and our personal commitment to make them work in
practice on your site, with your personnel.
Simplicity and reliability are keywords applying to our
products and solutions, as well as the service and
support that our committed professionals provide.
This saves you energy in every sense of the word!

Complete drive solutions

Creating a complete drive solution optimized for your process will
give your industrial application the best total performance and give
you peace of mind. We provide a complete solution where other
companies need to add external equipment. This makes installation
and commissioning not only easy but also cost-efficient.

We can deliver the engineering, automation, transformer, AC

drive, motor and cabinets in an integrated solution with advanced
functionality optimized for your application, in consultation with
your team. Our modular design philosophy lets us deliver complete
solutions based on standard products regardless of the application
area water handling, material handling, or cranes.

1. MATERIAL HANDLING
Working in mining, mineral processing and cement making means
harsh operating and environmental conditions. Heavy loads, abrasive dust and dirt, and extreme weather and temperatures, often in
remote locations. Our Emotron drive solutions can help control dozens or even hundreds of processes in order to optimise their perfor-

mance under varying input conditions and with varying demand by

controlling the speed of the motor driving the process. Our offering
ranges from 0.5 kW to 3 MW at voltages up to 690 V.

2. CRANES
Our crane drive solutions, based on a wide range of standard components, can easily be configured for robust service in major crane
types: Harbour container cranes (STS, RMG, RTG), grab portal
cranes and slewing cranes. Industrial EOT bridge cranes such as
grab, hook and ladle cranes or portal cranes. Tower cranes for the

building construction business. Special features include optimised

grab control, electronic flange control for fully synchronised travel for
rail-mounted cranes. Our active front end regenerative units improve
the energy-efficiency for cranes.

3. WATER HANDLING
Whether you are operating in irrigation, sewage treatment, flood control or a process industry, we can set up a system dimensioned for
your needs, with all necessary safety limits installed. Our AC drives
adapt the pressure/flow to the level required. Our softstarters and
shaft power monitors offer protection from unnecessary downtime,

energy loss and equipment damage. Warning and safety stop levels
are easy to set. Deviations from normal operation are quickly detected over the whole speed range, thanks to our patented pump load
curve protection.

Our contributions
to sustainability
We put all of our energy into saving yours. This slogan
isnt just our attitude. It reflects the core of our operations
improving energy efficiency to reduce electric energy
consumption and reducing the overall carbon footprint
of industrial processes.
Our Emotron solutions save energy and reduce
dependence on fossil fuels, thereby reducing
environmental impact and contributing to sustainable
operations. They also enable significant savings in
kilowatt hours and carbon emissions, reducing costs
for our customers and for society.
When you look at applications where we make
a difference, you find us contributing to positive
environmental impacts. For example, enabling
oxygenation of wastewater in biological cleaning
processes through variable speed drives; or doubling
the pumping capacity of a municipal groundwater
station while saving energy.

Standard
products
Our modular design philosophy lets us deliver
complete solutions based on standard, well
proven products whether the demanding
industrial application is for cranes, water or
material handling.

Synchronised portal crane with high precision

Pumps in sewage treatment plant

This portal crane at Straubing lock near Donau, Germany, was modernised to allow synchronised precision control of two
hoist drives and two trolley drives working in tandem. They handle a stop log gate of 80 tonnes, 27 m wide with only 3
cm allowance on either side. The nominal load is 100 t + 50 t, with a hoisting distance of 21 m. Operations continue with
no jamming of stop logs, while allowing double nominal speed of hoists in single operation with a partial load.

This sewage treatment plant used to use inefficient valves used to control the start and stop sequences and mechanical
stress created maintenance issues. After they installed Emotron MSF softstarters, they experienced considerable savings
and more reliable operation. Pumps are now operating at full speed, unplanned downtime is no longer a problem and they
benefit from reduced operation costs. The money saved in the first year alone paid for the investment.

Bridge cranes in the

aluminium industry

A movable gold mine

The Yanacocha gold mine in Peru presented a real challenge: The 4200m
altitude is extra tough on electrical equipment, because thin air reduces
cooling capacity and electrical isolation. Power comes on cables 30-50
km long, and then there are the standard conditions for mining: huge
temperature variations, humidity, rain, dust and sand. In 2009 CG provided drives and soft starters for deep well pumps that dry out parts
of the mountain before blasting. These pump systems are portable,
and move every 3-4 weeks to a new location. Ruggedness and ease
of maintenance are key items in keeping this operation going strongly.

CG Drives & Automation has built crane drive solutions controlling

70 cranes for NFC Metallurgical Machinery Company in Shenyang,
a major player in the Chinese aluminium industry. These cranes operate in a demanding environment, with extreme temperatures and
hazardous particles. Dropping a load could cause an explosion. Our
Emotron-powered solutions proved to have 30% longer durability, after NFC evaluated and compared major international brands.

Pumps in process industry

variable flow or constant pressure
The challenge at this chemical plant was to increase efficiency and
reduce operating costs. Regulating the flow/pressure with motor
speed using Emotron FDU AC drives instead of valves made the
operation more efficient. Set-up was quick and easy, because after
the first AC drive had been set, the settings were easily transferred
to the other drives. The energy savings alone paid back the investment in less than a year. Another result was reduced maintenance
costs and extended equipment lifetime.

Monster transport
Hi-res will
be added by
CG/Anna

This huge machine operating about 1000 km east of Moscow

mines and crushes limestone for cement production in one of the
largest cement plants in the region, run by JSC Mordovcement.
Commissioned in 2009, this 202m long and 48m high giant can
handle 1700 tonnes per hour, with the help of 18 Emotron automated drives four for steering alone.
