A Plus Electric Motor Repair, Inc. repairs, rewinds and replaces industrial electric motors for silica sand, glass, manufacturing and agricultural operations in Ottawa, Illinois. Ottawa sits where the Fox River meets the Illinois River, in one of the country’s major industrial sand regions, and we serve plants throughout LaSalle County.
Call us to schedule a pickup from your Ottawa facility, or ship the motor to our St. Charles shop by freight. If a motor fails after hours, our 24-hour emergency line at (630) 283-8433 gets you a person, not a voicemail box.

Motor Repair for Ottawa Mining and Manufacturing
Ottawa’s industrial base includes silica sand mining and processing, glass manufacturing, metal fabrication, agricultural processing and distribution along I-80 and Route 23. Sand plants run crusher, conveyor, screen, pump and dryer fan motors in abrasive, dusty conditions.
We repair and rewind those motors, rebuild the gearboxes and reducers that drive conveyors and screens, and dynamically balance rotors for long service life.
