That includes reducing power consumption, increasing flow, and it’s all coupled with monitoring/editing control with our state-of-the-art systems.” Maximum Speed “Technology is incredibly important to our business,” says Jason, “which is why we are the market leader in variable-speed drives within our industry. That enables our customers to have the most efficiently engineered systems, and reducing the total life cost to boot.” Variable-speed drives – also known as adjustable speed drives – are a specialty of Becker Pumps. This simple piece of equipment is used to control the speed of machinery, and thus the rates of production on entire assembly lines. Almost
6 | Becker Engineering all industrial processes must operate at different speeds, depending on the delicacy of the product and how quickly it can be assembled and tested. Becker’s product can be trusted to ensure that the correct speeds are achieved. In addition, variable speed drives are also a source of energy savings, as varying the flows of pumps and fans may allow for more efficient flow control when compared to other techniques. Becker makes sure, therefore, to invest a great deal of their money in that technology. “It’s fairly costly,” says Jason, “but we’re absolutely dedicated to improving the range of variable-speed drive technology within all of our You Can See Our new VTLF 2 series dry rotary vane pumps are clearly bet Not only does the VTLF 2 pump run cooler and quieter than level*, the world’s most popular pump in CNC router applicat for those applications where dirt and dust is present.
