Frequency inverters for conveyor belts: Efficient motor operation depending on loads
The use of frequency inverters to drive the motors for conveyor belts offers numerous advantages.
Frequency inverters for conveyor belts:
- guarantee a constant speed, which ensures a smooth flow of material
- offer overload protection, which extends the life time of the components and
- are easy to install, saving time and money.
These benefits make it worthwhile to use frequency inverters for conveyor belts to maximize operational efficiency and minimize maintenance costs. Find out more about the effects of frequency inverters in the metal recycling plant here.
Frequency inverters ensure a constant speed of the conveyor belts
Frequency inverters enable precise control of the motor speed, allowing the conveying speed to be adapted exactly to the requirements of the process. The energy consumption for lighter metals is reduced. The motors therefore always operate in the optimum working range. This ensures energy-efficient operation and saves energy costs in metal recycling.
A constant speed of the conveyor belts is also crucial for smooth and continuous production. The risk of jams or uneven material flows is minimized.
// Minimizing jams and uneven material flows
// Adaptation of the motor speed to loads on conveyor belts
// Energy saving at partial load
Overload capacity of frequency inverters for conveyor belts
Another important advantage of frequency inverters in conveyor belts is their overload capacity. Conveyor belts are often subjected to high loads, especially during sudden load changes or when handling heavy metals.
Frequency inverters provide protection against overload by monitoring and adjusting the speed and torque of the motor. This prevents damage to the mechanical components and reduces wear. This increases the life time of the conveyor belt system and reduces maintenance costs.
// Protection against overload
// Reduction of damage to mechanical components
// Reduction in maintenance costs
Easy installation of frequency inverters for conveyor belts
Frequency inverters are characterized by their simple installation, which considerably simplifies the installation and commissioning of conveyor belts.
Our frequency inverters are designed to be compact and user-friendly so that they can be easily integrated into existing systems. This simple installation saves time and costs during installation and enables the conveyor system to be commissioned quickly.
