ST Servo Pump System

ST Servo Pump System

• The NOVA sT is powered by a servo-motor driven gear pump system, using the very latest technology from renowned component suppliers such as Rexroth and Baumuller.
• Improved process control reduces reject levels
• Lower power consumption results in a lower cooling requirement
• Much less noise for a better working environment
• Longer oil life, longer lasting hydraulic components and reduced maintenance
• These performance enhancements combine to produce a more profitable moulding process for the owner.
• This arrangement, coupled with special energy optimising software from Negri Bossi, provides the user with excellent energy efficiency, reduced power consumption, and a more profitable manufacturing process.
• An analysis of energy consumption during the various phases of a typical moulding cycle shows that the servo pump solution produces a superior result, when compared to more traditional hydraulic power systems.
• The following is one example showing how the NOVA sT provides the customer with important savings in energy usage.
• Noise levels are much reduced, producing an improved working environment.
