EU Directives
All factories are certified according to ISO 14001 standard and fulfil the EU Directives for General
Product Safety (GPSD) and the Machinery directive. Danfoss Drives is in all product series
implementing the EU Directive concerning Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electrical
Equipment (RoHS) and is designing all new product series according to the EU Directive on
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
Products impact
One year’s production of VLT® drives will save energy equivalent to the energy production of a power plant.
Better process control at the same time improves product quality and reduces waste & wear on Equipment.
Danfoss India
Danfoss India commenced India sales operation in year 1999 and gained market share to become one among the
top 3 drives suppliers in India. Danfoss India HQ at Chennai with in house High power drive testing facility,
Engineering panel shop, Service and training centre along with warehouse. Customised panels and engineered
packaged solutions for various applications and projects are designed and executed from Chennai works.
Danfoss India has 10 sales and service offices across India and 24 channel partner net work for 24*7 sales/support.
Danfoss has been focusing on Business area for increased market reach with dedicated drive solutions for industry like
CHEMICAL,PHARMA,FERTILIZER,PLASTIC,RUBBER etc. and gaining market share to become global leader in drives solutions.

Applications |
DANFOSS VLT® Drives designed for High performance &Reliable operation in most demanding applications like Plastic Industry…
Danfoss has been specialising in Dedicated drives solutions with to Industry, HVAC, Water segment with VLT FC300
Automation drive, VLT FC102 HVAC Drive & VLT FC202 Aqua Drive with industry specific features built in to drive.
Reliability, User-friendly, Flexibility, Intelligent has been the main focus of Danfoss Drives development
Some of the key points in Plastic Industry are:
High ambient/operating temperature, micro dust, operator training and usage, Reliability of equipment,
down time due to malfunctioning and repeated repairs, availability of spares and faster service support
just to name a few...
Danfoss VLT Drives are designed keeping the above points in mind and with many features which
gives intangible benefits to customers other than direct purchase cost. These features and technology
is later followed by drives suppliers as industry standard.
Some of the VLT Drive features which benefit the Plastic Industry users are:
 |
Inbuilt Harmonic filters
Fulfils EN 61000-3-2/3-12 with no need to have external AC chokes thus saving cost,
space and loss in Voltage drop of 1.5%. Due to voltage drop by the AC coils, motor
gets low voltage and draws more current to drive the same power kw.
|
 |
Built in RFI filter
Comply to EMC-Norm EN55011 Class A and B and no need to have an external fitter RFI filters which
are required to be fitted to avoid the noise interference to PLC, Computers and other sensitive
instruments due to switching frequency.
|
 |
Specially coated PCB's
confirming to IEC721-3-3 Class 3C2-3. Due to micro plastic dust deposition the life of the
drive gets reduced and premature failures observed in drives. Danfoss unique factory coated
PPCB's confirms to international marine standards and hence the life of the PCB's and life is
enhanced and does not get affected by dust.
|
 |
Innovative cooling concept with 50Deg.C design and less heat loss
Ambient Temperature across India varies from 35 deg.C to 50 Deg.C and with high moisture.
Many VFD’s offered are designed to lower temperature and are affected due to moisture and
temperature. Hence most of them are recommended to be operated inside AC room else the
life of the VFD’s gets affected after 1 or 2 years thus causing down time and loss of production.
Danfoss Drives designed with Innovative cooling concept and cold plate platform to handle high ambient of
50 deg.C and also to take care of moisture. Heat loss produced are lesser as compared to many leading make
VFD's. This is additional saving to customer in-terms of enhanced product life and continuous better efficiency product.
|
 |
Patented VVC+ technology
ensures sine wave current to motor and thus motor does not gets heated up like many VFD’s which gives
non sinusoidal waveform. Due to VVC+ technology, it is not needed to have an inverter grade motor and
also ensure that the life of the standard motor is not reduced.
|
 |
User friendly display and Lock facility
Due to easy menu structure, the programming, configuration setup is easier and faster and also
user-friendly structure for an operator thus saving precious time. Also it is possible to lock
the program to avoid the changing of profile by un authorised persons.
Due to the innovative technology design with application friendly features, Danfoss VLT FC300
Automation drive has been awarded FROST & SULLIVAN AWARD FOR PRODUCT INNOVATION.
|
 |
Spares and Service setup
Danfoss supports and services with 24*7 support policy for VLT’s sold across the globe by us and our OEM’s.
DANFOSS India has been gaining market share and became one of the top drives suppliers within 7 years of
commencing in Indian operations with 10 sales and service network and 60 sales and service partners across
India. Danfoss adopts 24*7 support policy for faster and better support for users to have maximised
productivity and low inventory of spares.
|
Danfoss being socially responsible organisation with all factories with ISO14001 certifications and VLT
drives which are 90% recyclable and confirms to WEEE & RoHS.
