Beltrame Group
Forty-eight Optidrive P2 and Ecos are used to control water pumps in the cooling systems on six continuous casting lines in the Beltrame Group foundry in Italy. Optidrive Eco, with its innovative energy saving features, were specified in a range of sizes up to 22kW.
Innovative energy saving features
Optidrive P2 uses the latest VFD technology to deliver 200 per cent torque down to 0.0Hz, allowing the open loop product to be used without any feedback device in many traditional closed loop applications. Designed specifically for fan and pump applications the Optidrive Eco maximises energy saving with its sleep mode feature and an automatic energy optimiser function, which reduces the motor voltage to match the load.
The Optidrives were supplied to Beltrame by Invertek Drives Sales partner in Italy, SP Electric S.p.A.
