One third of the electricity we use in industry is wasted. This not only puts a strain on the power grid, it also harms the environment and, of course, costs companies money unnecessarily. Most of this loss is due to older electric motors and rotating machinery such as pumps, conveyors, mixers, etc.
Without replacing this equipment, the use of variable frequency drives can largely remedy this inefficiency. Frequency converters are an environmentally friendly and cost-saving solution for controlling the speed of electric motors - they match the speed of the motor to the demand. This means the equipment gets exactly as much power as it needs at the moment. Electricity costs are greatly reduced, and nothing is lost in terms of performance.
We offer our customers frequency converters from Danfoss and NFO Drives.

Our suppliers
We are a designated partner of Danfoss Drive Pro
Founded in 1933, the manufacturer has been working in the field of energy efficiency for over 50 years. With its focus on the development, manufacture and supply of frequency converters, Danfoss Drives offers a broad product portfolio that is characterized by:
- high quality and flexible application
- maximized process performance spectra
- efficient energy-saving options and minimal emissions
Since the merger with VACON in 2015, Danfoss has become the leading manufacturer of drive solutions. This means that even small niches, special customer needs and cross-industry solutions can be served.
Possible application areas include refrigeration and air conditioning, buildings (commercial/residential), district heating, industry, food and beverage, energy and natural resources and industry.
We are a designated partner of NFO Drives
NFO Drives AB has been producing frequency inverters since 1996 with the aim of making motors for pumps, fans and other devices more efficient and environmentally friendly. With their small footprint and a power range of up to 22kW, they are ideal for lighter industrial applications and where space is limited.
NFO inverters are characterized above all by simple installation, high personal safety and quiet operation. This is how they are and exist
- No shielded cables required
- no additional components required
- unlimited motor cable length
- No bearing & earth currents
- Possible operation on residual current circuit breaker (RCD)
- No electromagnetic interference
- No disturbing switching noises
- Possible use in an environment close to the home
These advantages enable a wide range of applications in ventilation systems, pumps, light industrial applications, power plant construction (oil/gas), heating, waste and fresh water, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, mechanical engineering and agriculture.
Environmental awareness pays off in the first year
Frequency converters save enormous amounts of power-often around 50% of normal use-in extreme cases, power consumption can be reduced over 70%. The greater the original power consumption was, the more noticeable the savings.
For this very reason, frequency converters are extremely important not only for the environment, but also financially for energy-intensive businesses. The investment involved in installing an inverter pays for itself again in the first year for many businesses.
