Phoenix announces move to Allen Bradley components throughout the product line

A number of upgrades have been recently implemented to the complete range of Phoenix stretch wrapper products. One of these upgrades is that all Phoenix Semi-auto and fully automatic stretch wrappers are controlled using Allen Bradley variable frequency drives for all motors. From our entry level wrapper right up to the high speed automatics, the BALDOR motors are now all controlled using ALLEN BRADLEY Powerflex VFDs. VFD control provides accurate and increased flexibility of the motor and eliminate the problematic DC control boards and the maintenance issues associated with DC motors. Unlike DC motors which can be difficult to locate, AC motors are readily available worldwide.

Allen Bradley components are predominantly used throughout the Phoenix product line. The simplicity, maintenance improvements and control capabilities are improved dramatically and make this upgrade to our lineup a big hit with our customers worldwide. We are sure that this readily available name brand will simplify after sales support for our customers.
