Yaskawa Whitepaper: Lumber Mill Solution Upgraded with Energy Efficient Matrix Drives

The benefits related to energy savings when using variable frequency drives (VFDs) in pipeline pump and compressor stations are well established. Drives provide the precise control needed for increasing or decreasing flow along a pipeline. The result is greater efficiency and energy savings than an across-the-line motor starter that requires the use of control valves to manage flow.

Many industries around the world face challenges with corrosive environments, whether it is inside their facilities with air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, or outdoors with corrosive factors such as water and salt fog. Corrosion is the single largest cause of the breakdown of machinery, structures, supports, and motor control equipment in a plant.
