The Vorecon drive system is very simple and requires few components, compared to a variable
frequency drive system.
Result: less required space, less building cost and simpler installation and commissioning

Durable
We design our Vorecon variable-speed
planetary gear for a life time of more
than 25 years

Mechanical components will still be

available 30 years from today

Now matter how tough the

environmental requirements are
- heat, cold, dust or explosion hazards -
the robust Vorecon can handle them.
