High-speed permanent magnet motor solutions
Up to 40% energy savings
With global water consumption set to rise by almost 50% by 2020, wastewater treatment plants need more energy-efficient technologies. Using an SKF solution, a facility in France reduced energy use by 500,000 kWh, saving €54,000 in energy costs!
Air blowers, which blow oxygen into water tanks to break down organic waste, are energy-intensive machinery. That’s why significant reductions in energy use can make a big difference.
The SKF solution combines the advanced technology of a high-speed permanent magnet motor, active magnetic bearings with an integrated control system and a variable speed drive.
By levitating the rotating components, SKF magnetic bearings enable a friction-free operation and eliminate the need for lubrication. The result? An oil-free solution that delivers between 75-350 kW of energy – with far less noise.
Accommodate instant and frequent start-ups and transient surge forces
Active control system ensures vibration-free performance
Capable of speeds in excess of 40,000 rpm
