Emotron AB

Vinterteknik is a Swedish company developing snow cannon and irrigation systems. They use Emotron variable speed drives for controlling the pumps included in their solutions, in order to offer smooth operation and reduced energy costs. In this case, the long distance and the difficult terrain between the control station and pumping station offered a challenge. The solution was remote control of the variable speed drives over the Internet.

Electric motors account for a large share of the electric energy used in industrial and municipal processes. The Swedish company Emotron offers solutions that can make consumption savings of up to 50 per cent. The city of Helsingborg, where Emotron’s head office is located, has now awarded the company the environmental prize for contributions to saving energy and consequently to reducing the impact on the climate.
