Molabo is introducing its ISCAD (Clever Stator Cage Drive) motor expertise to the off-highway, industrial, and industrial markets.
The ISCAD expertise can ship 25-200kW peak energy and as much as 150kW steady energy at simply 48V.
The corporate’s first off-highway software of this expertise is the ONOX, a totally electrical tractor outfitted with a battery-swapping system. The tractor integrates 4 50 kW Aries 50 drives: two fundamental drives and two energy take-offs (PTOs). This configuration offers ample energy for tackling robust terrain.
The 2 PTOs ship clear, quiet electrical power to energy farming implements like hay cutters, balers, disc harrows, mowers, diggers, or grinders.
“There have been a number of the explanation why we selected to accomplice with Molabo. The motor delivers roughly 40% extra energy than our earlier era at simply 48 volts. The motor can be fairly compact in design and has an built-in motor controller for simplicity,” stated Daniel Hornung, undertaking supervisor for ONOX.
Presently, greater than 65,000 farms in Germany produce renewable power. The ONOX tractor, when mixed with on-farm biogas, wind, or photo voltaic photovoltaics, enhances independence and resilience to fluctuating diesel costs, reduces emissions, and should decrease operational prices whereas rising revenue margins.
The ONOX tractor’s battery-swapping system eliminates downtime for charging and doesn’t require a robust grid connection—an set up that may be costly or unavailable in rural areas. As a substitute, the batteries cost from the renewables generated on the farm, and operators swap depleted batteries in simply 5 minutes.
Moreover, ONOX batteries can function auxiliary or emergency power storage for the ability, serving to to stabilize the native electrical grid. The ONOX tractor is appropriate for mild farming or homesteading purposes and is at the moment in its last approval and testing phases.
“After profitable entries within the leisure and industrial marine segments, we’re thrilled to supply our low-voltage electrical drive programs to the off-highway, industrial, agricultural and industrial segments,” stated Adrian Patzak, COO of Molabo GmbH. “Our touch-safe Aries drives are a recreation changer for tools producers. Prior to now, low-voltage drives had been solely accessible as much as 30 kW. Because of our patented ISCAD expertise, OEMs can now develop highly effective emission-free automobiles and tools which might be straightforward to certify, service, and preserve.”
Presently, most electrified off-highway automobiles are constructed on high-voltage automotive platforms. Nonetheless, off-highway tools is commonly utilized in distant or rural areas the place entry to high-voltage skilled service personnel and specialised instruments could also be restricted. With Aries drives, service and upkeep might be carried out on-site.
“We needed to make it as straightforward and protected as potential for present skilled employees to take care of the tractor,” stated Hornung.
Whereas the ONOX tractor is breaking new floor within the agriculture business, Molabo expertise can be being utilized in different heavy-duty sectors equivalent to turbines and manufacturing unit tools that beforehand relied on high-voltage motors.
“The alternatives are infinite,” stated Patzak. “We’re wanting ahead to working with extra modern firms to affect their product choices.”
