Compressor & Fans/Blowers

Tailored for the most challenging applications globally, KEB Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are particularly well-suited for high-speed turbo compressors and blowers. The KEB F6 drive offers configurable safety features, encoder interfaces, heatsinks, and communication ports, providing a comprehensive set of options to complement and enhance your high-speed motor applications.

KEB’s F6 drive incorporates an advanced control card, available in three performance tiers: Basic, Compact, and Application. It is offered in 230 and 480, supporting up to 450 kW*. Additionally, the platform provides high-speed outputs, reaching up to 2000 Hz, catering to the operation of high-frequency motors. This level of customization empowers machine builders to craft precise, tailored drive solutions that align with their specific application requirements.

Complementing the F6 drive, KEB sine filters are accessible to enhance efficiency in turbo compressors and blowers by reducing rotor heating, limiting high-frequency transient emissions, and improving EMC load. This combination of control and automation solutions not only brings about notable efficiency gains, but also ensures that high-speed motor applications operate more smoothly, functionally, and safely.
