SEW-Eurodrive South Africa had a major presence at bauma CONEXPO Africa 2018, with products ranging from the new ECDriveS 24 V drive system for light-load conveyor technology, to its latest DRN series of IE3-compliant motors, and the customised LTP-B Eco Drive for pump and fan control in a range of niche sectors from HVAC to underground mining, National sales manager Norman Maleka commented: “Our aim was to offer complete solutions, as opposed to simply being a component supplier.” He added that bauma CONEXPO Africa 2018 was an ideal platform to target potential end-users of its diverse product range, in a wide variety of industrial sectors.
The ECDriveS is the latest innovation from the drive and automation technology leader, comprising a modular driven roller and gearmotor and boasting a 20% higher power rating and overload capacity. End-users for the new drive system range from OEMs to system integrators and packing houses and even automotive manufacturers.
The latest DRN series of IE3-compliant motors was also displayed as part of the OEM’s Total Solutions approach. “Not only do we keep our customers up to date about all of the benefits of our latest innovations, we also advise on application-specific requirements,” added Maleka.
The customised LTP-B Eco Drive for pump and fan control in a range of niche sectors from HVAC to wine farms and even underground mining was also on display, setting new benchmarks in terms of quality, cost-effectiveness, and energy saving.
