We are delighted to announce an exciting new collaboration between ANDRITZ and AS Drives partnering in the field of innovative direct drive solutions for the pulp and paper industry.
Since more than 30 years, AS-Drives offers a range of products in the drive and lubrication technology sector.
“Our drive technology adds unique features to the ANDRITZ drive solution portfolio. The elimination of gear boxes and couplings reduces maintenance and oil leakages significantly. Customers employing our drives benefit from improved runability of their paper machines as well as significant reductions in vibration and noise level” highlights Heinrich Schrudde, CEO AS Drives.
Dr. Michael Bergmann, Director Business Development EMEA adds, “With this important agreement we are able to offer a complete drive portfolio ranging from traditional drive solutions to high-end performance drive solutions paired with power electronics from well-established OEMs in all global pulp and paper markets. AS Drive`s innovative product range is in line with our continuous ambition to push the boundaries of innovation and to offer real added value to our customers. Moreover, an improved energy efficiency, which already on its own poses a reasonable argument for many to upgrade, is an integral feature of the solution. Simply put, our joint direct drive solution fosters both operating cost savings and reduced environmental footprint.”
