Invertek Drives Ltd, a global innovator and manufacturer of variable frequency drive (VFD) technology, has celebrated producing its three millionth VFD.
The landmark arrived just three years after the two-million milestone, which sources say is proof of rapidly growing demand for Invertek Drives' energy-saving solutions.
Its Optidrive VFDs play a crucial role in reducing energy consumption of up to 50 per cent in some applications and associated emissions. By precisely controlling electric motors, they ensure they only use the power needed for the specific task, significantly reducing wasted energy. This technology is particularly impactful considering estimates suggest over 80 million electric motors operate globally without VFD control.
Designed and manufactured at the company's headquarters near Welshpool, UK, the production of the three millionth VFD represents Invertek Drives' ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability.
“Tackling energy waste and emissions is a global priority," said Adrian Ellam, CEO of Invertek Drives Ltd. "Our VFDs provide a powerful and proven solution. Expanding their use will significantly impact environmental sustainability. We innovate relentlessly, ensuring our technology remains at the forefront of efficiency.
“We are expanding our Innovation team significantly to create next generation VFD products as more and more industries and sectors adopt such technology to increase efficiencies in systems and reduce energy consumption, leading to improved profitability.”
Specialty Products, Too
Invertek's dedication to energy efficiency extends to specialized product lines, such as its Optidrive Coolvert VFDs designed specifically for heat pump and refrigeration systems.
This investment has been key in securing large OEM contracts within the rapidly expanding heat pump market. As governments and businesses prioritise shifting away from traditional heating systems globally, the Coolvert range is critical in optimising heat pump performance while delivering significant energy savings.
