Tue 7th Apr 2009 - Cost effective solutions to reduce energy cost !
In a World of ever increasing energy costs, a priority for us is to help customers achieve reductions in their annual running costs. By ensuring our products are correctly sized and energy efficient, Torsion Dynamics can ensure that customers reduce their power consumption and therefore save money. This combined with more accurate control over motors and inverter drives results in more effective machine management.
When evaluating energy use, the entire drive system, comprising inverter, motor and gearbox, should always be considered as the total efficiency determines how much electric energy is required for a defined process. Work often focuses on increasing the efficiency of the electric motor although greater energy savings can in many cases be obtained by optimally adapting the drive to the operating process.
The latest range of Inverter and Servo Drives from Lenze follow three distinct approaches to the problems,
1. Using electrical energy efficiently
2. Converting energy with a high degree of efficiency
3. Utilising the recovered braking energy.
We also supply Energy Efficient Motors and Drives from the Baldor Super-E range, which can be tailored to suit customers exact requirements.
Please contact us at Torsion Dynamics for a copy of the various booklets on energy saving drive solutions.
