DRIVES, MOTORS & GEARS TRUSTED PARTNER PARVALUX ELECTRIC MOTORS Made in Britain, used globally GIVING PACKLINE A LIFT The smooth running of any warehouse or factory depends on materials being processed efficiently and safely and getting materials handling processes right can provide a significant competitive advantage. Packline Materials Handling has been manufacturing lifting and handling equipment since 1993 supplying the food, drinks, dairy, pharmaceutical and medical industries. Packline initially contacted Parvalux Electric Motors during 2006 and to support their project, Parvalux modified its PM50-63 DC motor and GB4 gearbox combination. This unit remains specified, today. Managing Director, Paul Winter, says: “We’ve worked with Parvalux for a number of years now and they are a partner we trust. They take the time to understand what we’re trying to achieve and have developed excellent drive solutions that enhance the ‘reliability comes as standard’ message every Packline customer has come to expect from our brand.” HELPING SKOV KEEP THINGS COOL Successful pork and poultry production requires a specific range of environmental conditions; pigs, for example, can’t regulate their body temperature through perspiration because they lack sweat glands anywhere except their snouts. In poultry production, feed consumption, egg weight and shell quality are affected by temperature, air speed, humidity and light. Danish manufacturer, SKOV A/S is the market leader in ventilation and farm management systems for animal production. SKOV chooses Parvalux PM10 LWS geared motors to open fresh air inlets in their ventilation products. These products need to cope with all weather conditions and Parvalux helps meet this challenge by providing gearmotors SKOV’s customers can trust. Parvalux SD8 LWS and SD21 LWS geared motors also drive SKOV’s 20 kg dry feed weighing system. This automated system provides accurate delivery of dry feed during pork production. Like all SKOV products, it’s built to withstand constant use in the most demanding environments. SKOV’s Strategic Purchaser, Lars Ramsdahl says: “Parvalux geared motors deliver the controllable power, reliability and high-quality our customers expect from every SKOV solution and we look forward to continuing our close relationship with Parvalux.” Parvalux builds and customises products in three UK factories and since 1947 has shipped over 20million units to more than 80 countries.
