Beat the grind
19 April 2016
When an Australian specialist supplier of concrete surface preparation equipment was having problems with the reliability of one of its floor grinders, the solution came in the form of Invertek’s Optidrive E3.

The Optidrive E3 with 240 VAC offers good stability, even when overloaded. It is also IP66 rated, meaning it is dust-tight, thus preventing the on-going problem of damage being caused to the machine’s fans and components.
Brett Masters, Invertek’s sales partner in Brisbane, Australia, said: “After installing the Optidrive E3, the machine was transformed in terms of stability while torque performance could be raised from 50Hz to 60Hz without causing any issues."
