Quantum Controls has saved a glass
manufacturer from suffering a major
loss of production after working over
the weekend to replace a failed
variable speed drive. The VSD
controlled a fan used by Custom
Glass of Merseyside to cool
toughened glass.When the drive
failed on a Saturday, maintenance
contractor Total Plant Analysis called
Quantum Controls who visited the
site that afternoon.

By 4:00 pm on Sunday afternoon,
the failed drive had been replaced
with a 250kW ABB industrial drive.

Darren Oakley, director of Total
Plant Analysis, says: “Quantum
integrated their hire drive with the
customer’s system and supplied a
complete turnkey package.”
As a partner of the Carbon Trust,
Quantum Controls was able to help
procure a loan for a permanent
replacement drive and also signed a
12 month maintenance contract to
maintain it.
