Customers controlling pumps with Emotron solutions
Emotron offers efficient and reliable control of your pumps. Read about how customers have reduced maintenance, downtime and energy costs by installing Emotron products.
Emotron pump control distributes heat in Sollentuna
Sollentuna Energi uses Emotron FDU variable speed drives to control pumps in a booster station to maintain the pressure in their district heating network’s pipes.
“Installation was simple and cheap thanks to the small size and high enclosure class", says Peter Johannisson, installer from Pumphuset.
“The removable control panel means it’s easy to transfer settings between Emotron FDU units.”
Saving energy and reducing wear in process industry
Hydro Polymers manufactures PVC. Emotron variable speed drives and softstarters are used to control pumps, fans, blowers, mixers, mills and centrifuges used in the production process.
”Controlling the speed of the pumps instead of throttling the valves brings major benefits for us. It saves energy and reduces the wear on the equipment", says Martin Ljungqvist, the supervisor of the electrical department.
Energy and equipment savings at sewage treatment plant
When installing Emotron products the result was more reliable control and a reduction in energy consumption and wear. Variable speed drives and softstarters regulate pumps, blowers and mixers, and shaft power monitors protect screw conveyors and scrapers.
“One advantage of Emotron products is that they can withstand harsh environments and be located within the plant", says electrician Johan Arvidsson. “No costly cabling or cabinets are required.”
Pumps and dykes protect Kristianstad against flooding
The municipality of Kristianstad, Sweden, uses Emotron FDU variable speed drives for pump control in water treatment works as well as in pump stations built to help protect the city against flooding. The results are reduced energy and maintenance costs.
“There’ll never again be a water treatment works without variable speed control", says Works Manager Lennart Hermansen. “We avoid water hammer that causes pipe damage and leaks.”
Great savings through improved pump control
After Boden municipality renovated a pump in one of their pump stations, great savings were achieved through extended service life for the high-pressure pump, no need for motor-operated valves plus reduced pipe-installation dimensions.
“Emotron MSF softstarters have reduced the costs of our mechanical installations", says process technician Lasse Kjellstedt.
