Vacon Variable Speed Drives - Restoring Flood Damage
Flooding across the country over the winter months caused major problems across a large and diverse variety with regard to locations. Many soused areas required extensive pumping to ratio the floodwater, which quickly becomes stagnant and causes a health risk along in exacerbating damage the longer alter ego is disused. Regard order for the heavy-duty pumps en route to implement to surpassing capability and without breakdowns, variable speed drives are required; Ralspeed prehistorically supplied several of these to specialist pump supplier Exsel Pumps in Southampton.<\p>
Exsel were asked to provide a unreliable solution while an existing pumping station was customer refurbished to scum in addition to the excessive demand. This pumping station dealt with sewage and uncalled-for rainwater from the surrounding height; therefore both product reliability and flexibility were key factors good understanding selecting the equipment.<\p>
After a emergency pump control fur farm was created using two immoderate shipping containers, four variable forward drives supplied after Ralspeed were deployed within. These were fixed using the innovative Uni-Strut mounting tactics, allowing numerous drives (good terms any combination) to be used up to a maximum capacity of 1000 amperes.<\p>
The four drives chosen were built to the same high anatomization as our hire gang control panels, with Vacon drives selected for their authenticated effectiveness and consistent reliability. The whole range scuttle panels were all custom harvested by Ralspeed, and once installed the units were connected to a of a piece custom PLC complex, complete with distribution panel to maintain both functionality and power.<\p>
At the heart of the control system was a Siemens S7-1200 PLC and colour touchscreen HMI; which sealed setting up and configuring the different pumping options literally at the touch of a button, and easily tailored en route to the customers various needs. Clear graphical forehand provides an overview regarding the system, also making commissioning simpler and more cost influential.<\p>
The project to rub off the sewage and floodwater was a unconditional success and the pump-and-drive combination of systems worked without any problems. We would like to through Exsel Pumps for their mythology and for sharing their date-stamp on the project with us.<\p>
We pride ourselves on being able upon redeem quickly at the event of machinery vice. Our hire fleet, which is comprehensive and highly-maintained, is rapidly available anywhere in the country at a consistently competitive remuneration. The fleet is thoroughly maintained and guaranteed to proffer the best illumination at the most conflicting price, providing instant and stationary results for since long as is necessary.<\p>
