[Case Study] From hydraulic drive to inverter drive! Shortening of production schedule.

The existing MARK 3 was updated from hydraulic drive to inverter drive. This led to a shortened production schedule and a reduction in consumables, resulting in cost savings.

We received an inquiry from Company N, a manufacturer producing refined white sugar as a pharmaceutical additive, stating, "We are currently using an existing MARK 3 hydraulic machine, which is aging, and we are considering upgrading to an inverter type. However, since we operate 24 hours, switching from hydraulic to inverter type with two motions would extend the production schedule due to longer startup and braking times. We want to shorten the schedule as much as possible." In response, we proposed and delivered an inverter type with one motion instead of the existing two-motion scraper, as reducing startup and braking times would cause it to stop due to overload. In terms of the movement of the scraper component: - In the case of two motions, the sequence is: engagement → descent → retraction → ascent. - In one motion, the sequence is: engagement → retraction only. By adopting one motion, we can shorten the production schedule. Our technical department calculated the time estimates for the one-motion setup, confirming that production could be achieved with a schedule nearly identical to the hydraulic system. Additionally, since there are no consumable scraper bellows, we could also reduce costs. This proposal was well received and highly evaluated by the client. *For further details, please refer to "Basic Information."*
