Energy efficient, flexible, reliable
– the new Danfoss conveyor solution
offering total flexibility in your plant design
The demand for higher energy efficiency, different motor technologies and both centralised and decentralised
plant designs has increased the number of solutions in use today for electrical drive components such as
motors and frequency converters in many production plants. This leads to large stocks of spare parts, high
training costs, dependence on a single manufacturer and a lack of flexibility. Danfoss expects the new flexible
VLT® solution for conveyors to make sweeping changes in this area and significantly reduce effort and costs.
The new Danfoss conveyor solution –
consisting of the new VLT® Decentral
Drive FCD 302, VLT® OneGearDrive
and VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302
gives plant engineers and operators
a very high degree of flexibility in
the choice of components and plant
structures. Regardless of whether the
plant design is centralised or decentralised
and whether the drives are
used in dry, wet or aseptic areas, the
flexible VLT® concept provides highly
efficient components for every
conveying task. The concept aims to
optimise costs in tailored drive systems
as result of high flexibility, high
efficiency, reduced version count and
an intelligent control concept.
High flexibility
Thanks to the open system architecture
of the flexible VLT® concept,
plant operators can easily and reliably
combine components with existing
solutions from other manufacturers,
for example when expanding
or refitting the plant, to achieve the
required optimum configuration.
Furthermore, the new VLT® concept
is currently the only solution on the
market offering EHEDG-certified
components specifically designed
for installation directly in plant areas
where hygiene is critical. All components
are coordinated with each
other to ensure rapid commissioning
and optimum efficiency of the
overall solution.
High efficiency
Without exception, the Danfoss
components used in this solution,
whether for new plants or for retrofitting
or modernising existing plants,
are highly efficient and comply with
the actual requirements of users and
the latest EU regulations on motors
and motor efficiency.
Simpler configuration
The range of components reduces
the overall number of variants in the
plant by up to 70%. In many cases we
are able to provide end-to-end solutions
for conveyor applications with
just a few variants, so spare parts
stocks can be considerably smaller
than is currently the case.
