Starkstrom Scotland have recently completed a COATER PRINTER upgrade. The machine prints and coats paper for a specialist market. The old machine’s speed control was primarily from a RENOLDS adjustable gearbox from a fixed speed 15 kW motor. The old system had a pony motor that adjusted the gearing. The RENOLDS unit had performed very well for probably over 40 years but was starting to give problems. Starkstrom have integrated a turnkey solution with VSD driven motor gearbox. The new VSD provides a speed reference for the Printer section. Benefits to the customer include: improved reliability, better speed control, reduced energy consumption, easier to maintain, increased machine safety.
