From welding, coating, wire drawing, to destructive rope testing, Optima are very familiar with the production techniques in the metals industry. Upgrading machines from Bronx, Black Clawson, Process Line, Lemmerz and Georg amongst others. More

Packaging, Coating & Converting

Optima have in-depth knowledge of complex winders, tension controls and web transport systems. We have developed bespoke web transport solutions and upgraded production plant for end users in many countries. These include machines from Jagenberg, Bobst, Rotomec, Cerutti, Schiavi, Polytype, Atlas, Delta amongst others.More

Paper

We are pleased to be associated with some of the worlds best-known paper makers. Some machine upgrades include Jagenberg, Beloit Walmsley, Bone Markem, SanduskyWalmsley, Voith Paper, Valmet, Atlas amongst others. More

Printing

Following on from our understanding of complex winders, tension controls and web transport systems we have applied our knowledge of high performance web transport systems to control printing presses. Past upgrades include machines from Rotomec, Cerutti, Schiavi, Polytype, Atlas, Delta. More

Plastics & Rubber

There are a number of critical issues that accompany production of polymers and plastics, be this system stability, temperature, speed or tension. The time it takes to get a stable set of conditions can make a significant difference to a business. At Optima we design our control systems to provide the fastest changeover and the most stable of operating conditions. Our portfolio of contracts has seen us upgrade machines from Bruckner, Davies Standard, Riefenhauser, Egan, Windmoller & Holscher amongst others.More

Aggregates

We have engineered energy saving projects to the Aggregates industry. Applying power saving inverter drives to the main fan, introducing automatic speed regulation with a differential pressure control loop and automatic filter cleaning warning mechanisms. Payback on these projects is typically less than 18 months and clients can often secure Carbon Trust funding for the projects.More

Building Components

Our portfolio of industrial projects includes systems engineered for the building supplies industry. Amongst which are systems for major industry players producing steel forming lines, insulation laminating lines and sub-terrainian reinforcing structures from extruded, formed and stenter treated polymers.More

 

Chemical & Pharmaceutical

This sector presents some of the more challenging environments for electrical systems. Highly explosive areas need to be accounted for in many of the system designs for chemical applications, Atex compliant systems are an inherent part of the solutions we provide to this sector.More

Corrugating

 

We have carried out numerous upgrade projects in this sector being suppliers to some of the major manufacturers in this market. More

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Drive Technology from Optima

The innovative sinamics G220 variable frequency drive from Siemens not only helps reduce harmonics (Gary Wilcock) but is also a more sustainable drive choice. Let us explain.

The animation below shows the draft panel layouts for 8 drives using the G120 drives along with the required input and output reactors due to the long cable lengths involved for this installation. 

Shown on the right of the animation is the draft layout using the new G220 drives.

The new G220 drives, allow us to accommodate double the number of drives in one cabinet as no chokes are required.

SINAMICS G220 – the variable frequency drive for all industries

It has helped Optima Control Solutions Ltd make this a more sustainable design. 

Not only have we have reduced CO2 emissions in transit as the cabinet is lighter, we have also reduced the amount of minerals required to build by avoiding additional copper in the line chokes and steel in the chokes and cabinets.

The fusing for the other 8 drives has been moved to an adjacent cabinet where there are other drive sizes located. The control panel build is now underway. 

A big thanks to Ben Poole, too for his timely demonstration of these excellent drives. Sustainability CleanTech
