A gearless redesign

Saves space, saves energy, saves costs

During times of a flat economy, many proactive companies use this slow period to fruitfully rethink their operations, revamp their plants and redesign their products to better match the evolving needs of their customers. This time also gives them the chance to look for new products and solutions that save money and enable their customers to operate smarter.

One solution that is recently gaining attention is the gearless drive train solution for industrial applications. The gearless drive train saves money, saves energy and saves space – all key advantages when competing in the ever-tougher global industrial environment.

For the past decade, The Switch has been successfully applying its revolutionary gearless drive train to oil and gas, chemical, and lately, even water applications. The reasons for this success are clear: The Switch offers a proven and reliable gearless drive system that boasts technical advantages as well as a strong application focus.

FIMA, a German compressor systems company, uses our 200 kW high-speed motors for turbo blowers with a speed of nearly 11,000 rpm for operation in extremely explosive environments in China.

For Swiss MAN Turbo, The Switch has been supplying technology for their high-power compressor of 8 MW, 10,000 – 12,000 rpm, which is capable of surviving aggressive gases straight out of a sub-sea gas well.

And for Runtech of Finland, we received our largest repeat order to date for high-speed solid rotor machines used in their Ecopump Turbo products since 1996 as a water-free, flexible and energy-efficient vacuum system for the paper industry.

When The Switch customizes its advanced drive train solution to your specific application, we also can supply the entire package, including filters and the variable speed drive. For every application, we consider the rotating mass and help you choose the machine that best suits your desired end results.

With a focus on the application in question and an unrivaled technical solution, The Switch can help you redesign your products to be light years ahead of the competition.

Is now the time to rethink your designs for a smarter approach to the future?
