Solutions
Mitsubishi Electric offers an equipment package at a reasonable price to meet the above control requirements. This is the optimal choice for machine manufacturers in the food and beverage sector.
Inverter FR-CS80: The smallest inverter on the market which is suitable for compact electrical cabinets in the machine manufacturing industry. The boards are coated with an anti-corrosion and moisture-proof coating to prolong the life of the inverter, especially in hot and humid environments like F&B factories. The inverter controls the speed of the stirrer while maintaining consistent stirring force for different types of food.
