traditional industries for Danfoss. We are the global market
leaders in the textile industry. We do a lot of joint develop-
ment with all the big OEMs in this industry. Our strength
comes from working closely with our customers. We work
with the top customers in the textile industry, both with
machinery manufacturers and with end customers”.
High performance and reliability have always been criti-
cal to textile applications, especially when driving multi-
ple motors at high speeds. VLT drives with MCO motion
control offer the ultimate solution for textile machinery
applications.
VLT drives are designed to meet all the challenging envi-
ronment in textile manufacturing units. They are designed
to be extremely reliable and easy to connect, operate and
service. Today these drives are used in ring spinning, cir-
cular knitting, cone winding, fabric dyeing and other textile
applications.
Danfoss VLT drives help save energy and reduce CO2
emissions. They help improve the efficiency of processes
and the up-time of machinery and enhance safety and
working condition. The drives have a number of features
to improve tolerance towards low quality supplies, adding
even more reliability to the process.
In the spinning segment, the VLT drives allow for
smooth speed control of spindles enhancing productiv-
ity for textile companies. Danfoss has been working
with prestigious firms like Rajapalayam Mills. VLT
control optimizes spindle speeds with minimum vari-
ation according to the type of yarn, saving energy and
maintaining high quality yarn. In textile applications,
Danfoss VLT drives are a cost-effective replacement of
conventional mechanical speed control. They also offer
kinetic back-up providing control of both deceleration
and acceleration in the case of power fluctuations.
“We are clearly in the business of saving energy
for our customers, automating processes and improv-
ing productivity. We have worked with Rajapalayam
Textiles for over two and half decades and helped them
produce high quality yarns which are exported to dif-
ferent countries. We are working with our customers
closely, understand what they need and adapt our prod-
ucts so that it is able to work and also offer the desired
savings to customers”, says Mr. Ravichandran.
“We have set very high aspirations in India, looking
at a 20% share of the market by 2015. We want be the
top 5 markets for Danfoss Power Electronics in the
world and we have the potential opportunity to be there
because of the significant opportunity that India offers.
We are already market leaders in the textile segment
and we want to replicate the same in the other verti-
cals”, he adds.
