PPMA (Processing and Packaging Machinery Association) Show is the exhibition dedicated to packaging processes and machines that takes place every year in Birmingham (UK). The fair is dedicated to packaging with a particular focus on the food and pharmaceutical sectors.
Over the past two years, the packaging process has seen a strong change towards automation and robotization to cope with the lack of physical personnel within the production plants during the Covid 19 pandemic. Considering the missed 2020 event and the numerous new proposals from exhibitors in this evolving market, it makes the 2021 program particularly exciting.
"It will be great to reach a certain level of normality again and return to meet historical and new customers in person. We are also very excited to present our two new products at the fair in Birmingham and show that Lafert is a company that never stops, capable of innovating even during the pandemic." – Brian Bannister, Managing Director Lafert Electric Motors - UK
The most important news will be:
• Smartris, the new integrated solution complete with gear, servo motor and drive in one package for AGV systems. Developed for various types of automated guided vehicles, the integrated package offers high performance, maximum precision, safety and reliability. Our solution is among the most compact on the market thanks to the integrated gear and the optimized use of space inside the AGV, it can operate much closer to the ground.
• HP Combi, a special package that combines a permanent magnet synchronous motor with its matched variable frequency drive. The Combi package combines the IE5 Ultra-Premium efficiency of our permanent magnet synchronous motors with our variable frequency drive (VFD) achieving the highest energy efficiency standards. Three configurations of the motor-drive package – Smart, Flow and Plus – allow it to meet the needs of both variable and constant torque applications.
These two products come from the numerous synergies between Lafert and companies within the Sumitomo Drive Technologies group working together to develop innovative products geared towards a future of integration.
During the PPMA we will exhibit the entire Lafert product portfolio: standard and special asynchronous motors, brushless servomotors, permanent magnet synchronous motors.
The UK market has proven to react positively to the economic effects of the pandemic and requires robust, innovative, reliable motors designed to meet the real needs of the application. Lafert motors are developed to meet the needs of the market and to solve application problems with ease thanks to our consolidated know-how in the sector and the natural commitment to innovation and customization.
