Quality to meet the highest demandsTechnology
Soft starter
Intelligent power control- Light-alloy extrusion presses operate more efficiently with a soft starter drive.
- Automatic start-stop function. If the pump is idling, the drive automatically switches off - and only switches on again when power is necessary.
- Assuming 6,000 production hours per year and an average pump load, you can
reduce your energy consumption by 50,000 kWh per drive.
