Challenges in drive technology

Increasing energy efficiency in drive technology is one of the most significant challenges for the future of our environment. Industrial motors account for 27% of total electricity consumption in Switzerland and electric drives in all sectors almost 50%. Improving the energy efficiency of drive technology is therefore necessary for the success of any climate strategy.

ELEKTRON therefore not only offers competent advice and high performance - we also drive the energy transition. Our quality label "energy efficient solutions" is intended to further underscore our claim to sustainably increase energy efficiency in the industrial sector with expertise and advanced technology.

Modern drive technology pays off

Efficient and modernized drive systems are not only more climate-friendly, the reduced power consumption is also associated with major cost savings. Our drive solutions are always designed with the goal of increasing our customers' competitiveness.

Here, it is often a matter of retrofitting older systems with frequency converters, soft starters and power controllers as required to reduce power consumption without any loss of performance. In this way, the associated investments pay for themselves in a very short time, especially in the case of very energy-intensive operations.

Save energy costs

In many cases, the use of modern drive technology can more than halve power consumption and the associated costs.

Reduce CO2 emissions

A frequency converter with an output of 19.5 kW can save 24'500 kg of CO2 emissions in 10 years in a typical fan application.

Promote sustainability

Increasing energy efficiency in drive technology is particularly important to enable sustainability in the industry as well as the net-zero target in 2050.
