Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
CanLift has created a custom line of NEMA1 and NEMA 3R/4 Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) products that our expert in-house team has developed in partnership with our customers in order to determine their precise needs and requirements. VFDs have myriad useful applications:
- Power generation
- Oil and gas pumping
- Industrial or manufacturing conveyor belts
- Pulp and paper mills
- Mining
- Fans
- Chillers
- Rock crushers
- Extruders
Benefits of the Product
- Reduces disturbances to the power grid
- Controls the operating speed of the motor
- Adjusts the torque force
- Controls multiple motors from one unit
- Reduces wear-and-tear on equipment
- Extends the service life of a motor
- Withstands adverse envrionmental conditions and harsh terrain (offshore and desert use)
- Reduces energy consumption and cost
We have four VFD options in our line that have differing capacities and features depending on your particular requirements.
