Company Announcement - Energy-efficient drive systems are becoming more important than ever in South Africa – given the volatile power supply from the national grid as a result of continued load shedding, as well as surging electricity costs and increasingly-stringent environmental legislation.

Energy costs can constitute up to 90 percent of the lifecycle costs of systems that have not been optimised. Specialist drive engineering company SEW-EURODRIVE is proactively addressing this issue through its newly-launched effiDRIVE energy-saving solutions. SEW-EURODRIVE Mechatronics Engineering Manager, Norman Maleka states that effiDRIVE energy-saving solutions are based on the company’s proven modular concept.

“Even a single efficiency-optimised drive component can positively impact a system’s overall energy balance. The modular energy-saving system only includes components with optimised energy efficiency. Combining these optimised components from the modular energy-saving system can result in 70 percent energy savings,” he says.

The effiDRIVE solution is ideally-suited for numerous industries, including; food and beverage, airport logistics, building ventilation systems, and intralogistics, such as storage and retrieval systems. Another major benefit of the effiDRIVE solution is that it can be retrofitted onto existing machines and systems.
