Danfoss Decentral Drives eliminate downtime at Rosslyn’s Brewery in South Africa

“We have found the FCD 300 series to be the most reliable decentral drive on the market”, says Mr. Martin Schurmann, the technical director at KHS in Johannesburg.

VLT® 5000 series drives control the machinery for the labellers. For the conveyors, the VLT® drives were installed directly on the conveyors in order to save the space for new electrical panels and to minimise time and the costs that would have been involved with installing of long motor cables.

VLT® and Bauer Geared Motors make cheese tasty

The Alpma fully automatized plant for production of semisolid cut cheese was designed for an unusually high capacity of 1,800,000 litres of milk per day, made on two parallel production lines.

Alpma relies on the efficient Danfoss geared motors and frequency converters in the VLT® 5000 range. Large order for South America

Leading Indian Sugar companies choose Danfoss Drives

Upper Ganges Sugar and Industries Ltd. (UGSIL), and Ramgarh Chini Mills (RCM), have selected Danfoss VLT® frequency converters for their bagasse-based cogeneration plant. Danfoss VLT® frequency converters  are already working in two other Indian projects at Uttam Sugars and Prabhulingeshwar Sugars respectively.

In these power plants, VLT® drives operate fans, boiler feed water pumps and increase manufacturer’s ROI

Benefits from a VLT® solution for Caledon Malting: substantially reduced maintenance costs as the wear on gear pins is reduced, operational reliability is higher, risk of gearbox failure is eliminated due to the even load on all six motors and gear boxes, and automatic monitoring function detect any cable and motor failure. This is fully controlled from the SCADA screens in the control room without disrupting the process.

VLT® SyncPos control hots up choc-ice production

Synchronism between the cutter and the wrapper/transfer plate is critical in a choc-ice production line. Initially it was achieved by optical system and PLC. But mist formation reduced the reliability of the system.

By the SyncPos feature, the optical system and the PLC could be superseded. +/- position increment pushbuttons were added to enable fine tuning by the operators.

VLT® is now Van Uitert’s standard solution.

Danfoss quality made the Dutch company Van Uitert win a project for the Dutch dairy company Friesche Vlag.
The project was up against a very tight time schedule.  Additionally, Van Uitert had to get all drives up and running in a very short time.

VLT® frequency drives for high quality pet food

The reliability of Danfoss drives plays an important role for Nestlé Purina.
“We have only one production line.” says Maarten Wolde.

Nestlé has used Danfoss Drives for many years. Danfoss drives have a very long service life. The old Danfoss Drives installed many years ago were still going strong. Only because of the need for Profibus communication, Purina was forced to replace these old drives for newer Danfoss models.
