Drives for cost-efficient metal recycling.

You know the situation: 

• Exploding electricity costs are putting a strain on your budget.
• Powerful motors drive your machines and consume huge amounts of energy.
• Wet, dirty and harsh conditions make life difficult for your systems. 

What if there was a solution that could reduce your costs and protect your machines at the same time?

Mitsubishi Electric makes it possible! 

With our state-of-the-art frequency inverters, you can optimise the speed and torque of your motors. This not only saves you money, but:

• Reduces your energy costs noticeably.
• Avoids high load peaks and the associated penalties.
• Reduces maintenance and wear costs.
• Extends the service life of your machines. 

Our technology ensures that your systems work reliably and efficiently even under the toughest conditions - and best of all: your quality remains first class!

Due to the energy crisis, electricity costs have skyrocketed and are expected to remain above pre-crisis levels in the medium to long term.

A significant portion of costs in recycling comes from powerful motors that drive numerous machines. Mitsubishi Electric’s frequency inverters significantly reduce energy costs by adjusting the speed and torque of motors to match the current needs of your machines. For instance, using a frequency inverter on the main motor of a shredder can save up to 7-10% of a recycling plant's energy costs. In air treatment systems, energy costs can be reduced by more than 50%, and there are also substantial savings for conveyor belts.

Frequency inverters help avoid peak loads. Energy providers base their prices on the highest consumption spikes. By preventing these peaks, your down payments are significantly reduced.

• Frequency inverters optimize the energy efficiency of drives.
• 7-10% lower energy costs on the shredder's main motor!
• More than 50% lower energy costs for air treatment!

• Frequency inverters prevent high load peaks and thus avoid penalties from energy providers.
• They also prevent equipment failures.

Frequency inverters reduce starting current, which extends its life time. When a motor starts directly from the power line, it requires significant amounts of current, putting long-term strain on the drive. 

Frequency inverters enhance the life time of heavy equipment by ensuring controlled motor operation with smooth starts and stops. Additionally, since they operate electronically, there is less wear and tear from mechanical friction. This means that maintenance-intensive drives are replaced with low-maintenance frequency inverters.

• Reduced maintenance through current control
• Increased life time of your machines
