Harper highlights that it offers a modern and sustainable drive solution. It’s a more eco-friendly solution, Harper adds, with applications for conveyor drives, traveling drives, winding drives, hoist drives, extruders, packaging machines, pumps, and fans. “It’s like an electric car,” he observes, citing its recharging capabilities. Schroeder says he likes where the company is going these days, especially concerning some innovative and truly cutting-edge new products like the motec. Motec’s continued evolution will allow it to have built-in CIP Safety in 2024, a development that was expedited based on the feedback of customers in the North American market. Always ahead of the curve and adapting its already successful applications, Lenze Americas is looking forward to the evolution of additional products coming down the production pipeline to market to its customers in the coming months. “We’re not in the habit of developing ‘me- too’ products and solutions for the industry,” Schroeder continues, citing a balance between customer needs and industry needs. “We’re listening to our customers’ goals and trying to develop products that can help them reach those goals, and push the industry forward.”
