Engineering systems integrator, Allspeeds, has manufactured a 37.5kW Kopp Variator for a customer in Jordan. The new machine replaced an existing variator that has been in service for over 20 years for conveyor control at their plant.
Because of the environmental conditions the variator was to operate in, the customer required something robust and reliable, with the service of an established renown manufacturer. With over 150 years of engineering experience, Allspeeds were chosen for their quality, experience and service together with the good relationship built with the customer over a number of years.
Kopp Variators are mechanical variable speed drives or transmissions used to control speeds on industrial machinery. They are constant power torque converters with extremely accurate speed holding and reset ability. Modern technology demands the ability to change speeds frequently, whether by manual methods or automatic control systems. The Kopp Variator is ideally suited to these requirements as:
- The control mechanism is light, positive and extremely accurate.
- Predetermined speeds can be quickly selected and accurately maintained.
- Readily adaptable to remote control and to applications requiring reverse rotation or braking.
- Compact design with in-line shafts combining easily with standard electric motors and gearboxes.
- Low in cost yet precision built for quiet operation and durability.
- Totally enclosed for use in wet or dusty environments or in hazardous locations demanding explosion proof work.
