Key Features of the VARIVAC
- Greater overall dairy power savings. Power savings of 40 – 80% on the vacuum pump motor alone.
- Generally reduces herd Somatic Cell Counts (SCC).
- First Environment Compatible (minimising stray voltage effects).
- Generally faster milking times due to happier cows. (approx 15 minutes per 500 cows).
- Reduces noise due to lower pump speeds and no Air Regulator inrush noise. Improved hygiene due to no air regulator air admissions. Forget about cleaning air regulators!
- Can increase the vacuum reserve by up to 20%, if needed.
- Vacuum system components wear reduced due to lower pump speeds.
- High capital depreciation asset – 60%. (NZ).
- A VARIVAC can be retrofitted to any vacuum pump and it’s particularly suited to water ring type vacuum pumps (highest power users).
- The system can easily be installed between milkings.
- Supplied with an IP55 rating (IP66 also available).
- The single controller operates multiple Vacuum Pump Systems.
- “Milk” and “Wash” and “Herd Test” menus allow user-selectable vacuum levels.
- Available from 4Kw (5.5hp) through to 30Kw (40hp).
- Soft starting and controlled stop by controller reduces the shock load wear factor.
- The controller provides improved motor protection.
- The controller provides information readouts in English.
- Automatic Motor Adaptation provides the best possible motor performance.
- Payback times within two seasons in most installations.
- System manufactured to a Telarc Registered Quality Standard.
- VARIVAC uses Danfoss high quality, high-reliability controllers, backed by an international service network.
- In-built Radio Frequency suppression and power spike filters as standard. Meets all Australasian radio frequency suppression standards.
- The controller will control all current types of vacuum pumps in use today including twin or multiple motor and pump setups including early model oil vane pumps.
- The VARIVAC It is the only system designed specifically to retrofit to all vacuum pump types including water ring.
- The system has won awards in 1998, 2002 and 2004 NZ National Fieldays plus NZ National ECANZ award in 1999, for energy savings and innovation.
