S. Motors Carbonator Pump Motors

R.D. Strickland is pleased to announce that we are now an official distributor for Nidec / U.S. Motors, one of the most trusted manufacturers of electric motors used in commercial and industrial applications.

These motors are widely recognized for their reliability, durability, and compatibility with carbonator pump systems, making them an ideal pairing for the rotary vane pumps we supply and service across Canada.

Our team regularly assembles pump and motor combinations for beverage systems, water treatment equipment, manufacturing processes, and specialty fluid transfer applications. With the addition of Nidec motors to our product lineup, we can now offer customers complete pump and motor assemblies from a single source.

While we can supply many different motor configurations, we are currently focusing on four popular carbonator pump duty motors that pair perfectly with our pump systems.
