Yaskawa Engineered VFD Panel
Sugar Mill Panel Solution
Sugar Mill is a place where the sugarcane is pressed to extract juice and the Juice will be boiled down to make crystals of sugar.
Mill application: Sugar cane Juice extraction by milling is the process of squeezing the juice from the cane under a set of mills using high pressure between heavy iron rollers. Those mills can have from 3 up to 6 roller mills; every set of mills is called a tandem mill or mill train.
Yaskawa supplied Line-up VFD panels with A1000 HHP High-Performance Vector Control Modular Low voltage AC drives with panel engineering solution for 750KW Mill application.
