We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Inverter Drives",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Reliable drive system for waste water site from
Brevini, which we summarised at the time by saying "Brevini designed a reliable replacement drive system for Yorkshire Water's Rawcliffe sewage treatment works using efficiency motors, inverter drives and high-toque Brevini planetary reduction
gears".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release AC motors for washdown and corrosive environments from
Baldor UK: "Baldor has added IEC-frame models to its range of all-stainless-steel washdown-duty AC motors that are capable of withstanding aggressive food and pharmaceutical processing cleaning regimes".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Fläkt Woods
concerning its Fan warranty
- take a look at Fan warranty extended with inverter drives
which says: "Flakt Woods has launched a five year warranty on its fans, applicable when the fans are purchased with one of its inverter drives".
Take a look also at the news release from Mitsubishi Electric Automation Systems, PLC controlled mobile air conditioning,
as well as Cubicle drives do not need special panels from Mitsubishi Electric Automation Systems,
and UK seminars show how to save energy from Brammer.
