EcoDrive
Siempelkamp has developed the energy-efficient drive system EcoDrive for the ContiRoll® main drives. This system meets tomorrow’s legal and standard demands on the energy efficiency of drive systems already today. It comprises frequency converters, motor and gearbox - all well-tuned to one another.
In addition to the energy efficiency our R&D-work focussed on an improved precision and controllability of the entire drive system. The focus is on high belt speeds, precise r.p.m. for a synchronous operation of the steel belts, torques adjusted to the characteristic load line in connection with the hydraulic pressure/position control, good performance, good uptimes and ease of maintenance. This corresponds to the demand on a very high product quality and an on-demand energy consumption even in partial load operation. This new drive system is able to save more than 10 % of the electrical drive energy compared to traditional Solutions.
