The winery's owners turned to Invertek, a global leader in the design and manufacturing of variable frequency drives, for advice on controlling some of its pumps used in the wine making process.
They needed drives that were not only efficient, but were capable of being washed down to ensure no contamination during the wine making and bottling process.
Invertek’s IP66 Optidrive E3 variable frequency drive was the perfect solution.
Being fully waterproof, the IP66 enclosure is ideal for such applications as they can be cleaned down with powerful water jets.
The onboard Energy Optimiser of the Optidrive E3, combined with the IE2 motor, also allows the vineyard to market their wine-making process as being very energy efficient.
Kes Beech, Technical Manager at Invertek, said: “With English wine sales continuing to grow because of its high quality, I am delighted that our Optidrive E3 is ensuring these standards continue to be maintained and people can raise a glass to the vineyard’s growing success.
“Optidrive E3 is a perfect solution for the vineyard because it is designed for supreme ease of use. Simply power on and the drive is up and running, providing precise motor control and energy savings using the factory settings,” he added.
