Beverage Line Applications
Filling & Dosing Machines: Precise pump speed control for volumetric accuracy in bottling lines for water, juices, and carbonated beverages
Bottle & Can Conveying: Speed-regulated transport between filler, capper, labeller, and case packer — synchronised to avoid line jams
Refrigeration Compressors: Variable-speed compressor drives reduce energy consumption in cold storage and blast chilling units
Pasteuriser & Tunnel Drives: Controlled conveyor speed through pasteurisation or cooling tunnels ensures correct product temperature profile
EMC Compliance in Food Environments
Food factories use significant quantities of stainless steel structure, VFDs, and switching equipment — creating challenging EMC environments. The Siemens SINAMICS V20 incorporates built-in Class C2 EMC filters in selected frame sizes, minimising electromagnetic interference that could disrupt proximity sensors, weighing systems, or metal detection equipment critical to food safety lines.
Energy Savings on Fans & Pumps
CIP pump stations, HVAC systems, and refrigeration fans in food factories run for extended periods at partial load. The Siemens V20's ECO mode and parabolic V/f characteristic enable up to 50% energy savings on these centrifugal loads — delivering rapid ROI on the drive investment and supporting sustainability targets.
Whether your application is a high-speed beverage bottling line or a batch mixing operation, the SINAMICS V20 provides the process flexibility, EMC compliance, and energy efficiency that food and beverage manufacturers need. Naksh Technology Solution LLP provides authorised supply and application support for the SINAMICS V20 inverter across India's food and beverage processing industry, including application-matched sizing and commissioning assistance.
