SynRM Improves Energy Use Reduces Maintenance And Lowers Noise In Pipe Extruder

Constant torque application benefits from SynRM technology Up to 15 percent lower energy use, a significant reduction in motor maintenance costs and a drop in audible noise are achieved with the installation of an ABB synchronous reluctance motor and drive (SynRM) package on a twin extruder application. Radius Systems’ plant in Derbyshire, UK, houses 14 extrusion lines, each of which produces polyethylene pipes from 16 mm to 1200 mm, together with an injection-moulding facility making…
