Process & FD fans
No-load start, fast current decay and stepless speed control that replaces damper throttling with energy saving.
Couplings for fertilizer and chemical plants — process fans, boiler-feed and slurry-pump drives, agitators and more — including proven energy savings at Indo Gulf and Khaitan.
Fertilizer and chemical plants run a demanding mix of process and FD fans, boiler-feed and slurry pumps, agitators and compressors — many of them critical to a continuous process where an unplanned trip means lost production. Fluidomat couplings let motors start on no load, soften the starting-current kick and protect every drive from overload, while variable-speed scoop-control couplings turn fan and pump speed control into measurable energy savings.
The proof is in the field. At Indo Gulf Fertilizer, Jagdishpur, a custom-built scoop-control coupling on a 1090 KW ammonia-plant FD fan saved 400 KW of power — around Rs 1.5 crore a year — by replacing damper throttling with stepless speed control. At Khaitan Chemicals & Fertilizers, a variable-speed coupling installed on a 258 KW fan drive in 1996 is still running successfully today.
