Fourth Quarter 2022
Electrical switching & drive systems & components
As an electro-mechanical solutions provider to many industries throughout Africa, including the mining sector, Vert Energy showcased products and services at this year’s Electra Mining Exhibition from its three specialist divisions – Electric Power Generation, Electric Motors and Drives, and Energy on Call.
“Vert Energy has a close a partnership with Nidec Control Techniques, and we launched the new Commander S200 drive at the show. This is the first drive that has been designed with NFC Technology and an app interface as a standard feature, enabling the user to program the drive from a mobile phone,” explains sales and marketing director, Ryan Robertson. “With a feature set that has been optimised for simple applications, this advanced system provides a cost-efficient solution for installations that require plug and play convenience, particularly in remote locations across the continent. The Marshall app provides a new way to interface with the drive, covering commissioning, monitoring, diagnostics and support.
The stand also showcased some of Vert’s key branded products, including the Yanmar engines, which range from 9 to 60 kVA, and AGG engines from 50 to 250 kVA. Also on display were power management solutions from DEIF.
“Product efficiency, competitive market positioning, pristine quality standards and guarantees of extended service life are Vert Energy’s critical selection criteria,” concludes Robertson.
