Its products are specified in every environment, from schools and workplaces to hotels and hospitals. Solution Zentia turned to their local Control Techniques’ sales engineer for a solution. Kevin explains, “Our Control Techniques’ sales engineer had visited previously to discuss past projects. So, when we were stuck for parts, he was the first to come to mind.” In less than four days from order, backed up by onsite support, the Control Techniques Unidrive M700 was installed, providing a super speedy solution. The M700 drive controls the speed of the agitator, maximising throughput with superior motor control. The motion functions are carried out ‘on the drive’ to boost system performance.
