A new conveyor system for yoghurt lines at Yoplait relies on 85 inverter and geared motor drives from Lenze. With yoghurt production on three eight-hour shifts, perfect control is essential to achieve high process consistency and quality with such sensitive milk-based products.
The Lenze SMD inverters have power ratings of 0.37kW and 0.75kW. The GKR gearboxes have an efficiency of 96%, which will result in electricity cost savings of over £3,000 a year for Yoplait.
Lenze provides geared motors that are maintenance free for 15,000 hours. Its SMD inverters can be exchanged by unskilled personnel without the need to plug in a laptop, which results in minimum downtime.
