Wayne Morris, Vice President of Invertek Drives USA, said: “RADIA produces some of the most durable mixers and shakers in the world. Also, not having unnecessary features, such as a display and keypad, made it a sensible choice for us.” Mr Carlson added: “In testing, we found the Compact 2 nice to work with, with a clear manual, capabilities and programming. ![]() The Compact 2 can drive motors between 0.37kW and 4kW and is available in three sizes with 110v, 230v and 400v capability. We can easily change the parameters at any time as well for different programming requirements should they be needed in different scenarios.” This is important during production where time is money and being able to replicate drive parameters easily and quickly makes all the difference. He added: “Additionally, using the OptistickSMART means the drive can be easily set-up and commissioned within minutes. “The fact that it doesn’t have a fan and is solid state means there is little to fail, and it can handle rugged situations, as our in-house testing demonstrated.” “Key reasons for choosing it were its small size, the fact that it mounts in any direction and with a heat-sink at the bottom it does not require much space around it, with the heat dissipating into an adjacent compartment within the mixer. We tested the Compact 2 and found it more than matched our needs,” he said. ![]() “Our products are used rigorously by our customers for a range of scenarios and deliver the lowest total cost of ownership over the life of their equipment, and we needed a drive to match our product reliability. The Optidrive Compact 2 was ideal due to its small size and reliability, according to Steve Carlson, Senior Development Engineer at RADIA.
